When preparing for the master electrical exam or the journey electrical exam, it helps to see the questions as they are formatted in the real exam. Now, obviously we aren't able to show you the exact question that is on the actual test, but you do get the formatting and the content as it is outlined in the exam candidate books.

2. A grounding ring shall encircle a building and consist of bare copper in a length of at least which of the following:
3. A type “S” fuse shall be which of the following:
4. The demand factor for a 10-unit multifamily dwelling is which of the following:
5. The lighting load demand factor for a hospital shall be calculated as which of the following:
6. The minimum size copper circuit wire for a 20 amp branch circuit conductor is which of the following:
7. Restricted-access, adjustable-trip circuit breakers must meet which of the following requirements:
8. Each plate electrode used for grounding shall expose which of the following:
9. The laundry area in a single-family dwelling unit must have which of the following:
10. If a feeder conductor carries the total load supplied by the service conductors with an ampacity of 50 amps, then which of the following standards must be met:
Today we are sharing 10 exam questions to get you started on your ICC or PSI exam. Some may seem very obvious and easy but don't forget, they add the wrong answer in the multiple choice in case you calculated wrong.
Make sure to time yourself when taking this mini test and see if you can answer each question in under 3 minutes. Don't forget, the real exam is time giving you an average of 3 minutes per question.
Make sure to check back next week for the answers, or if you don't want to wait that long, sign up for our newsletter and we'll send you the answers by email.
