What to Expect on the Connecticut Electrician Exam
Connecticut has a statewide journeyman electrician license through the Department of Consumer Protection (DCP). The exam is administered by PSI: 80 questions, 210 minutes (3.5 hours), 75% passing score, open book with NEC 2023 permitted, and a $65 exam fee. Connecticut's 75% passing threshold is higher than the 70% required in most states. With 80 questions and a 75% requirement, you need to answer at least 60 correctly. Connecticut requires 8,000 hours of on-the-job training under a licensed journeyman or master electrician before you can apply through DCP. The exam designation is E-1 Journeyman Electrician. Connecticut also issues a Limited Journeyman license for candidates who work under a licensed contractor but do not meet all the requirements for the full journeyman credential. The NEC articles most frequently tested include Article 210 (branch circuits), Article 220 (load calculations), Article 250 (grounding and bonding), and Article 430 (motors). Hartford, Bridgeport, New Haven, and Stamford are the major markets. Connecticut's high cost of living and strong commercial construction sector support above-average electrician wages. The practice questions below are aligned to NEC 2023 and the Connecticut DCP PSI exam format.
