Journeyman Plumber Exam Formats by State
PlumberPractice prepares candidates for five state journeyman plumber exam formats: the open-book, International Plumbing Code (IPC) journeyman plumber exam as each state administers it, with code-navigation practice questions, theory guides, timed simulations and an AI tutor.
Each format names the code edition the state exam is taken on, the number of scored items, the time allowed and the pass mark — and every one of them draws on the same shared approved IPC bank of 1,300+ questions.
