What to Expect on the Nevada Electrician Exam
Nevada does not issue a statewide journeyman electrician license. The Nevada State Contractors Board (NSCB) licenses Electrical Contractors only. The primary classification is C-2 (Electrical). The C-2 exam is administered by PSI: 80 questions, 240 minutes (4 hours), 70% passing score, open book with NEC 2023 permitted, and a $68 exam fee. Because Nevada licenses contractors rather than journeymen at the state level, electricians in Nevada typically work under a licensed contractor before obtaining their own contractor license. The NSCB application process requires documentation of trade experience, financial statements, and proof of liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage. Las Vegas and Reno are the two dominant markets. Las Vegas's hospitality, gaming, entertainment, and data center construction sectors generate enormous electrical work. Nevada's construction market has significant seasonal peaks aligned with commercial and resort development cycles. The NEC 2023 is the base electrical code statewide. Articles 210, 220, 250, 310, and 430 are most frequently tested. The practice questions below cover all NEC 2023 topics on the Nevada NSCB PSI exam.
