The NEC side uses the 2020 NEC. The law side uses RCW 19.28 and WAC 296-46B. You need 70% on each section, so a combined score can hide the real risk. JourneymanIQ uses a diagnostic first, then sends simulator practice toward the weak section. If law is the problem, you drill law. If the NEC side is the problem, you drill lookup, calculations, and article families.","officialFacts":[{"label":"Exam","value":"Washington General Journey Level Electrician (01) exam"},{"label":"Authority","value":"Washington State Department of Labor & Industries (L&I)"},{"label":"Vendor","value":"Delivered by PSI Services"},{"label":"NEC edition","value":"2020 NEC (exam edition)"},{"label":"Open book","value":"Open book — bring your own, including Q&A reference books"},{"label":"Passing score","value":"70% on each of two sections, scored separately"},{"label":"Format","value":"77 questions: NEC & Theory (60) + Washington Laws & Rules (17)"}],"officialSources":[{"label":"L&I Electrical Examination Information","url":"https://www.lni.wa.gov/licensing-permits/electrical/electrical-licensing-exams-education/electrical-examination"},{"label":"L&I Electrician Licensing & Requirements","url":"https://www.lni.wa.gov/licensing-permits/electrical/electrical-licensing-exams-education/electrician"},{"label":"WAC 296-46B (Washington electrical code adoption)","url":"https://app.leg.wa.gov/wac/default.aspx?cite=296-46B-010"}],"whyRelevant":["170+ exam questions","Study guides","4 working calculators","30-day daily roadmap","Exam Readiness Score","Spaced repetition","Mobile + desktop access","Cancel anytime"],"internalLinks":[{"label":"Full guide","url":"https://journeymaniq.com/states/washington/exam-simulator"},{"label":"Start the diagnostic","url":"https://journeymaniq.com/states/washington/diagnostic"},{"label":"See pricing","url":"https://journeymaniq.com/pricing?state=WA"},{"label":"Washington requirements","url":"https://journeymaniq.com/states/washington/requirements"},{"label":"Practice test","url":"https://journeymaniq.com/states/washington/practice-test"},{"label":"Exam simulator","url":"https://journeymaniq.com/states/washington/exam-simulator"},{"label":"Free diagnostic","url":"https://journeymaniq.com/states/washington/diagnostic"},{"label":"best Washington electrician exam prep","url":"https://journeymaniq.com/compare/best-washington-electrician-exam-prep"},{"label":"Washington 01 electrician practice test","url":"https://journeymaniq.com/states/washington/practice-test"},{"label":"Washington electrician exam codebook speed","url":"https://journeymaniq.com/states/washington/codebook-speed"}],"faqs":[{"q":"Should a Washington simulator separate the sections?","a":"Yes.
