Open Book Test

The Vanderburgh County NASCLA Electrical Contractor examination is an open book test. Candidates may use authorized reference materials during the examination, subject to Prov's examination-day reference rules.

Open book testing makes reference navigation an important part of preparation. Candidates need to recognize the subject being tested, identify which reference contains the relevant information, locate the correct section, and apply it within the time available. Simply owning the books does not replace the need to practice using them.

Prov specifically permits candidates to prepare authorized reference materials by highlighting text, underlining in pen, and attaching permanent tabs. Handwritten notes are not permitted in reference books, movable tabs are not allowed, and Post-it notes cannot be used. Candidates also may not add photocopied documents to their references or bring unauthorized test-preparation study guides into the testing room.

The rental books included with this Ultimate package are highlighted and tabbed, helping you begin your study program with an organized reference set that supports the navigation skills required for an open-book electrical examination.

Licensing Steps

The NASCLA examination is an examination requirement and does not by itself issue a Vanderburgh County Master Electrician license. Candidates must follow the licensing procedures established for Vanderburgh County.

1. Begin with Vanderburgh County registration. Candidates must first register with the appropriate Vanderburgh County licensing authority before scheduling the examination.
2. Receive testing eligibility. Candidate information is provided to Prov after the licensing authority has approved the candidate to move forward with testing.
3. Schedule the NASCLA examination. Once eligible, schedule the NASCLA Electrical Contractor (Master Electrician/Unlimited Electrician) examination through Prov.
4. Prepare your authorized references. Study the subject areas identified in the examination bulletin and practice navigating the reference materials used for the exam.
5. Take the examination in Evansville. Vanderburgh County candidates taking this examination must test at the designated Evansville, Indiana testing facility.
6. Achieve the required passing score. Contractor examinations use a 70% passing score.
7. Complete the county licensing process. After meeting the examination requirement, complete any remaining application and licensing requirements established by Vanderburgh County before performing work requiring a license.

If a candidate does not pass, the current Vanderburgh County testing bulletin requires the candidate to return to the licensing authority to request new eligibility before retesting. Each eligibility is valid for one examination attempt.

State Requirements

Electrical contractor licensing in Indiana can involve local jurisdiction requirements rather than a single statewide master electrician licensing process for every locality. For this product, the relevant jurisdiction is Vanderburgh County, and candidates must follow the procedures established for the county's electrical licensing program.

NASCLA lists Vanderburgh County, Indiana as a participating agency that accepts the Electrical Contractor/Master Electrician examination. NASCLA also identifies Vanderburgh County as accepting the NASCLA Journeyman Electrician examination.

For Vanderburgh County, candidates schedule the applicable NASCLA examination through Prov. NASCLA states that Vanderburgh County does not currently accept NASCLA transcripts as an alternative method of satisfying this requirement. Candidates must take the examination in Evansville, Indiana.

Passing a NASCLA Accredited Examination should not be confused with receiving a national electrical license. NASCLA examinations are trade examinations used by participating licensing agencies. Vanderburgh County retains authority over its licensing process and any additional requirements that apply before a license is issued.

Test Information and Study Materials

A strong preparation plan should reflect the actual weighting of the examination. General Code Requirements, Wiring and Protection, and Wiring Methods and Materials account for a substantial portion of the scored subject areas, so regular work with the NEC should be a major part of your study schedule.

Electrical Theory and Principles should also receive focused attention. Instead of relying only on memorized formulas, work on understanding why formulas are used, what electrical quantities represent, and how theory applies to practical electrical situations. A strong theory foundation can make calculations and code applications easier to interpret.

Safety preparation should include recognizing both jobsite hazards and electrical workplace safety practices. The OSHA and NFPA 70E materials in this package support preparation for safety-related examination content.

Project Design and Management is another tested area. Candidates should be comfortable moving between technical electrical references and project-management material instead of treating the examination as an NEC-only test.

Reference navigation should be practiced throughout the preparation process. When answering a study question, identify the likely reference before searching for the answer. Practice locating chapters, articles, tables, indexes, and major subject areas. Repetition can help reduce the amount of time spent searching during the actual examination.

Because the exam is timed at 4.5 hours for 110 questions, candidates should also practice maintaining a steady pace. Some questions may be answered quickly from knowledge, while others require calculations or reference searches. Building familiarity with your highlighted and tabbed materials can help you develop a more efficient approach to those searches.
