The API-SIEE exam is the official American Petroleum Institute (API) exam behind the API Certified Source Inspector - Electrical Equipment certification, validating the skills measured by the API Source Inspector Electrical Equipment credential. It sits at the Professional level of the American Petroleum Institute (API) certification program. It also connects to API-SIRE (Source Inspector Rotating Equipment), API-SIPE (Source Inspector Pressure Equipment), so the knowledge you build here carries over to those tracks as well.

The API-SIEE exam contains 110 (100 scored, 10 unscored pretest) questions to be completed within 195 minutes. Before exam day, divide the available time by the question count to work out a comfortable per-question pace, and mark any item that eats into it so you can return later instead of getting stuck. Timed sessions in the Exams4sures test engines make that pacing automatic — run at least two full-length mock exams under the clock so time pressure never becomes the reason you drop points.

The passing score for the API-SIEE exam is Scaled score (approx. 70-75%, official value not disclosed), and the official registration fee is $495 - $695 USD (varies by membership status and region). Retakes are not discounted — every new attempt means paying the full fee again — so it pays to measure yourself before you book. Work through the 113 practice questions on Exams4sures, sit a timed practice test, and schedule your exam only when your scores are consistently comfortable. That simple habit is the cheapest exam strategy there is.

Minimum experience: 2 years electrical inspection OR 4 years electrical engineering/technology OR equivalent education + experience; prequalification required Requirements can change when American Petroleum Institute (API) revises its certification program, so confirm the current eligibility rules on the official exam page before you register.
