Virginia Electrical Exam Prep

• Journeyman: 70 questions, 210 minutes, 49 correct to pass. Journeymen install, repair, and maintain electrical systems. A common eligibility path is 240 hours of formal training plus four years of experience; DPOR accepts other education-and-experience combinations.
• Master: 90 questions, 270 minutes, 63 correct to pass, with greater emphasis on calculations and design. Masters can plan and lay out installations, supervise electrical work, and may serve as the qualified individual for an electrical contractor business. Applicants generally need one year as a licensed journeyman or nine years of practical experience.
• Permits and project size: Journeyman and Master credentials do not set project-dollar limits. Those limits come from the business’s separate contractor license: Class C is under $30,000 per project and under $250,000 per year; Class B is under $150,000 per project and under $1 million per year; Class A is unlimited. Confirm eligibility and local permit requirements with Virginia DPOR before ordering or scheduling.

JCR trains the NEC and electrical-trade sections—60 of 70 Journeyman questions and 80 of 90 Master questions (about 86%–89%)—plus calculations, Code navigation, timing, and exam organization. Virginia also tests state licensing statutes and regulations: 10 questions on each exam. Most successful students study between 4-8 weeks. Study the official Virginia rules and confirm the current PSI bulletin and approved references.
