Alabama's passing score is 75% - higher than most states' 70%. Ten unscored experimental questions are mixed in, so treat every question as real.
Open book per the current Prov bulletin (NFPA 70 2023 + American Electrician's Handbook listed as references). The exam is written knowing you have the code - the skill being tested is finding the right section fast and applying it under the clock. That's trainable, and timed practice in the real format is how you train it.
Exam details change. Always confirm the current format, references, and code edition with the official candidate bulletin before test day.
