Applications for licensing are managed by your local city or county government jurisdiction. Those agencies determine which ICC exam is appropriate for your license based on local code adoption. They also determine if pre-authorization is required.
To find the exam content areas, total questions and time allowed, you must use the ICC web page (from the button below) and search for your exam by choosing "Type: Contractor/Trades". Then enter the three digit exam code in the "Title" (example: "T16"). Click "Search" then "OUTLINE". ICC no longer publishes a PDF version of local exam titles.
We recommend that you purchase one of the reference books above to study for your exam. Each book is a comprehensive subject index to the NEC. They provide an even faster way to look up answers in the code and are far more detailed than the index at the end of the code book.
Ugly's References contain practical applications of the NEC such as Ohm‘s Law, series/parallel circuits, voltage drop, load calculations, motor phases, impediance, inductance and math formulas you are expected to know. The "Basic Knowledge" covered in the exam is assumed and sometimes not listed as a subject. This book also covers subjects listed as "Calculations and Theory".
Questions are sourced from the NEC and Ugly's Electrical References. A subject category index is included.
This package contains 1,395 sample exam questions.
