Take a free Ramsay electrical practice test: 16 questions in 16 minutes, two from each of the eight areas Ramsay lists for the 60-question ElecTest, from motors and ladder diagrams to PLCs, meters and panels. Then prepare with written guides, video lessons, timed drills and full simulations.

Ramsay Corporation lists about twenty electrical and controls tests by level, from apprentice to above journey level, and your employer picks one.3 The ElecTest is the journey-level electrical knowledge test; Industrial Electrician sits at the same level, Electrical Maintenance Trainee below it.3

The ElecTest spreads 60 questions over eight areas, and one of them is not electrical at all: mechanical and hand/power tools. The course covers the eight areas in E1–E8 and M11, each with a written guide, a video lesson, an endless trainer and three timed drills.
Learn the method, practice it without pressure, then put it on the clock. The same four steps in every lesson, so you always know what comes next.
A written guide per lesson with worked examples, the formulas to know and the traps that cost points, plus a short video lesson on the same method.
The trainer in every content lesson serves new questions without end, by question type and level, with the solution after each one.
Three drills per lesson, easy, moderate and hard, 12 questions each at 60, 50 or 45 seconds a question, with fresh numbers every time.
Three 60-question simulations, one clock, nothing marked until the end; then follow the lesson links for the question types you missed.
Start with the 45-question diagnostic: about two questions from every lesson, so you see which electrical lessons to open first.
Electrical questions reward one clean method: the right formula, the right reading of a diagram, the right meter connection. After every drill answer you see the reasoning and the trap most people fall into, so the same mistake doesn’t cost you twice.
For apprenticeship and trainee programs Ramsay offers the Electrical Aptitude Test: 36 questions in 18 minutes, 30 seconds each, on how well you can learn electrical work rather than what you already know.2
Every simulation runs like a real sitting: one clock for the whole test, one question per screen, nothing marked until the end. The result shows your raw score, your electrical and mechanical parts, the question types you missed with the lesson for each and an estimated percentile from Ramsay’s published ElecTest norms.
Free sample questions show you the format. Here’s what they usually leave out.
| Free practice | Ramsay 2026 | |
|---|---|---|
| Clock | Often untimed | A clock on every drill question and every simulation |
| Coverage | A few basics, often only circuits | All eight ElecTest areas, including PLCs, panels and the tools area |
| Figures | A few, if any | Ladder diagrams, meter circuits, waveforms, nameplates, panel schedules |
| Why an answer is right | Often just a key | Every drill answer explained, with the common trap |
| Full-length practice | One test, if any | Three 60-question ElecTest simulations plus the aptitude test |
| Where you stand | A raw score | Area scores, the lesson to open next and an estimated percentile |
| Cost | $0 | $68 once, 90 days of access |
Pick how much time you have and see the route.
With days instead of weeks, spend them where the diagnostic says you lose points, and read the M11 guide once for the tools questions.
The eight areas each get questions, so cover every lesson on the electrical path once before you polish the weak ones.
Not sure which electrical form you’ll get? The knowledge forms test the same basics, so nothing you learn is wasted. For an apprenticeship, add lesson A4 for the aptitude test.
26 lessons in all. The Electrical path uses E1–E8 and M11; the mechanical, aptitude and other lessons are open to you as well.
The same course and the same purchase cover it. These tests have their own pages.
Seven craft areas for multi-skilled maintenance jobs. See our Ramsay MultiCraft test page.
153 questions in 21 areas for maintenance mechanics and electricians. See our Ramsay maintenance practice test page.

Not sure which Ramsay test you have? Start with our Ramsay test prep overview.
Yes. The practice test on this page is free, with no account and no email: 16 electrical questions in 16 minutes, two from each of the eight ElecTest areas. You get your score by area, the course lesson to start with and an explanation for every answer. The questions come from the drills of our Ramsay 2026 course; they are not Ramsay Corporation’s own items.
Usually it means the ElecTest, which Ramsay Corporation designed to measure the electrical knowledge and skills required for electrical maintenance jobs. It has 60 multiple-choice questions in eight areas. Ramsay also offers Industrial Electrician and Electrical Maintenance Trainee forms with 60 questions, and the shorter Electrical Aptitude Test.
Ramsay’s product page lists 60 multiple-choice items and gives no time limit, so ask your employer. The course runs its three ElecTest simulations at about one minute per question (60 minutes), the pace of this free test.
Eight areas: motors and drives; digital and analog electronics; schematics, print reading and control circuits; basic AC/DC theory and electrical maintenance; computers, PLCs and test instruments; power supplies; power distribution and construction/installation; mechanical and hand/power tools. The product page lists the areas, not how many questions each one has.
A shorter test for apprentice and trainee programs: 36 multiple-choice questions in 18 minutes on mathematics, electrical concepts, electrical schematics, process flow, signal flow and electrical sequences. Ramsay says it is not designed to measure specific knowledge, but the potential to succeed in an apprenticeship or trainee program. The course covers it in lesson A4 and an Electrical Aptitude simulation.
Ramsay’s product page gives no pass mark; the employer decides. It does publish norms from an earlier form (A2): 3,238 people scored a mean of 29.08 of 60, with a standard deviation of 8.61. The course simulations use these norms to estimate your percentile.
Ramsay 2026 works as one: each of the eight electrical lessons has a written guide with worked examples, the formulas to know and the common traps, a short video lesson, an endless trainer and three timed drills. Lesson M11 covers the tools questions on the ElecTest.
Only if your employer allows it, so plan without one. The math is short: Ohm’s law, series and parallel totals, transformer ratios, motor speed, the 125 % rule, 4–20 mA scaling. The course drills every formula without a calculator.
One payment of $68 gives you 90 days of access to Ramsay 2026: 25 lessons with a written guide and a video lesson, 69 timed drills, a 45-question diagnostic and 17 timed simulations, including three ElecTest forms and the Electrical Aptitude Test. Access starts right after checkout. If it is not right for you, email support within 7 days for a full refund (7-day money-back guarantee).
