What to Expect on the Michigan Electrician Exam
Michigan has a statewide journeyman electrician license through the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA). The exam is administered by PSI: 80 questions, 150 minutes (2.5 hours), 75% passing score, open book with NEC 2023 permitted, and a $100 exam fee. Michigan's 75% passing threshold is higher than most states, which typically require 70%. That extra 5% means you need to get 60 out of 80 questions correct. Michigan requires 8,000 hours of documented on-the-job training under a licensed master electrician before you can sit for the journeyman exam. The journeyman license covers general electrical work statewide. Michigan also has separate licenses for residential electricians and electrical contractors through LARA. The PSI exam draws from all major NEC 2023 articles, with Article 220 (load calculations), Article 250 (grounding and bonding), Article 310 (conductors), and Article 430 (motors) appearing most frequently. Michigan electricians earn an average of $63,600 per year. Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Lansing are the largest markets in the state. The practice questions below are fully aligned to NEC 2023 and the Michigan LARA PSI exam format.

- The Michigan 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.
