Pass the Contractor License Exam on Your First Try.

What is on the contractor license exam?

Most state contractor license exams test business and law (contracts, liens, licensing statutes), project management, estimating, safety regulations, and trade-specific knowledge. The exam is typically 80–120 multiple-choice questions with a 70–75% passing score. Requirements vary significantly by state and license type (general, residential, specialty).

What contractor license types does the app cover?

The app covers general contractor and specialty contractor license exams including the business and law component that applies across all license types. Questions address the Contractors State License Board (CSLB) format and similar state exams across the US.

What is the contractor license exam pass rate?

First-attempt pass rates vary by state and exam type, but typically range from 50–65% on the business and law section. Most failures occur on lien law, contract clauses, and workers' compensation requirements — topics the app covers in depth.

What is the Scope of Work Reference in the app?

The Scope of Work Reference is a built-in tool that lists allowable work by license classification — what general contractors, residential contractors, and specialty contractors can and cannot legally perform. This is a heavily tested concept on most state contractor exams.

How long should I study for the contractor license exam?

Most candidates study 30–60 hours before their contractor exam. With the app, focus on business and law (40–50% of most exams), lien law, and scope of work classifications. These sections have the most impact on your pass rate.
