Exam Details

Louisiana’s statewide trade testing for electrical contracting is handled through the Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors (LSLBC), with examinations administered through PSI. The PSI content outline for the Louisiana Electrical Statewide Examination lists the following exam structure:

• Number of questions: 100
• Minimum passing score: 70 (70%)
• Time allowed: 240 minutes

The same PSI outline also provides a topic breakdown so you can plan your study time with purpose. Content areas include General Knowledge, General Electrical Knowledge, Electrical Installation Requirements, Services/Feeders/Branch Circuits, Overcurrent Protection, Grounding and Bonding, Conductors and Cables, Raceways and Boxes, Special Occupancies and Equipment (including swimming pools), Low Voltage/Alarms/Signaling/Communications, Lighting and Signs, Safety, and Motors and Transformers.

This combination is exactly why preparation needs to be balanced. You’re not only answering NEC lookups—you’re applying rules to real scenarios, selecting correct methods, and completing calculations without getting stuck.

Open Book Test

PSI’s Louisiana Electrical Statewide Examination outline states: “This examination is OPEN book.” It also explains reference rules, including that candidates are responsible for bringing approved references, references may be highlighted/underlined/annotated/indexed prior to the exam, and permanent tabs are allowed while temporary tabs (such as Post-It notes) are not allowed.

Open-book testing is not about memorizing the NEC cover to cover. It’s about becoming fast and accurate at:

• Recognizing what the question is really asking (selection, sizing, protection, method, or calculation output)
• Finding the controlling NEC rule (article, part, table, exception, or definition)
• Reading carefully for conditions and exceptions that change the correct answer
• Maintaining pace so one slow lookup doesn’t derail your finish

The tabbed NEC in this Super Combo is designed to support navigation training during study so you can build “map knowledge” of the code and move through questions more efficiently.

Licensing Steps

LSLBC’s testing guidance explains that to qualify for a trade examination, you must first submit an application for licensure (or submit a request to add a classification or qualifying party). After approval, PSI sends an eligibility confirmation so you can schedule and pay for the approved exam. PSI’s LSLBC scheduling bulletin notes eligibility is valid for one year to pass the exam; if you do not pass within that window, you must reapply.

A practical licensing-and-testing flow typically looks like this:

1. Apply through LSLBC for licensure or to add the appropriate classification/qualifying party.
2. Receive approval to test and watch for your PSI eligibility confirmation.
3. Register, schedule, and pay through PSI once you are approved (LSLBC notes scheduling/payment are managed directly through PSI).
4. Take and pass the Louisiana Electrical Statewide Examination within your eligibility window.
5. Complete remaining licensing steps required for issuance and ongoing maintenance under LSLBC rules.

This Super Combo is built to support the study phase so that when you reach the scheduling stage, your focus is pace, accuracy, and confidence—rather than trying to assemble resources at the last minute.

State Requirements

Louisiana’s electrical contracting classification is published by the Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors. LSLBC’s Electrical classification description covers work involving installation, construction, alteration, improvement, movement, maintenance, repair, or demolition of electrical wiring, cabling, fixtures, appliances, equipment, and related hardware for the supply of electricity to a structure or project, provided the value exceeds $10,000. LSLBC also explains that low voltage and fiber/cable infrastructure may require the Electrical classification when the work involves equipment installation, mounting hardware, wiring, or penetrations through walls, ceilings, floors, closed spaces, or the building envelope.

LSLBC also requires applicants to designate a Qualifying Party. In LSLBC’s checklist for initial licensure and maintaining a license, the Qualifying Party is described as the person designated to represent the licensed entity for purposes that include complying with Business & Law requirements, meeting classification requirements, and maintaining ongoing compliance. The checklist also outlines who may serve as a qualifying party (for example, a sole proprietor, qualified full-time employee, officer, partner, member, or manager, depending on business structure).

For application preparation, LSLBC’s online application instructions list documentation and information requirements that commonly include:

• Applicant and business identity information (including business entity details when applicable)
• Contact and identification details for key individuals and qualifying parties
• Louisiana Secretary of State registration information for business entities (LLC, corporation, LP), when required
• A financial statement noted as required for all license applicants in the application instructions

Because requirements depend on license type and how you apply (individual vs. business entity, classifications requested, and qualifying party structure), a strong prep strategy is to pair solid study with organized paperwork readiness. This bundle focuses on the exam-side performance you need: NEC navigation, calculations, and steady decision-making under a time limit.

Reference Books

PSI’s Louisiana Electrical Statewide Examination outline lists approved references and the code edition used for code questions. Reference materials may be highlighted, underlined, annotated, and/or indexed prior to the exam session, but may not be written in during the exam. Permanent tabs are allowed; temporary tabs are not allowed.

• NFPA 70 – National Electrical Code, 2023 Edition
  The listed code reference for code questions on the Louisiana Electrical Statewide Examination.
• Code of Federal Regulations – 29 CFR Part 1926 (OSHA)
  Listed as an allowed reference (either the CFR volume with latest amendments or PSI’s selections version).
• Ugly’s Electrical References (2011, 2014, or 2017 edition)
  Listed by PSI as an allowed reference in the testing room.

Test Information and Study Materials

The Louisiana Electrical Statewide Examination is 100 questions in 240 minutes. That means you need a plan that builds speed without sacrificing accuracy. The most effective approach is to study in layers—navigation, calculations, and quick recall—then combine them under timed practice.

1) Train NEC navigation like a skill (because it is)

On an open-book exam, time is your most valuable resource. A slow lookup can cost you two questions worth of time. Use your tabbed NEC to build better habits:

• Predict before you search: train yourself to identify the likely chapter/article before using the index.
• Look for the “controlling sentence”: many questions hinge on one requirement, permission, or exception.
• Use tables with confidence: practice reading table headings, notes, and conditions so you don’t misapply them.
• Build repetition: the goal is to recognize where topics live so you depend less on searching over time.

2) Make calculations repeatable (and faster)

Calculations are commonly where candidates lose time—not because the math is advanced, but because setup becomes inconsistent under pressure. The 2023 Electrician Calculations Study Guide helps you practice a repeatable process so your work stays clean and efficient:

• Identify the output: what does the question want—amps, VA, conductor size, OCPD, fill, or another result?
• Confirm NEC constraints: when a table, factor, or limitation changes the method, find it early.
• Write steps in the same order every time: consistent structure reduces mistakes and speeds up problem-solving.
• Sanity-check results: quick reasonableness checks help catch common unit or setup errors.

3) Use flash cards for daily momentum

Flash cards are the simplest way to stay consistent without burnout. They help keep key concepts “active,” which makes questions easier to read and reduces second-guessing. Use the 2023 Master Electrician Flash Cards to:

• Reinforce definitions and terms that shape how code language is interpreted
• Strengthen recognition of high-frequency NEC concepts that appear across multiple topic areas
• Create a “trouble stack” and review your weakest concepts more often

4) Combine everything in timed practice blocks

The exam clock is real. The fastest way to feel calm on test day is to make timed practice feel normal now.

• Run timed sets: work in 30–45 minute blocks and track what slows you down.
• Practice move-forward discipline: if a question becomes a time sink, mark it and return later.
• Review by finding the controlling rule: after each session, locate the exact NEC rule that supports the correct answer.

That’s what this Super Combo is designed to support: a clear routine that builds skill, not just effort.
