Passing the Exam
Starting March 1, 2010, all Electrical examinations will be based on the 2008 National Electrical Code (NEC). You must obtain a minimum score of 75% to pass the exam. After you pass, submit the following to the Board office:

- proof of liability insurance of at least $300,000
Re-Taking the Exam
If you fail the exam and wish to re-take it, contact the Board office to request another registration form. However, if you fail two consecutive times with a grade of less than 50% each time, you must wait one year before re-testing. See Section 4.0 of the Board’s Rules and Regulations.
