Calculations come from the same engine as the calculation pages: each problem is generated with new numbers, checked against 2026 NEC values and comes with a worked solution. Code questions ask where a rule lives in the NEC, which is the skill an untabbed book tests. Laws and Rules questions quote the Minnesota statute or rule they come from.
DLI does not publish how many questions come from each area. Our mix of code, calculations and laws and rules is our own estimate. Study mode shows the answer right away; exam mode runs the clock at the DLI pace and scores you at the end, by topic.
Nothing here comes from the real exam. For the rules in the room, see exam day in St. Paul. Format source: DLI examination guide. Pass rates: Board of Electricity minutes, Jan. 15, 2026.
