Most online prep looks the same from the outside. The difference is whether it trains the exam you are actually taking. Here is how to judge Michigan electrician prep online before you put money down.

How to judge Michigan prep online before you pay
There is a lot of generic electrician prep out there. Most of it was built for some other state, some other code edition, or a master exam that is not what you are sitting for. Run any platform through these three checks before you hand over a card number.
1. It has to train the LARA journeyman exam
Michigan licenses journeyman, master, and electrical contractor on separate exams. The journeyman exam is its own animal. If the prep cannot tell you it targets the LARA journeyman exam specifically, and not a master or contractor blend, it is the wrong tool. The master exam carries more theory and supervision rules you do not need yet.
2. It has to be on the 2023 NEC
Michigan adopted the 2023 NEC for Part 8 effective March 12, 2024, and LARA confirms exams are currently based on that edition. Plenty of older banks still reference the 2017 code. Article numbers and a few rules moved between editions, so prep on the wrong edition trains the wrong lookup. Check the year before you buy.
3. It has to train lookup speed and calculations
The journeyman exam is open book. That means it is not testing whether you memorized the code. It is testing whether you can find the rule fast and run the calculation clean under a timer. Trivia banks miss that entirely. The skills that actually decide the score are:
- Calculations: box fill, conduit fill, voltage drop, motor and feeder sizing, dwelling load.
- Grounding and bonding: Article 250 is dense and heavily tested.
- Code navigation: landing on the right article fast in your own tabbed 2023 NEC, the skill open book rewards.
