What to Expect on the Maryland Electrician Exam
Maryland has no statewide journeyman electrician license. Journeyman credentials are issued at the county level, and each of Maryland's 23 counties plus Baltimore City has its own licensing requirements. Montgomery County, Prince George's County, Anne Arundel County, and Baltimore City are the largest jurisdictions, each with separate exam formats and application processes. Most Maryland counties use PSI exams: typically 70 questions, 210 minutes (3.5 hours), 70% passing score, open book with NEC 2023 permitted, and $65 exam fees. The DC metro counties (Montgomery and Prince George's) have particularly active construction markets due to proximity to Washington, DC, and federal government expansion. Before scheduling an exam, confirm the specific requirements with the county where you intend to work. The NEC 2023 is the base code across most Maryland jurisdictions. Articles 210, 220, 250, 310, and 430 appear most frequently across Maryland county exams. The practice questions below cover all NEC 2023 topics relevant to Maryland's county-based journeyman exams.

Tips for the Maryland PSI Exam
- The Maryland 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.
