Wyoming Low Voltage Television Technician (ICC - 237_WY) Exam Book Package

If you’re preparing for the Wyoming Low Voltage Television Technician exam (ICC 237_WY), the fastest way to feel ready is to study the way you’ll test: with your references open, your code-navigation skills sharp, and your pacing under control. This Exam Book Package includes the two core references you listed—National Electrical Code (NEC), 2023 and Ugly’s Electrical References—so you can practice the same workflow that open-book ICC Contractor/Trades exams are designed to measure.

Low-voltage television work often involves more than “making it work.” The exam is focused on safe, code-aligned installation: cable routing and protection, outside wiring and building entry details, bonding and grounding concepts, and the rules that protect people and equipment. Many questions are scenario-based, meaning you’ll be asked to interpret conditions (outside vs. inside, entering a building, grounding/bonding needs, conductor/cable considerations) and apply the correct code requirement.

The NEC is the authority for those rules. Ugly’s Electrical References supports you when questions involve calculations, conversions, or quick electrical reference checks. Together, they help you build a steady, professional approach: identify the topic, find the relevant code section efficiently, confirm exceptions or conditions, and select the best answer confidently.

This package is a practical fit for candidates who want to spend their study time wisely—working with the same books, building familiarity with how the NEC is organized, and reducing the time it takes to locate the right article, section, or definition when the clock is running.

What You Get

• National Electrical Code, NEC, 2023 — the primary reference used for code-based questions related to low-voltage television systems, wiring rules, installation requirements, grounding and bonding concepts, and protection standards.
• Ugly’s Electrical References — a compact, field-friendly reference for electrical formulas, conversions, conductor and conduit information, and fast calculation support during study and review.

Exam Details

The ICC 237_WY Wyoming Low-voltage Television Technician exam is structured as an open-book, multiple-choice test designed to measure both knowledge and reference navigation. The published Wyoming electrical Contractor/Trades exam information lists the following exam format:

• Exam: 237 Wyoming Low-voltage Television Technician (ICC 237_WY)
• Questions: 30 multiple-choice questions
• Time Limit: 1 hour 30 minutes
• Delivery: Pearson VUE testing
• Exam Fee: $115

The same published exam information also lists the major content areas and their weighting. This is important because it shows where your study time pays off. For the 237_WY exam, the content areas are:

• General Cable TV Systems — 13%
• TV Antennas, Transmitters, and Receivers — 17%
• TV and Antenna System Protection and Grounding and Bonding — 27%
• Cables and Conductors Outside and Entering Buildings — 23%
• Cables and Conductors Within Buildings — 20%

That weighting gives you a clear study strategy: prioritize protection/grounding/bonding and outside/entering-building rules first, then build speed on inside wiring rules and equipment/system topics. Because the exam is only 30 questions, every question matters, and efficient lookups can make the difference between rushing and staying in control.

Open Book Test

This exam is open book. Open-book testing rewards candidates who are highly familiar with their references and can find answers efficiently. You won’t have time to slowly browse for every answer, so your goal is to reduce search time and increase accuracy through repeated practice.

How to prepare for an open-book NEC-based exam:

• Practice “finding,” not just reading. Build the habit of using the NEC index, headings, and article structure to reach the correct topic quickly.
• Train your eye for conditions. Exam questions often hinge on a detail like “outside,” “entering a building,” “within a building,” or protection requirements tied to environment and installation location.
• Always check exceptions and notes. Many incorrect answers look right until you notice an exception, a definition, or a special condition that changes the rule.
• Use a steady pacing method. Confirm the code requirement, pick the best answer, and move on. Over-searching can drain your time fast.

Ugly’s Electrical References fits well into open-book preparation because it supports quick electrical math and reference checks without derailing your momentum. When a question needs calculation support or a fast conversion, Ugly’s can help you stay efficient while you keep the NEC as your primary authority for code rules.

Licensing Steps

Wyoming’s Contractor/Trades testing process begins with the licensing agency. Before you schedule your exam, you must submit a license application with the Wyoming Department of Fire Prevention and Electrical Safety (Electrical Licensing). If your application is satisfactory, the testing program is notified of your eligibility, and then you may register and schedule your examination through Pearson VUE.

