At 60 questions in 3 hours, Arkansas is one of the shorter journeyman exams - which means each question carries more weight. There is no law domain: it's all NEC.
Open book: the current Prov bulletin lists the 2023 NEC as the sole reference. Offered in English and Spanish. 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.
