Exam Details

New Mexico journeyman certification is handled through the New Mexico Regulation and Licensing Department, Construction Industries Division. PSI conducts the examination approval process and administers the examinations for New Mexico journeyman candidates. Candidates must be preapproved before scheduling an examination, and eligibility must be used within the period stated in the PSI and state instructions.

The EE-98J Journeyman Residential and Commercial Electrical classification includes Part 1 Code, Part 2 Theory, and a practical examination. The Part 1 Code examination is listed with 50 questions, a 75% passing score, and 145 minutes allowed. The Part 2 Theory examination is listed with 50 questions, a 75% passing score, and 120 minutes allowed. The practical examination is listed with 100 points, a 75% passing score, and 120 minutes allowed.

The EE-98J Part 1 Code examination includes General Knowledge and Electrical Installation Requirements, Services, Feeders and Branch Circuits, Overcurrent Protection, Grounding and Bonding, Conductors and Cables, Raceways and Boxes, Hazardous Locations, Special Occupancies and Special Equipment, Lighting, Signs and General-Use Equipment, Motors, Transformers and Generators, and New Mexico State Code.

The EE-98J Part 2 Theory examination includes General Knowledge and Electrical Installation Requirements, Services, Feeders and Branch Circuits, Overcurrent Protection, Grounding and Bonding, Conductors and Cables, Raceways and Boxes, Hazardous Locations, Special Occupancies and Special Equipment, Lighting, Signs and General-Use Equipment, and Low Voltage, including Alarms.

The EE-98J practical examination includes hands-on point categories such as a motor control project, transformer project, doorbell project, lighting project, simple conduit bending, complex conduit bending, and materials identification. Candidates should prepare for both written knowledge and practical trade tasks because the New Mexico journeyman process is not limited to multiple-choice questions.

This combo supports preparation by giving students study guide review, repeated practice exams, full final exams, and flash card review. Students can use the practice exams to build exam familiarity, the final exams to complete longer review sessions, and the flash cards to reinforce theory, calculations, code concepts, New Mexico rules, and trade terminology between longer study blocks.

Open Book Test

The New Mexico EE-98J Part 1 Code examination is open book. The EE-98J Part 2 Theory examination is closed book. The practical examination measures hands-on electrical skills and should be prepared for as a separate practical trade evaluation. Because the exam process includes both reference-based and closed-book testing, students should prepare with two goals: fast code navigation for Part 1 and strong memory-based understanding for Part 2 and practical work.

For the open-book portion, candidates are responsible for bringing approved references to the testing center. Reference materials must be bound and may be highlighted, underlined, or indexed before the exam session. References containing writing are not allowed. Candidates may not write in references during the exam session. Additional papers, whether loose or attached, are not permitted with approved references. Permanent tabs are allowed, but temporary tabs such as Post-it notes are not allowed.

Open book does not mean easy. Candidates still need to understand electrical concepts, recognize how questions are written, locate information quickly, apply code rules correctly, and manage time. A student who depends only on searching through references for every answer can lose valuable time during the exam.

For the closed-book theory portion, students need stronger recall of electrical fundamentals, general installation requirements, low-voltage and alarm concepts, grounding and bonding, conductors, raceways, boxes, overcurrent protection, and theory-based trade knowledge. Flash cards are especially helpful for this portion because they help students practice active recall instead of passive reading.

A strong New Mexico strategy includes learning where major NEC topics are located, practicing article navigation, reviewing New Mexico Electrical Code rules, memorizing core theory concepts, and practicing hands-on trade tasks when practical testing is part of the candidate’s exam path. This combo supports that preparation with multiple review methods before test day.

Licensing Steps

New Mexico journeyman certification begins with meeting the qualification requirements for the classification the applicant is pursuing. For the EE-98J Journeyman Residential and Commercial Electrical classification, the common experience requirement is four years, or 8,000 hours, of qualifying electrical experience. Other New Mexico journeyman classifications may require different experience levels, so applicants should apply for the classification that matches their work history and career goal.

A typical New Mexico journeyman path includes completing supervised electrical experience, maintaining accurate work records, gathering verification documents, submitting the required application materials, receiving approval from the Construction Industries Division process, scheduling the required examinations through PSI, passing the required written and practical examinations, and completing the remaining certification steps.

Candidates should keep records of employment dates, job duties, hours worked, supervising personnel, apprenticeship participation when applicable, related classroom training, employer verification, and any documents required by the state or PSI. Accurate records help support the application process and reduce delays when the candidate is ready to seek examination approval.

