Open Book Test

The Wyoming Low-voltage Sound Technician (236) exam is an open book test. Open-book testing rewards candidates who can quickly locate code sections, confirm requirements, and avoid getting stuck “hunting” for answers under time pressure.

That’s why your prep should include:

• Getting comfortable with NEC layout (Articles, Parts, Tables, and Informational Notes)
• Practicing common look-ups (definitions, wiring methods, grounding, and circuit classifications)
• Building speed with indexing and cross-references so you can verify answers efficiently

Licensing Steps

Wyoming’s licensing process begins before you schedule the ICC exam. In general terms, the process follows this flow:

1. Apply with the State: Submit your license application to the Wyoming Department of Fire Prevention and Electrical Safety (Electrical Licensing).
2. Receive Approval to Test: After the licensing agency approves your application, your eligibility is processed for testing.
3. Schedule Your Exam: Once approved, schedule your computer-based exam through Pearson VUE.
4. Take the Exam: Arrive prepared with your approved references and a plan for time management.
5. Complete Any Remaining State Requirements: After passing, follow the licensing agency’s remaining steps to finalize your credential.

This package’s Application Service is included to help you stay organized and reduce friction during the licensing process.

State Requirements

Wyoming’s electrical safety program adopts the 2023 edition of the National Electrical Code (NEC) as the applicable electrical code (effective July 1, 2023). That matters because your exam references and study practice should align with the same edition you’ll be tested against.

If you’re building a study plan, prioritize NEC navigation and code interpretation skills that match the 2023 layout, numbering, and tables you’ll use during the exam.

Reference Books

• Included Book: National Electrical Code, NEC, 2023
  The primary code reference used for locating requirements related to wiring methods, circuit classifications, installation rules, and definitions that show up across the 236_WY content areas.
• Included Book: Ugly’s Electrical References
  A compact field-style reference that supports fast lookups for electrical formulas, common tables, conversions, and practical reference data often used to double-check calculations and concepts.

Please allow up to 15 business days for Ultimate book package orders. Plan your study schedule accordingly so you have your materials in hand before scheduling your exam date.

Test Information and Study Materials

Because the 236_WY exam is short (30 questions) with a firm time limit (1 hour 30 minutes), your results often come down to two things:

• How accurately you understand the concepts (sound systems, grounding, circuits, and equipment protection)
• How quickly you can confirm answers in the NEC and supporting reference (without losing time flipping through sections)

To study effectively for the published content outline, focus your review around the exam’s weighted areas:

• General Sound Systems (30%)
  Study common sound system installation considerations, signal routing basics, and the practical code-related requirements that show up in low-voltage sound work.
• Grounding (17%)
  Practice locating grounding and bonding rules in the NEC and applying them to real installation scenarios. Make sure you can quickly find the correct Article/Section when you see grounding terminology in a question.
• Permanent and Portable Audio Systems (13%)
  Review how requirements can vary based on the type of system and installation environment. Work on identifying what the question is asking before jumping to an answer choice.
• Sensitive Electronic Equipment (17%)
  Pay attention to protection concepts that matter for low-voltage and electronic equipment, and practice reading questions carefully for the details that change the correct code reference.
• Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 Circuits (23%)
  This is a high-value area. Build confidence identifying circuit classifications, understanding how they’re treated under code, and finding the correct NEC requirements efficiently.

Tip for open-book success: Don’t try to look up everything. Train yourself to recognize the “easy wins” you can answer immediately, and save deeper lookups for questions where confirming the code language is the difference between two close answer choices.
