1According to the NEC Article 100, what is the definition of 'accessible' as applied to equipment?
A.Equipment that can be reached without climbing over obstacles
B.Admitting close approach; not guarded by locked doors, elevation, or other effective means
C.Equipment located within arm's reach
D.Equipment visible from the floor level
Explanation: Per NEC Article 100, 'accessible' as applied to equipment means admitting close approach; not guarded by locked doors, elevation, or other effective means. This is distinct from 'readily accessible,' which adds the requirement that it can be reached quickly without climbing or removing obstacles.
2In Oklahoma, the Construction Industries Board (CIB) oversees electrician licensing. What is the NEC edition currently adopted by Oklahoma?
A.NEC 2017
B.NEC 2020
C.NEC 2023
D.NEC 2026
Explanation: Oklahoma has adopted the 2023 National Electrical Code through the Construction Industries Board (CIB). The CIB regulates electrical licensing and ensures that all electrical work in the state complies with the current NEC edition.
3Per NEC 210.8(A), GFCI protection is required in dwelling unit bathrooms for receptacles rated at what voltage range?
A.120-volt, 15- and 20-ampere only
B.125-volt through 250-volt
C.All voltages and amperages
D.120/240-volt circuits only
Explanation: Per NEC 210.8(A) in the 2023 edition, GFCI protection is required for 125-volt through 250-volt receptacles in dwelling unit bathrooms. The 2023 NEC expanded the GFCI voltage range beyond the previous 125-volt, 15/20-ampere limitation.
4What is the minimum size equipment grounding conductor required for a 40-ampere circuit per NEC Table 250.122?
A.14 AWG copper
B.12 AWG copper
C.10 AWG copper
D.8 AWG copper
Explanation: Per NEC Table 250.122, a 40-ampere overcurrent device requires a minimum 10 AWG copper equipment grounding conductor. The equipment grounding conductor size is based on the rating of the overcurrent device, not the conductor ampacity.
5Per NEC 250.66, what is the minimum size grounding electrode conductor for a service with 1/0 AWG copper service-entrance conductors?
A.8 AWG copper
B.6 AWG copper
C.4 AWG copper
D.2 AWG copper
Explanation: Per NEC Table 250.66, for copper service-entrance conductors sized 1 AWG or 1/0 AWG, the minimum grounding electrode conductor is 6 AWG copper. This table correlates service conductor size with the required grounding electrode conductor.
6Per NEC Table 310.16, what is the ampacity of a 2 AWG copper conductor with THWN insulation at 75°C?
A.100 amperes
B.115 amperes
C.130 amperes
D.145 amperes
Explanation: Per NEC Table 310.16, a 2 AWG copper conductor at the 75°C column has an ampacity of 115 amperes. This is an important value for sizing feeders and subpanels in residential and commercial applications.
7According to NEC 314.16(B), what is the volume allowance for each 14 AWG conductor in a box fill calculation?
A.1.75 cubic inches
B.2.00 cubic inches
C.2.25 cubic inches
D.2.50 cubic inches
Explanation: Per NEC Table 314.16(B), each 14 AWG conductor requires a volume allowance of 2.00 cubic inches in a box fill calculation. Device yokes count as two conductors, clamps as one conductor, and all EGCs together as one conductor of the largest size present.
8Per NEC 430.52, what is the maximum size non-time-delay fuse permitted for motor branch-circuit short-circuit and ground-fault protection for a standard AC motor?
A.150% of motor FLC
B.175% of motor FLC
C.250% of motor FLC
D.300% of motor FLC
Explanation: Per NEC Table 430.52, the maximum rating for a non-time-delay fuse used for motor branch-circuit short-circuit and ground-fault protection is 300% of the motor full-load current. However, the preferred maximum is 250% when that size corresponds to a standard fuse rating.
9What is the minimum height above grade for service drop conductors that pass over a residential driveway per NEC 230.24(B)?
A.10 feet
B.12 feet
C.15 feet
D.18 feet
Explanation: Per NEC 230.24(B)(1), service drop conductors must maintain a minimum clearance of 12 feet above residential driveways and commercial areas not subject to truck traffic. This ensures safe vehicle passage beneath the conductors.
10Oklahoma's climate includes severe weather. Per NEC 225.18, what is the minimum clearance for overhead branch-circuit conductors over a public street?
A.10 feet
B.12 feet
C.15 feet
D.18 feet
Explanation: Per NEC 225.18(1), overhead branch-circuit and feeder conductors must maintain a minimum clearance of 18 feet above public streets, alleys, roads, and driveways on other than residential property subject to truck traffic.

OK Electrician: Suggested Study Strategy

1Work the official PSI subject areas in weight order — Installation Requirements, Services/Feeders/Branch Circuits, Grounding and Bonding, Special Occupancies, and Lighting and Signs are 10 items each
2Do not skip Lighting and Signs: Article 600 electric signs and Article 411 low-voltage lighting carry the same weight as Article 250 grounding
3Practice dwelling and commercial load calculations from Article 220 until you can finish one in under five minutes
4Learn Oklahoma's two NEC amendments cold: the modified 210.8(F) outdoor GFCI rule and the added 422.16(B)(5) gas-furnace cord allowance
5Tab Table 310.16, Table 250.66, Table 250.122, Table 314.16(A), Table 430.250, and Chapter 9 Tables 1, 4 and 5 before test day — permanent tabs only

Frequently Asked Questions

What NEC edition does Oklahoma use for the electrician exam?

Oklahoma tests the 2023 NEC as adopted by the Oklahoma Uniform Building Code Commission effective September 14, 2024. The exam is open book, but NEC Handbooks and spiral-bound NEC copies are barred from the test center, and no loose pages, handwritten notes, or removable tabs are permitted.

How long is the Oklahoma electrician exam?

The Unlimited Electrical Journeyman examination allows 240 minutes (4 hours) for 100 scored multiple-choice items, about 2.4 minutes per item. Efficient NEC navigation is essential because load, box fill, and conduit fill items take far longer than the average.

How hard is the Oklahoma electrician exam?

Neither the Construction Industries Board nor PSI publishes a pass rate for the Oklahoma electrical examinations, so any percentage you see quoted is an estimate. The measurable difficulty is the blueprint: 100 items across 13 subject areas in 240 minutes at a 70% cut score, weighted toward installation requirements, grounding, services/feeders/branch circuits, special occupancies, and lighting and signs.

What does the Oklahoma electrician exam cost?

PSI charges $92 per examination portion, first attempt or retake, and the fee is not refundable or transferable. Budget separately for a bound 2023 NEC. You must apply through the CIB and be approved before scheduling with PSI.
