Utah master electrician exam: format, NEC edition and fee
Utah licenses master electricians through the Division of Professional Licensing (DOPL), and Prov runs the exams.

Utah sets its own rules and can change them, so confirm with DOPL and the bulletin before you book.

How our practice exam fits
Our master practice exam is written to the 2023 NEC, the edition Utah tests, and covers the NEC and calculation part of Utah's exam, about a third of it. It does not cover Utah's statutes, rules, NEC amendments, NFPA 70E or workplace safety questions, which make up most of the exam, or the practical. Study those from DOPL's reference list.
