Electrician Exam Pass Rates by State (2026)
No states in our dataset publish an official Electrician first-attempt pass rate — every state is marked "not published".
Installs and repairs electrical systems. Journeyman licenses are issued by state or municipal boards; most require an apprenticeship and a state exam. Rows without a figure are marked “not published” — we do not estimate rates that states have not released.

Frequently asked questions
Which states have the highest Electrician exam pass rate?
No states publish an official Electrician first-attempt pass rate in the dataset we retrieved on 2026-08-20.
Why is the Electrician pass rate "not published" for my state?
Most states do not release first-attempt exam pass rates. When a state publishes the figure, we show it with the source; otherwise the row is marked "not published" and you should ask the state board directly.
How hard is the Electrician exam overall?
Pass rates vary widely by state and are not consistently published. Focus on the highest-weighted content areas of your state's exam.
Does a low pass rate mean I will fail?
No. Published pass rates are first-attempt averages across all candidates, including those who take the exam without structured prep. Candidates who complete a study plan and practice questions pass at far higher rates than the aggregate figure suggests.
Compare Electrician data
Pass-rate figures are as published by state boards and commissions (retrieved 2026-08-20). “Not published” means the state has not released an official first-attempt figure — not that the rate is unknown to the board. Verify with your state board before making decisions.
