# Electrical Work (Residential) Assessment

## Description
The Electrical Work (Residential) assessment is designed to measure the knowledge and skills required for entry-level to mid-level residential electricians performing installation, maintenance, repair, and upgrade of electrical systems in homes. The test evaluates candidates and employees across key areas including wiring, wire sizing, and circuits, electrical panels, breakers, and service entrance, outlets, switches, and fixtures, grounding, bonding, and safety practices, the National Electrical Code (NEC) as it applies to residential work, and reading wiring diagrams and blueprints. It measures skill-based knowledge through a variety of question formats, including multiple choice, multiple correct answer, and essay composition questions. To ensure a thorough and accurate evaluation, the test draws questions from a large pool to reduce the risk of cheating, incorporates time limits on select questions to improve predictive performance, and utilizes artificial intelligence to assist in scoring one or more questions.
