What to Expect on the Oregon Electrician Exam
Oregon has a statewide journeyman electrician license through the Oregon Building Codes Division (BCD). The exam is administered by PSI: 52 questions, 180 minutes (3 hours), 75% passing score, open book with NEC 2023 permitted, and a $70 exam fee. With only 52 questions, Oregon's journeyman exam is one of the shortest in the country. The 75% passing requirement means you need at least 39 correct answers. With fewer questions, each wrong answer represents a larger percentage of your total score than on a longer exam. Oregon requires 8,000 hours of apprenticeship or documented on-the-job training before applying for the journeyman license. Oregon also licenses General Supervising Electricians and Electrical Contractors through the BCD. Oregon adopted NEC 2023 as its base electrical code with state-specific amendments. Portland, Salem, Eugene, Gresham, and Hillsboro are the major markets. Oregon's technology sector, semiconductor manufacturing, and residential construction market create strong demand for licensed electricians. The practice questions below are aligned to NEC 2023 and the Oregon BCD PSI exam format.
