New NICET Level I Practice Exam (Exam-Style Simulation- Beta)

This course now includes an exam-style practice test designed to closely mirror the actual NICET Level I Electrical Power Testing exam. This timed assessment uses the same question balance, pacing, and pressure you can expect on test day.

Exam format:

• 67 questions
• 80-minute time limit
• Content weighting:
  • 75–80% Safety
  • 10–15% Field Testing
  • 5–10% Management & Planning

To match the real testing experience, this exam is limited to 3 attempts per month, encouraging focused preparation and realistic performance tracking.

You will still have unlimited access to the internal practice quizzes and exams throughout your subscription period. These remain available for skill-building, repetition, and concept review, while the exam-style test is intended for true readiness checks before test day.
