Yesterday I took the Ak Journeyman exam and got a 91. I pretty much just took the 2002 exam quiz on here about 80 times and knew how to use my code book.

k5brad,

Congratulations!

In reference to your post to my success/inquiry in regards to the WY/AK tests back in May in this forum, was the exam pretty much as you expected? ie-4 hrs., code book only, etc.?? I still haven't taken the exam as the Company that was to fly a few of us to AK to take the exam has not yet made the arrangements.

Yeah, the test was real straight forward, code only. 100 questions and four hours, you can have a calculator that you wont need but take it, a code book that can be tabbed and highlighted just not written in. Mike Holt's code quiz thats ten questions was my main study tool for the test, I would take about seven or eight quizzes in a row a couple times a day for a month or so. When I took it they were using the 2002 code, but I think I remember reading a paper outside the L&I office door that in July they were finally changing to the '05. All you need to do is send in the application with your $50 a week or two later you'll get a letter telling you to call and schedule a test date, the tests are given every Weds., once you take the test you just wait til 4:00 to call and get results and maybe if your lucky you can get your card that day for the $200 license fee.

Or....you could just wait a few more months and reciprocate. I guess it depends on where you want to work this winter, someplace cold or some other place thats cold.

I am getting ready to submit my Alaska application. On the app they ask for a drivers license number. Do I need an Alaska drivers license? I have been working in Alaska about a year as an electrician in an underground mine near Juneau. I'm in the process of relocating but wasn't sure about the drivers license.

Ugminer,

Wow. That must be cool. I don't know if I could hack it but I bet it would be interesting. Could you provide some stories?

The drivers license is just for the girls in at labour and industries to make sure you are you when you go to take the test. I didnt have an Ak license.
