What happens if I fail the CSLB Class C-10 — Electrical (Trade Exam)?

You can retake it under Contractors State License Board (CSLB), California Department of Consumer Affairs's rule: CSLB gives you 18 months after it accepts your application to pass; within that window you may take an exam as many times as you need, but you must wait 21 calendar days after each attempt. Confirm the current policy with Contractors State License Board (CSLB), California Department of Consumer Affairs before you book.

Who administers the CSLB Electrical (C-10) Trade Examination?

Contractors State License Board (CSLB), California Department of Consumer Affairs — exam delivered by PSI Services LLC. CSLB's legal existence is set by Business and Professions Code § 7000.5. CSLB states it has contracted with PSI to administer its examinations.

How many questions are on the CSLB Electrical (C-10) Trade Examination?

Not published by CSLB. CSLB says only that “All trade examinations consist of multiple-choice questions.” No count appears in the study guide, the Examinations FAQ, or PSI's candidate bulletin.

How long is the CSLB Electrical (C-10) Trade Examination?

210 minutes. CSLB: “You will be given 3-1/2 hours to complete each examination.” It is per examination, not per sitting — a candidate taking Law and Business plus a trade exam gets 3-1/2 hours for each.

What is the passing score for the CSLB Electrical (C-10) Trade Examination?

Not published by CSLB. CSLB: “You will be informed at the test site about the percentage of correct answers needed to pass each examination,” and, in Get Licensed to Build Q14, that the percentage “varies for each exam”. Passing candidates are never shown their own score. PrepPass states no passing score for this exam.

How much does the CSLB Electrical (C-10) Trade Examination cost?

$450 — Original application (exam or waiver, one classification) (CSLB, one-time); $51.43 — Examination registration (each registration, first attempt or retake) (PSI Services LLC, per attempt); $200 — Initial license fee (sole owner) (CSLB, one-time); $350 — Initial license fee (non-sole owner: partnership, corporation, LLC, joint venture) (CSLB, one-time); $20 — C-10 electrician-certification surcharge, added to the active license renewal fee (CSLB, per renewal). Two payees: application and license fees go to CSLB, the per-exam registration fee to PSI. CSLB's 2023 “Get Licensed to Build” PDF still names a $100 rescheduling fee; it appears neither on CSLB's current fee list nor in Business and Professions Code § 7137 as amended effective 1 January 2026, so it is not stated here. The application fee is charged once per original license application and covers both required exams.

What languages is the CSLB Electrical (C-10) Trade Examination offered in?

English. CSLB names ten exams that have Spanish versions and C-10 is not one of them, so the C-10 exam is English only. For other trade exams and languages CSLB may allow an approved translator as an accommodation. CSLB does publish a Spanish C-10 study guide — that is a study guide, not a Spanish exam.

Does the CSLB Class C-10 — Electrical (Trade Exam) cheat sheet come as a PDF?

Are there free CSLB Class C-10 — Electrical (Trade Exam) practice questions?

Yes — 521 of them, free to use with no signup and an explanation on every one. They are separate from this cheat sheet, which is what you are buying here. The same free, no-account system also has practice modes (adaptive, new questions, spaced review of misses, weak-topic focus, saved, my mistakes); a timed mock exam (100 questions, 210 minutes) with a score report by topic; a 10-question readiness check (about 5 minutes); 6 study chapters. None of it needs this cheat sheet.

Is there a cheaper way to buy the CSLB Class C-10 — Electrical (Trade Exam) cheat sheet with anything else?

It adds CSLB Law & Business — Complete Study Guide (2026), CSLB Class C-10 Electrical — Trade Exam Study Guide (2026), CSLB Law & Business — Cheat Sheet (2026). The saving is measured against the items' real current prices; there is no struck-through "original" price on this site.

Is this the official CSLB Class C-10 — Electrical (Trade Exam) cheat sheet?

No. This is an independent cheat sheet and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the exam's awarding body. Its figures come from California Business & Professions Code / Title 24 California Building Standards Code / 8 CCR (Cal/OSHA) / CSLB published material, and the PDF lists the sources and the date each figure was checked. Always confirm current requirements with the body that issues your licence.
