What to Expect on the Hawaii Electrician Exam
Hawaii has a statewide journeyman electrician license through the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (DCCA), administered by the Board of Electricians and Plumbers. The exam is administered by PSI: 70 questions, 180 minutes (3 hours), 70% passing score, open book, and a $95 exam fee. Hawaii currently tests on NEC 2020 rather than NEC 2023. Confirm the current NEC edition with the DCCA before your exam date, as Hawaii's adoption schedule may be updated. Hawaii requires 5 years and at least 10,000 hours of residential or commercial wiring experience, plus 240 hours of approved electrical academic coursework (University of Hawaii Community College program or accepted equivalent), before sitting for the exam. The board also licenses Specialty Electricians for telecommunications and fire alarm work. The most frequently tested NEC articles include Article 220 (load calculations), Article 250 (grounding), Article 310 (conductors), and Article 430 (motors). Honolulu is by far the largest market on the islands. Hawaii's construction and resort development industries create consistent demand for licensed electricians. The practice questions below cover all topics tested on the Hawaii DCCA PSI exam.

Tips for the Hawaii PSI Exam
- The Hawaii exam is open book, so tab your NEC for Articles 110, 210, 220, 230, 240, 250, 300, 310, and 430.
- You won't have time to look up every answer. Know the major numbers cold, and use the book for edge cases.
- PSI delivers the exam at its own network of PSI test centers. Arrive 30 minutes before your appointment with your ID.
- PSI questions often test the specific NEC article number, not just the concept. Knowing where a rule lives matters.
- Budget your time: spend no more than 90 seconds per question on the first pass, then return to flagged items.
