More than 50% of the contractors fail their exams the first time around. If you fail, it can be up to four months before you are eligible to take the exam again. You may have to submit new information to take the test again. For instance, some of the licensing boards require applicants to get a new financial audit every time you apply to take the exam. This can cost a company thousands of dollars to hire a CPA to do this detailed report! Even if your exam is open book (or some parts are open book), it is still a challenging test because there are so many questions you must look up from multiple references. Many contractors complain that they didn't even have enough time to look up the last 20-30 questions on their test. These unanswered questions make a difference whether you pass or fail! Most states hire private testing companies to give the examinations. You must pay a fee to them every time you take the exam. Maybe this is why the tests are so hard! As many as 27 different reference books are required for some tests! Every contractor must pass a Business Law Exam in addition to their specialty exam. Some boards require you to take several hours of continuing education if you do not pass your exam after two tries before you are allowed to reapply. These exams are more about test taking skills than about job knowledge. So, it doesn't matter if you've been doing this for more than twenty years, it won't help with your test. Memorizing the questions is not the answer either because there are several versions of every test. So, you probably won't get the same test when you retake the exam.

• Learn invaluable tips and strategies so that you will pass your test. Most importantly, find out how to interpret the questions. If you don't understand what you're actually being asked, you won't come up with the correct answer. Additionally, our instructors can help you figure out how to understand complex diagrams and work extensive calculations that will be on your exam.
  
  
• Find out which reference books are really needed. You do not have to buy all the books to pass your exam, but some are essential.
  
  
• We offer many exam prep options, depending on your needs: take a class, order a home study course, buy a practice exam to find out how you'll score on your actual test, or sign up for private tutoring if you need personalized help or it is simply more convenient if we come to your facility. Get necessary continuing education credits utilizing our "easy mail order courses" to keep your license up-to-date.