A practical way to stay organized is to handle licensing and studying in parallel:

• Administrative track: submit your application early, watch for approval, and schedule once your eligibility is active.
• Study track: start building reference speed immediately—especially on the highest-weight topics—so your test date feels like a deadline you’re ready for, not a rush you’re trying to survive.

The published bulletin also explains that a waiting period applies before retesting if you fail an exam, so it’s in your best interest to go in prepared with strong code-navigation habits and a realistic, repeatable study routine.

State Requirements

Wyoming electrical licensing is handled through the Wyoming Department of Fire Prevention and Electrical Safety. The Contractor/Trades exam program provides an independent assessment, and your results may be used by the jurisdiction as part of its licensing process. Because employment and licensing requirements can vary by credential and jurisdiction, it’s important to confirm the exact exam required for the work you intend to perform.

For candidates preparing for the ICC 237_WY classification, the best outcomes come from aligning your study time to the published exam outline and focusing on code-based accuracy. When you train to find and apply the correct NEC rule under time pressure, you build confidence not only for the exam, but also for safer, more consistent jobsite decisions.

Reference Books

• National Electrical Code, NEC, 2023
  Your primary code reference for low-voltage television installation requirements, cable and conductor rules, and protection/grounding/bonding concepts. Study success comes from learning how the NEC is organized and practicing fast lookups using the index, headings, and article structure.
• Ugly’s Electrical References
  A practical companion designed for quick electrical reference checks—ideal for formulas, conversions, and calculation support that can come up during prep and review. Use it to stay efficient when math or quick verification is part of your workflow.

Test Information and Study Materials

The 237_WY content outline is your best study roadmap. Instead of trying to “study everything,” build a plan that mirrors the percentages and trains you to solve questions the way the exam expects: identify the scenario, locate the relevant NEC topic quickly, confirm the rule (including exceptions/conditions), and choose the best answer.

Use the content weighting to guide your study time:

• TV and Antenna System Protection and Grounding and Bonding (27%)
  This is the highest-weight area, so it deserves early and consistent study time. Focus on building confidence with bonding and grounding language, recognizing when protection requirements apply, and quickly finding the NEC sections that address these concepts. Many candidates lose points here by relying on “field habit” answers instead of confirming the requirement in the code.
• Cables and Conductors Outside and Entering Buildings (23%)
  Outside wiring and building entry questions are heavily driven by conditions and location language. Practice reading carefully and training yourself to jump to the right code area based on where the cable is installed, how it enters a structure, and what protections are required for the environment.
• Cables and Conductors Within Buildings (20%)
  Inside wiring questions often test how cables are routed, supported, and protected. These can become quick points when you’re comfortable identifying the correct NEC topic family and confirming the exact rule that applies to the installation scenario.
• TV Antennas, Transmitters, and Receivers (17%)
  Study this area with a “systems and equipment” mindset: identify what the equipment is, what the question is asking (installation rule vs. protection requirement), and then locate the appropriate code support. Many questions become easier when you label the system type first.
• General Cable TV Systems (13%)
  Use this section to sharpen general understanding and improve your ability to interpret questions quickly. The more confident you are with terminology and system basics, the faster you’ll recognize where to look in the NEC.

A realistic open-book study method using your two books:

• Step 1: Identify the “clue words.” Location clues (outside, entering, within buildings), protection clues (bonding, grounding), and system clues (cable TV/antenna-related wording) usually point you to the right topic quickly.
• Step 2: Use the NEC index to land in the right neighborhood. Don’t flip randomly. The index narrows your search fast, then headings and section numbering help you confirm you’re in the right place.
• Step 3: Read for conditions and exceptions. Many wrong answers are built from applying a general rule when a condition or exception changes what is required.
• Step 4: Use Ugly’s to keep your pace strong. If a question requires a quick calculation, conversion, or electrical reference check, Ugly’s helps you confirm the math and move on without losing time.

Recommended weekly rhythm (simple and effective):

• 3 sessions focused on navigation drills: pick a set of likely topics (especially the highest-weight areas) and practice finding each one quickly.
• 2 sessions focused on accuracy: slow down, read code language carefully, and train yourself to check exceptions and notes.
• 1–2 timed mixed-review sessions: short practice sets where you commit to answers after verifying the code requirement, building calm pacing and decision confidence.

When you train this way, your references start to feel familiar. You’ll know how to get to the right area quickly, and you’ll be less likely to second-guess yourself or burn time chasing the wrong section.
