Georgia Electrician Practice Test

What to Expect on the Georgia Electrician Exam

Georgia licenses Electrical Contractors rather than journeyman electricians at the state level. There are two statewide classifications (Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. 121-3-.01): Class I (Restricted), limited to single-phase electrical installations that do not exceed 200 amperes at the service drop or service lateral, and Class II (Non-Restricted), the unrestricted license covering all electrical work: residential, commercial, and industrial. Both exams are administered by PSI and are open book with the NEC permitted. Each exam runs in two parts over 8 total hours with a 70% passing score required on each part. The Class II exam has 140 scored questions (30 regulations plus 110 technical) plus 22 unscored pretest questions; the Class I exam has 125 scored questions (15 regulations plus 110 technical) plus 15 pretest questions. Confirm current question counts in the PSI candidate information bulletin before scheduling. The Georgia State Construction Industry Licensing Board (GSCILB) through the Secretary of State's office oversees licensing. The PSI exam fee is $30, but the GSCILB application fee is separate. Georgia's two-part exam format, with 8 total hours, is longer than most other state exams. Candidates who are unfamiliar with the two-part structure often underestimate the endurance required. The NEC articles most frequently tested on the Georgia exam include 220 (load calculations), 230 (services), 250 (grounding), 430 (motors), and 310 (conductors). Georgia electricians earn an average of $53,000 per year, with Atlanta metro wages significantly higher. The practice questions below cover all NEC 2023 topics on the Georgia PSI exam.