Once a candidate becomes eligible, the candidate must follow PSI’s scheduling instructions and take the required examinations within the eligibility period. Passing scores are valid for the period stated in the current PSI bulletin. Candidates who fail an examination must follow the retesting rules before attempting the same exam again.

New Mexico contractor licensing is separate from journeyman certification. A journeyman certification supports individual trade qualification, while contractor licensing is tied to business operations, contracting authority, classification requirements, bonding, insurance, and additional examination requirements. Candidates should understand whether their goal is journeyman certification, contractor licensing, or both.

This study guide and flash card combo supports the preparation stage of the process. Students can use it while completing experience, while organizing documentation, before submitting the application, after receiving exam approval, or during final review before the scheduled exam date.

State Requirements

New Mexico has statewide journeyman certification through the Construction Industries Division. Journeyman classifications include residential and commercial electrical, residential electrical wiring, electrical distribution systems, low-voltage special systems, electrical signs and outline lighting, and other specialty categories. This product is focused on New Mexico journeyman-level electrical preparation, with emphasis on the EE-98J residential and commercial electrical pathway.

For the EE-98J Journeyman Residential and Commercial Electrical classification, candidates commonly need four years, or 8,000 hours, of qualifying experience. The ER-1J residential electrical wiring classification and several specialty classifications may use different experience requirements. Students should choose the correct classification and follow the current state application instructions for their specific credential.

Students should also understand that New Mexico’s examination structure may include more than one written portion and a practical portion. The EE-98J pathway includes Code, Theory, and Practical examination components. That makes balanced preparation important. Code navigation matters, but so do electrical theory, low-voltage knowledge, alarm concepts, materials identification, conduit bending, motor control, transformer work, and other practical skills.

This combo is an exam-prep product and does not replace the New Mexico application process, state qualification review, experience documentation, exam approval, practical testing requirements, contractor licensing requirements, or certification rules. It is designed to help students prepare for the electrical knowledge portion of the journeyman process through organized study, practice exams, final exams, and flash card review.

Test Information and Study Materials

The 2026 New Mexico Journeyman Electrician Exam Prep and Study Guide + Flash Card Combo is designed to help students prepare with structure. Instead of relying on one study method, this package combines a study guide, 12 practice exams, 2 full final exams, and flash cards for repeated review.

Study guide review helps students organize the exam content into major subject areas. New Mexico journeyman candidates should prepare for NEC structure, New Mexico Electrical Code, general installation requirements, services, feeders, branch circuits, grounding and bonding, overcurrent protection, conductors, cables, raceways, boxes, lighting, signs, motors, transformers, generators, hazardous locations, special occupancies, special equipment, low voltage, alarms, and practical trade skills.

Practice exams help students become more comfortable with exam-style questions. The 12 practice exams in this combo give students repeated exposure to electrical topics and help identify weak areas. Missed questions should be reviewed carefully because each mistake can point to a knowledge gap, a calculation issue, a code-navigation problem, or a misunderstanding of the question wording.

Full final exams help students practice longer review sessions. The 2 full final exams can be used after completing topic review and several practice exams. Students should take these final exams in a focused setting, track time, review missed answers, and return to weaker topics before test day.

Flash cards support active recall. Journeyman electrician flash cards help students review definitions, calculations, electrical theory, wiring methods, conductors, materials, equipment, services, feeders, branch circuits, grounding and bonding, motors, transformers, generators, low-voltage systems, alarms, special occupancies, special equipment, and New Mexico rule concepts in a faster format.

Code navigation should be practiced for the open-book code portion. Students should become familiar with the NEC table of contents, index, article structure, definitions, tables, exceptions, informational notes, and common rule locations. New Mexico state code topics should also be reviewed because state-specific questions appear in the EE-98J code outline.

Theory review should be treated as a separate study priority. The closed-book theory exam rewards candidates who understand concepts without relying on references. Students should review electrical fundamentals, general knowledge, installation requirements, services, feeders, branch circuits, grounding and bonding, conductors, cables, raceways, boxes, low-voltage systems, and alarm concepts.

Practical preparation matters because the EE-98J pathway includes a practical examination. Candidates should review motor control, transformer work, doorbell circuits, lighting circuits, simple conduit bending, complex conduit bending, materials identification, safe tool use, accurate measurement, and clean workmanship. Written study supports knowledge, but hands-on skills should also be practiced before practical testing.
