Texas Journeyman Electrician Exam Prep Online (TDLR)

Online prep for Texas has to match the exam that exists now. Since March 2025, TDLR journeyman candidates face two separately scored parts, and Calculations is where the published pass rate is lowest.

What changed in Texas

The old advice was to study for one long exam. That is not enough anymore. The current PSI bulletin splits the Texas journeyman exam into NEC Knowledge and Calculations, timed and scored separately. Passing one part does not cover a weak score on the other part.

  • NEC Knowledge: 59 questions in 130 minutes.
  • Calculations: 26 questions in 110 minutes.
  • 70% is required on each part.
  • The FY2025 Calculations pass rate was 20.56%.

What online prep has to prove

Do not judge prep by the size of the question bank alone. A Texas candidate needs to see which side is weak, how each miss happened, and what to drill next. A flat score does not tell you whether the problem is Article 250, Chapter 9, motor calculations, or slow lookup.

  • It separates NEC Knowledge from Calculations in the reporting.
  • It uses the 2023 NEC and current PSI format.
  • It shows the codebook path and the calculation setup, not only the answer letter.
  • It gives a focused next block after the diagnostic.

How JourneymanIQ handles Texas prep

JourneymanIQ starts with the free diagnostic because that is the fastest honest way to stop guessing. If the diagnostic shows Calculations are the problem, the next block goes there. If lookup speed is the problem, codebook-speed drills come first. If NEC Knowledge is weak, the article families get ranked.

  • Original questions tied to NEC articles.
  • Step-by-step codebook walkthroughs after practice misses.
  • Calculators for voltage drop, box fill, conduit fill, and dwelling load.
  • Pricing stays simple: $49 monthly or $129 for three months.

Where the facts come from

Start with the part you are actually weak on

Take the free Texas diagnostic first. It tells you whether the next block should be NEC Knowledge, Calculations, or lookup speed.
