Exam Details

The Idaho Electrical Journeyman exam is part of the licensing process administered through the Idaho Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses and the Idaho Electrical Board. Idaho’s electrical exam process is offered through PSI, and applicants seeking initial licensure as an Electrical Journeyman must meet the requirements for licensure and pass the required examination before submitting the license application to DOPL.

The Idaho Electrical Journeyman exam is a 4-hour examination. The minimum passing score for the Journeyman Electrician exam is 70%. The exam uses multiple-choice questions with four answer options, and the testing information also notes that true and false questions may appear. Candidates receive exam results after the examination is completed.

The Idaho electrical exam bulletin lists the Journeyman exam breakdown by National Electrical Code areas. The journeyman breakdown includes intro material, Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4, Chapter 5, Chapter 6, Chapter 7, Chapter 8, Chapter 9, and calculations, for a total of 100 questions. Candidates should prepare for a broad NEC-based exam rather than studying only one or two code articles.

The largest listed subject areas for the Idaho Electrical Journeyman exam include Chapter 2 and Chapter 3, each with 20 questions. Chapter 4 includes 15 questions, and Chapter 5 includes 13 questions. Candidates should also review general requirements, definitions, wiring and protection, wiring methods and materials, equipment for general use, special occupancies, special equipment, special conditions, communications systems, tables, and electrical calculations.

The exam fee listed in the Idaho electrical exam bulletin is $75. Candidates must follow the current scheduling process published by Idaho DOPL and PSI. Exam procedures, scheduling systems, reference rules, and code editions are controlled by the licensing authority and testing provider.

Open Book Test

The Idaho Electrical Journeyman exam is an open book test. Idaho’s electrical exam rules state that all electrical license exams are open book and that candidates are responsible for bringing their own approved references to the testing site. Code books are not provided at the exam location.

Idaho allows candidates to highlight books, tab different sections, and leave notes in reference material before the exam. Loose paper in reference materials is not allowed. Electronic devices are not allowed in the testing room. Candidates should prepare their approved references before test day and make sure the materials follow the rules issued by the licensing authority and exam provider.

Open book does not mean the exam is easy. Candidates must know how to move through the NEC quickly, locate the correct article or table, understand the wording, and apply the rule to the question. Time can be lost quickly when candidates search randomly or rely only on jobsite memory. The included National Electrical Code 2026 Paperback with Tabs helps candidates build code-navigation habits during study sessions.

Good open-book preparation includes timed code lookup practice. Candidates should work through practice questions, identify the subject area, locate the applicable code article or table, answer the question, and review why the answer is correct. This helps build both accuracy and speed for the timed Idaho Electrical Journeyman exam.

Licensing Steps

Idaho journeyman electrician licensing is handled through the Idaho Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses and the Idaho Electrical Board. Applicants seeking initial licensure as an Electrical Journeyman must meet Idaho’s licensing requirements, pass the required examination through PSI, and then apply for licensure through DOPL.

A typical Idaho Electrical Journeyman path includes applying for and maintaining active apprentice registration, gaining qualifying work experience, completing approved schooling when using the apprenticeship school pathway, registering for and passing the required examination through PSI, and applying for licensure through DOPL after passing the exam.

Idaho lists two main qualification routes for initial Electrical Journeyman licensure. One route includes 8,000 hours of work experience and four years of approved schooling. Another route allows 16,000 hours of work experience. Candidates should organize documentation carefully because the licensing authority reviews whether the applicant meets the state requirements for the license type being requested.

Application Service is included with this Ultimate Combo. This service supports the application side of the licensing process by helping candidates organize documents and understand the general sequence of steps. It does not guarantee exam eligibility, a passing score, application approval, or issuance of an Idaho electrical journeyman license.

Candidates should keep records of apprentice registration, work history, employer information, supervised electrical experience, approved schooling, completed training, and any other documentation required for the application pathway. Organized records can make the licensing process easier after the exam is completed.

State Requirements

Idaho requires journeyman electricians who perform work in the state to be properly licensed. The Idaho Electrical Board and DOPL oversee electrical licensing and examination procedures. The Electrical Program exists to help protect life, health, and property by ensuring electrical installations comply with current safety codes and electrical standards.

Applicants seeking initial licensure as an Electrical Journeyman must meet Idaho’s experience and training requirements and pass the required examination before submitting an application for licensure. The state’s listed pathway includes an active apprentice registration, 8,000 hours of work experience, and four years of approved schooling, or 16,000 hours of work experience.

After passing the required examination, candidates apply for licensure through DOPL. The licensing process is separate from simply completing the exam. Passing the exam is an important step, but the candidate must still complete the application process and satisfy the state’s documentation requirements.

Idaho’s electrical exam process is now offered through PSI. Candidates registering for an examination should use the current PSI and DOPL instructions for the exam they plan to take. The candidate bulletin and DOPL information identify the current registration process, reference rules, scheduling steps, and post-exam licensing steps.

This Ultimate Combo is based on the 2026 National Electrical Code. Candidates should use 2026 NEC-based materials to prepare for the code cycle associated with this product and build the code-navigation skills needed for an open-book journeyman electrician exam.

Because the exam is open book, efficient reference use is one of the most important study skills.

The Idaho exam breakdown shows that Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 topics carry significant weight. Candidates should spend focused time reviewing wiring and protection, wiring methods and materials, conductors, cables, raceways, boxes, grounding and bonding, branch circuits, feeders, overcurrent protection, and related tables. Chapter 4 equipment topics, Chapter 5 special occupancies, and Chapter 6 special equipment should also be part of the study plan.
