Maryland Journeyperson Electrician Practice Test 2026
A useful practice test does not just count right answers. It shows whether you can pick the right 2020 NEC article, set up the calculation, and find the rule the way PSI puts it in front of you under the clock. Maryland is open book, so the skill the test rewards is navigation, not memory.

What a Maryland practice test has to rehearse
The journeyperson exam is 70 questions in 3 hours 30 minutes, open book on the 2020 NEC, and you need 70% to pass. Because it is open book, a practice test that only quizzes trivia misses the point. The skill the test rewards is landing on the right rule fast. A good test covers three things.
- Rule selection: grounding and bonding, box and conduit fill, voltage drop, and motor and feeder sizing, each tied to the 2020 NEC article.
- Maryland law and rule: Title 6 and COMAR 09.09.01 are woven into the single exam, not a separate section, so the questions should reflect where state code overrides the NEC.
- Code navigation: landing on the right article fast, the skill an open-book exam rewards under a tight clock.
The practice-test trap
Most guys search for a giant bank of questions. That sounds right. The better move is a diagnostic first. If your grounding is solid but your motor calculations are bleeding points, 200 more random questions waste your nights. You need the weak articles first.
