Journeyman exam · 2026 NEC
Texas today; built for every state on the 2026 book.
Find it in the book.
Fast.
The 2026 NEC is a big book, and the journeyman exam is a race through it — in Texas, open book and against the clock. Plenty of people who know the trade fail it because the clock runs out while they are still turning pages. This trains the part that runs it out.

How it works
Three things, every night.
Not a course. A drill for the one skill the exam actually tests: getting to the right rule before the clock does.
01Finding
A job described in plain English, a five-minute clock, and you tap where the rule lives. Again and again, until the map of the book is in your hands instead of on a page.
02Working
Job tickets that make you run the calculation the way the exam asks — stopping where you must open your own book for the figure, and naming the classic mistake when you slip.
03Sitting
Fifteen cards a night that come back when you miss them, a boss at the end of each chapter, and a full mock built to the real paper’s weights, with a report that says what to do tomorrow.
The 2026 book
The rules moved. Your memory didn’t.
Texas moved to the 2026 NEC on 1 September 2026, and the exam moved with it. Whole runs of the code were renumbered between editions, so a number a study guide taught you three years ago can now be a live section about something else — the worst kind of wrong, because it looks right.
This app is built and tagged for the 2026 edition throughout. Where it points at a section, it points at where that rule lives now.

Questions
Straight answers.
Do I need my own code book?
Yes — you play with it open. The exam is open book and timed, so the skill that wins is getting to the right rule fast in the copy you’ll have on the desk. The app describes the job, you find the section, and it tells you whether you landed on the exact rule or just near it.
Is this the 2026 book?
Yes. Texas adopted the 2026 NEC effective 1 September 2026, and the licensing exams reference it. Some official pages still describe the 2023 edition — the current PSI candidate bulletin is the one to trust.
Will it work on my phone?
It’s built for one. Portrait, one thumb, buttons where your thumb already is. Add it to your home screen and it opens full-screen. Ten minutes at night, not an hour at a desk.
What does it cost?
7 days free at sign-up; $49 for 90 days after that — see Pricing.
Your exam date is coming either way
