What's on the Missouri Residential Journeyman Electrician Exam?
Prov's Missouri Residential Journeyman Electrician exam is 40 questions in 2 hours, open book, and you need 70%. The NEC is the only reference, in the edition of your version (2017, 2020 or 2023); the counts below are Prov's for the 2023 version.
The outline
| Area | Questions |
|---|---|
| NEC Chapter 2 (wiring and protection) | 18 |
| General Theory | 5 |
| NEC Chapter 1 (general) | 4 |
| NEC Chapter 3 (wiring methods) | 4 |
| Safety | 3 |
| NEC Chapter 4 (equipment) | 2 |
| NEC Chapter 5 (special occupancies) | 2 |
| NEC Chapter 6 (special equipment) | 2 |
| Total | 40 |
How to study
- Weight your time like the outline. The largest areas above are where most of your points come from.
- Know your edition. If the Board assigns you a 2017 or 2020 version, study from that book; several load-calculation tables moved between editions.
- Practice lookups. With the NEC as the only book allowed, speed in finding a section is the skill the exam rewards.
Our Missouri Residential Journeyman Electrician practice test draws from these areas in the same proportions, on the 2023 NEC. For test-day logistics, see exam day.
