Choosing exam prep

Journeyman exam prep apps, compared honestly.

Most exam-prep tools cover master and contractor too, lock the good stuff behind a $99 in-app purchase, or hand you a static question bank you'll exhaust in a week. Here's how the options actually stack up for a journeyman.

Dakota Prep Electrician App Review (2026)
An independent review of the Dakota Prep electrician app — its 3,000-question bank, state exam pages, $99 in-app upgrade, and coverage of journeyman, master, and contractor exams.
Open →

The journeyman electrician exam-prep market is crowded but uneven: Dakota Prep has a strong app but covers master and contractor too and gates depth behind a one-time purchase; Mike Holt is the authority but is print-first and pricey; JADE Learning has excellent state coverage but no native app and opaque pricing; Pocket Prep only covers the NASCLA exam, not the PSI/Pearson VUE state exams most candidates actually sit.

Loomi is deliberately journeyman-only, with a transparent lifetime price, a native mobile app, and spaced repetition that keeps surfacing your weak NEC articles instead of handing you a static bank — so you never run out of fresh, relevant questions before exam day.
