If you want to challenge the results of an exam
- You need to review the exam results provided by the testing agency.
- You cannot see your exam.
- The exam results provide a list of code articles indicating the areas you got wrong on the test. You have to determine what questions you got wrong by reviewing the code articles.
- You can only challenge the questions that you got wrong, not the entire test.
How to challenge exam results
All challenges must be made in writing and received by the Chief Electrical Inspector no later than twenty (20) days after the examination was taken.

Put your contact information in the letter, including a phone number.
