Exam Details

The Massachusetts Journeyman Electrician examination is administered by PSI for candidates approved through the Board of State Examiners of Electricians. Candidates are eligible for the two-part examination after their application and supporting documentation are reviewed and approved. Each part of the examination is scored separately, and candidates must pass both parts to obtain licensure.

The Massachusetts Journeyman Electrician Part 1 exam includes 80 questions, requires a 70% passing score, and allows 180 minutes of testing time. Part 1 focuses on electrical trade knowledge and code-related subject areas. The content outline includes general knowledge, services, grounding and bonding, wiring methods and devices, motors, transformers, low-voltage distribution, special occupancies and equipment, overcurrent protection, lighting, alarm systems, photovoltaic systems, and energy storage systems.

The Massachusetts Journeyman Electrician Part 2 applied portion includes 30 questions, requires a 70% passing score, and allows 60 minutes of testing time. Part 2 covers circuit calculations using Ohm’s Law, electrical schematics and plans, materials and components, troubleshooting and testing, Massachusetts amendments, and licensing laws and regulations.

Because the Massachusetts journeyman exam is split into two independently scored parts, candidates should study both broad electrical code knowledge and applied problem solving. A candidate who is strong with code lookup but weak in calculations, plans, troubleshooting, or Massachusetts rules can still struggle on the applied portion. A balanced study routine should include both NEC review and hands-on problem practice.

Open Book Test

The Massachusetts Journeyman Electrician exam is an open book test. The examination is computer generated and delivered in two parts. Candidates may use allowed reference materials during the exam, subject to the rules issued by PSI and the Board of State Examiners of Electricians.

Open book testing still requires serious preparation. The National Electrical Code is a detailed technical reference, and candidates who are unfamiliar with its structure can lose valuable time searching through unrelated sections. A prepared candidate should know how to identify the topic in the question, locate the correct NEC article or table, understand the wording, and apply the rule accurately.

Massachusetts permits the current adopted edition of the National Electrical Code, the current adopted Massachusetts State Amendments, applicable Massachusetts General Laws, Board Rules and Regulations, NFPA 72, and other allowed references listed in the candidate information. Reference materials may include highlighted or underlined original text. Prior-to-exam formulas may be written on blank pages of the code book, and handwritten notes in the margins of allowed reference materials are listed as allowed. During the exam, candidates may only write on the scrap paper provided by PSI.

The included National Electrical Code 2026 Paperback with Tabs is intended to help candidates practice reference navigation before exam day. Candidates can use it to become familiar with definitions, services, feeders, branch circuits, wiring methods, grounding and bonding, overcurrent protection, motors, transformers, special occupancies, photovoltaic systems, energy storage systems, and Chapter 9 tables.

Licensing Steps

Massachusetts journeyman electrician licensing begins with meeting the Board’s education and experience requirements. Candidates submit their application and supporting documents through PSI, the Board’s exam vendor. After approval, candidates receive authorization to schedule the examination.

A typical Massachusetts journeyman electrician path includes registering and working as an apprentice, completing the required supervised electrical work experience, completing the required education program, completing the required code update education when applicable, submitting the online exam application to PSI, uploading education and work documentation, receiving approval, scheduling the exam, passing both exam parts, and paying the license fee for issuance of the license.

Applicants for the journeyman electrician exam must document electrical work experience and classroom education. The application documentation includes education records, work experience certification, CORI authorization, and proof of required code update education. Work experience documentation should identify the supervising journeyman electrician and license number when required by the application instructions.

State Requirements

Massachusetts requires journeyman electrician applicants to meet specific education and experience standards before sitting for the examination. A journeyman electrician applicant must document a minimum of 8,000 clock hours of electrical work experience completed in no less than four years before applying for examination. The work must be performed as an apprentice under the required supervision.

Massachusetts also requires 600 clock hours of approved classroom instruction as a prerequisite for the journeyman electrician examination. The required education includes electrical theory, National Electrical Code application, branch circuit calculations, feeder and service calculations, bonding and grounding, conductor selection, overcurrent protection, wiring methods, motors and controls, transformers, low-voltage systems, Massachusetts Electrical Code and amendments, Massachusetts laws and regulations, inspection requirements, and job-site safety.

The state’s candidate information identifies five key application items: the registration form, education documentation, work experience documentation, CORI authorization, and proof of completing a 15-hour code update from a Board-approved provider when required by regulation. Candidates should keep accurate records of employment, apprenticeship hours, school completion, code update courses, and supervising license information.

Passing both parts of the examination is an important licensing step, but candidates are considered licensed only after receiving notice of passing scores and receiving the printed license or temporary license issued through the Board’s process. Journeyman electrician licensure is separate from electrical business licensing and master electrician qualification.
