Exam Details

The Oklahoma Residential Electrical Contractor examination is administered through PSI after the Oklahoma Construction Industries Board determines that an applicant satisfies the applicable qualifications and is eligible to proceed with testing.

The technical examination evaluates knowledge related to residential electrical contracting, including electrical theory, installation requirements, services, feeders, branch circuits, overcurrent protection, grounding and bonding, conductors, cables, raceways, boxes, special equipment, lighting, communications, and jobsite safety.

General Electrical Knowledge is an important study area because it supports many of the more specific code subjects on the exam. Candidates should review voltage, current, resistance, electrical power, series and parallel circuits, AC theory, troubleshooting, testing, NEC definitions, and the relationship between electrical principles and practical residential installations.

Services, feeders, and branch circuits deserve focused preparation. Candidates should become familiar with residential service equipment, feeder requirements, branch-circuit rules, conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, voltage drop, and circuits serving common residential loads.

Grounding and bonding are also central areas of residential electrical work. Candidates should understand grounding electrode systems, grounding electrode conductors, equipment grounding conductors, bonding requirements, and the purpose of these systems in protecting people and equipment.

Conductors, cables, raceways, and boxes require familiarity with the applicable National Electrical Code articles and tables. Study should include conductor ampacity, insulation types, raceway fill, box fill, permitted wiring methods, installation requirements, and common residential applications.

Contractor candidates also prepare for Oklahoma Electrical Business and Law. This material covers subjects such as bidding and estimating, project management, contracts, financial management, labor and personnel, risk management, workers’ compensation, liens, payroll, and Oklahoma electrical licensing requirements.

Open Book Test

The Oklahoma Residential Electrical Contractor technical examination is an open-book test. Candidates should prepare by working directly with the approved references throughout their study period so the organization of the books becomes familiar before examination day.

The technical reference list includes the National Electrical Code, NEC, 2023; Code of Federal Regulations - 29 CFR Part 1926 (OSHA); and Ugly's Electrical References.

The 2023 NEC is the principal technical code reference for preparation. Candidates should become comfortable using the index, definitions, article structure, tables, notes, exceptions, and cross-references. Important study areas include residential services, feeders, branch circuits, grounding and bonding, conductors, overcurrent protection, raceways, boxes, equipment, and special installations.

Ugly's Electrical References supports study of formulas, calculations, electrical terminology, conversions, conductor information, and commonly used electrical reference material. Candidates can use it alongside the NEC to reinforce calculation skills and electrical fundamentals.

Code of Federal Regulations - 29 CFR Part 1926 (OSHA) supports construction-safety preparation. Candidates should become familiar with jobsite safety subjects such as personal protective equipment, ladders, scaffolds, fall protection, excavation, tools, equipment, workplace illumination, and material handling.

Approved reference materials may be highlighted, underlined, and indexed before testing. Permanent tabs are permitted. Candidates should use their highlighted and tabbed books regularly so they become familiar with the locations of important sections, formulas, tables, and definitions.

Open-book preparation should also include timed navigation practice. Read a question, identify the subject, select the correct reference, locate the applicable article or table, interpret the requirement, and determine the answer without spending unnecessary time searching unrelated material.

Oklahoma Residential Electrical Contractors are limited to contracting for wiring buildings defined by the National Electrical Code as one- and two-family dwellings.

Residential Electrical Contractor applicants must document 4,000 hours as a Residential or Unlimited Journeyman Electrician while employed by and under the supervision of an Electrical Contractor.

Applicants must also document 3,000 hours as a registered apprentice. Up to 1,000 additional hours may be satisfied through qualifying formal electrical education. Formal electrical education used toward eligibility must consist of actual classroom hours that can be verified through appropriate educational documentation.

All Oklahoma Electrical Contractors must be an Owner, Partner, or Officer in the electrical firm. This requirement connects the contractor license with responsibility for the licensed business.

Candidates should maintain organized records of apprenticeship, education, employment, and journeyman experience used to establish eligibility. Accurate documentation is important when completing the contractor licensing application.
