NC Electrical Contractor Exam (Unlimited) exam requirements & cost
Straight from the certifying body — separate from what we charge for the study portal.
The NCBEEC examinations page lists the Unlimited classification exam at 100 multiple-choice questions in six hours, with a minimum grade of 70 required to pass. The exam is open book: the Board allows you to refer to any part of your NEC book, NFPA book and NASCLA Business book during the exam. The portal mock is a closed-book practice set, so look up reference answers in your own code book when you study. The NCBEEC/PSI Examination Information Handbook (July 2026) lists eleven content areas: Bonding and Grounding 11 percent, Overcurrent Protection 9, Wiring Methods and Terminations 10, Boxes and Fittings 7, Service Entrance and Equipment 9, Motors and Control Wiring 9, Special Occupancies and Hazardous Locations 9, Load Calculations 11, Appliances, Equipment, and Lighting 7, General 3 and Laws, Rules, Basic Business Practices, and Practical Applications 15. The NCBEEC requires a minimum grade of 70 to pass. The portal mock uses 70 percent as the pass line, but remember that the real exam lets you use your code books. The NCBEEC examinations page lists a $125 examination fee, sent with the completed application; a failed exam can be reviewed once for a $25 fee. The content outline spreads questions across 11 areas; the largest are Laws, Rules, Basic Business Practices, and Practical Applications (15.0%); Bonding and Grounding (11.0%); Load Calculations (11.0%). The full list of areas and weights is on the portal exam page. You apply to the Board and need Board approval before you can schedule; experience requirements depend on the license classification, so confirm them with the NCBEEC.
