New Hampshire Master Electrician Exam Day: What to Expect
The New Hampshire master exam is a Prov computer exam: 126 questions in 300 minutes, open book, with 70% to pass.
Where you test
Prov's New Hampshire test centers are in Concord (two), Nashua and Newington. You can also test at any other Prov center in the country, or from home with a remote proctor through Examroom.ai. Remote testing needs a recent computer with a webcam and microphone, Chrome or Firefox, a steady connection, a clear desk and a closed room; run Prov's system check before you book.
Before the day
You can book only after the Electricians' Board approves you. Reschedule or cancel free at least three days ahead; after that, or for a no-show, the $90 fee is lost. At a test center, late arrivals are turned away once the session starts.
What to bring
- A current government photo ID with a signature, matching your registration name exactly.
- Your references from Prov's master list: the 2020 NEC, Ugly's Electrical References 2020, the American Electricians' Handbook 17th edition, and your printed copy of RSA 319-C and Elec 100-400. With 25 law questions, tab the printout by rule number.
How your books can be marked
- Allowed: permanent tabs and highlighting or underlining done before the exam.
- Not allowed: sticky notes, handwritten notes or formulas, and anything taped, glued or pasted in, such as an index. You cannot write in your books during the exam.
Pacing
Five hours for 126 questions is about 2⅓ minutes a question. The law questions are usually the fastest points if your printout is tabbed; take them as they come and save the motor and feeder calculations for a second pass.
Results and retakes
Prov scores the exam as soon as you finish and reports it to the Board. If you fail, wait 30 days to retest; attempts are unlimited. After a year from the Board receiving your application without a pass, you reapply.
