Frequently Asked Questions

What is on a journeyman electrician licensing exam?

Most journeyman electrician exams focus on NEC code lookup, wiring methods, conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, grounding and bonding, motors, transformers, boxes, raceways, and electrical safety. The exact content outline depends on the state, city, county, or testing vendor. That is why a good electrician practice test should build both code-reading speed and practical troubleshooting judgment.

How many questions are on the electrician license test?

Journeyman electrician exams commonly include about 80 to 100 multiple-choice questions. Some jurisdictions use shorter specialty exams, and some master electrician exams run longer. Always check the candidate bulletin for your local board because the question count is not nationally identical.

How much time do I get on the electrician exam?

A common time limit is 3 to 4 hours for a journeyman electrician exam. That sounds generous until you are flipping through NEC tables, calculations, and exceptions under pressure. Practice with a timer so code lookup becomes calm and automatic.

What score do I need to pass?

Many jurisdictions use 70% as the passing score, but local rules can vary. Some boards scale scores or use vendor-specific reporting, so do not assume another state's cutoff applies to your license. Check the official bulletin before scheduling.

Is the electrician licensing exam open book?

Many electrician licensing exams are open book for the NEC or an approved code reference, but that does not mean they are easy. You still need to know where to look and how to interpret the rule quickly. Some jurisdictions restrict tabs, handwritten notes, or which code edition you can bring.

How much does an electrician licensing exam cost?

Cost varies by state, local board, and testing vendor. You may pay an application fee, an exam fee, and sometimes a separate license issuance fee after passing. It is smart to check your board's current fee schedule before you budget for the test date.

How should I use an electrician practice test to study?

Start untimed so you can learn the code structure and review every explanation. Then switch to timed sets that feel closer to the real exam. A journeyman electrician practice test is most useful when you treat missed questions as a map: mark the article, table, or definition that would have led you to the right answer.

Can I find an electrician license practice test free?

Yes, free practice questions are useful for checking readiness and spotting weak areas before you buy a larger prep course. Just make sure the material reflects the NEC edition used by your jurisdiction. Free questions are a starting point, not a replacement for reading the code book itself.
