What to Expect on the Idaho Electrician Exam
Idaho has a statewide journeyman electrician license through the Idaho Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses (DOPL, dopl.idaho.gov). Idaho uses the NASCLA electrical examination, administered through PSI and open book; confirm the current question count and passing score in the NASCLA/PSI Idaho candidate bulletin. Journeyman eligibility requires 8,000 hours of experience plus 4 years of approved schooling, or 16,000 hours of experience; master applicants need 4 years as an active journeyman plus the NASCLA exam. Idaho also licenses Electrical Contractors and requires a separate contractor exam. The exam covers all major NEC 2023 topics with particular emphasis on Articles 210 (branch circuits), 220 (load calculations), 250 (grounding), 310 (conductors), and 430 (motors). Boise, Nampa, Meridian, and Idaho Falls are the largest markets in the state. Idaho's rapidly growing Treasure Valley region has driven significant residential and commercial construction, creating strong demand for licensed electricians. The practice questions below are aligned to NEC 2023 and the Idaho NASCLA exam administered through PSI.

Tips for the Idaho PSI Exam
- The Idaho 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.
