Texas Master Plumber Exam exam requirements & cost
Straight from the certifying body — separate from what we charge for the study portal.
The Texas master plumber examination includes 210 multiple-choice questions: 60 on plumbing codes and 25 each on water heater installation, OSHA construction safety, Texas Accessibility Standards, LP gas piping, plumbing math and license law and board rules (TSBPE review course). It also includes sizing charts and a drainage and vent design; the testing time is 360 minutes plus a 30-minute break. This portal practices the 210 multiple-choice questions; it does not grade the sizing charts or the design. You need 70 percent to pass, reported as a percent score. The mock exam here covers only the multiple-choice sections, so it is a study tool rather than a prediction.
