What to Expect on the Maine Electrician Exam
Maine has a statewide journeyman electrician license through the Electricians' Examining Board, which operates under the Department of Professional and Financial Regulation. The exam is administered by Prometric: 80 questions, 180 minutes (3 hours), 70% passing score, and a $50 exam fee. Maine uses a limited open book format: only the NEC codebook is permitted. No other reference materials, notes, or code-based books are allowed in the testing room. This is more restrictive than many states that allow annotated tabs or supplemental reference sheets. Maine requires 8,000 hours of on-the-job training under a licensed master electrician, along with a supervised training log verified by the master electrician. The board also issues Limited Electrician licenses for specific limited-scope electrical work. The exam covers all major NEC 2023 topics including Articles 210, 220, 250, 310, and 430. Portland, Lewiston-Auburn, Bangor, and Augusta are the largest markets in the state. Maine's seasonal construction and energy sector create steady demand for licensed electricians. The practice questions below are aligned to NEC 2023 and the Maine Prometric exam format.
