Arizona journeyman electrician exam: frequently asked questions

Arizona trade-specific contractor exams use PSI content outlines that identify exam references, and PSI construction testing supports secure open-book testing. Candidates should follow the current reference rules for the exact Arizona ROC classification being tested.

The Arizona Registrar of Contractors has contracted with PSI to conduct its trade examination program. PSI provides computer-based testing through examination centers and other approved testing formats.

The Arizona C-11 Electrical Commercial content outline lists a 70% minimum passing score.

PSI displays the score on screen at the end of the examination and emails a score report. Failing score reports include diagnostic information by examination type.

Arizona primarily licenses electrical contractors through the Arizona Registrar of Contractors rather than issuing one single statewide individual journeyman electrician license. Electrical workers may still use journeyman-level study materials for trade competency, local requirements, employer expectations, and contractor exam preparation.

Yes. PSI examination security rules prohibit outside references and resources during the exam. Candidates should use the NEC heavily during preparation, but they should not rely on outside reference materials being available in the exam room.
