How To Pass The General Contractor Test

[@shelleysampson6581]

I took my plumbing test 20 years ago and I passed! I am a women and I answered all of the questions very quickly and all the men in the room where looking at me and the instructor told them I had passed, it was totally worth it !! Of course I took like a year to study and made sure I had taken the tests and got each answer correctly until then I didn't move on to the next one! I'm going to get my general contractors license to build my daughters home and a couple of others to save money- so I'm basically doing this like you, not planning on using it for anything else. Thanks for the video! And if your wondering- I had a plumbing business that was very successful!!

Passing the Contractor exam is when you study hard, if you can’t study or you don't have time for your studies l'd advise you get yourself a help like Mr Willard

[@lukerollins7792]

Yes you're correct but remember heaven helps those who help themselves, try studying if you can't study then get yourself a good help

[@stevemasongrey2461]

I studied for months and couldn't pass, I guess passing is a blessing

[@DanielRodriguez-mx8bh]

Contractor exam might seem so tough to pass but studying very hard is a very vital skill to win trust me

[@pamelaparker3463]

I've taken the exam for the 4th time and yet I failed, I really studied hard enough each time, please I need Mr Willard info😫

[@susanmorrison7638]

I passed mine after studying so hard, I'm not discouraging anyone just wanna say

I am studying for my excavation contractors license and plan to take the test within a week or 2. I’ll try to remember to chime in afterwards to give my thoughts on it.

[@ghostpeppered4524]

Thank you

About 35 years ago in Massachusetts I passed first time 00 non- restricted supers license. Same as todays A. Moved to KC and went to have my license that I had for over 30 years reciprocated. They said no. I failed about 8 times then dropped it down to c class and passed. I am determined to get that dam A. I have hands on from heavy construction to light frame you name it but struggle to pass the test. That is why I work with my hands I was never any good at schooling. (5 minutes on this spell checking on this reply). I passed my CDL A 1st time early 80s when they called it a Class 1 license before CDL. Thank you for this video

[@Challenged1]

Tests are no fun!!!

[@cooperw22]

I’ve been contemplating, getting my license.. and at first I’ll never find anyone that deals with Kansas and then you came up on my feed. Awesome stuff.. I’m in Wichita area..

[@Challenged1]

If you decide to take it, I wish you luck. I had to drive up to Salina to take the test.

[@minihypehouse5624]

Did you ever get the license? I live in Wichita as well

[@dewholdingsllc1050]

Texas dissolved the state agency for construction license so there is no such thing as a construction contractor’s license. Most all other skill trades are required to have a state license.

Congrats on the test!!!

Thanks!!!

[@pablod3734]

You have a talent to explain things sir, you should be an instructor.

Hello, How do i know what year irc book to get? And how/where to schedule the test? Thanks

[@Challenged1]

Good questions. You best bet is to get ahold of your local permitting agency and ask what is required.

[@LIAM_FE]

@@Challenged1 on Johnson county KS website they require a %75 or higher score on ICC test. But I'm not sure how to find out with irc book year to buy to prepare for the type c test ! You showed irc 2018 book . How did you find out what year needed? Thanks

Congrats on passing the test! I must have missed the graduation party invite. :(

[@Challenged1]

That is yet to come. So, So BUSY!!!

[@joshbowen4962]

Trying to understand. It sounds like where your from your able to test with the book? Very impressive reading that and marking it all in a day. I fall asleep after 4 pages ehh. Failed my first time but not giving up! Some good advice! Thanks!

[@Challenged1]

Correct, in my area it is an open book test

[@flewdefur]

I really like the comments at the start about the types of licenses, and why you would want one vs the other. How to prepare for a test is one thing, but knowing what licese you need and why is the first step.

[@Challenged1]

I appreciate the feedback

[@fortmyersfruitforest5214]

2 book?! Dude i got like 20 books for the Florida contractors exa’😂

[@Challenged1]

Is that what's required?

[@pablopicaro7649]

Back in 1992 Hurrican Andrew tore up all those shoddy 80s built houses. 50s 60s 70s houses did ok. Lots of Corruption was going to circumvent strict codes.

[@lv3575]

Lol yep 19 books are necessary for us down here in Florida

Isn’t it a open book test?

[@Challenged1]

[@JohnTart-j2j]

It is easy to be contractor in North Carolina, you got to donate money to the politicians

[@bobjoatmon1993]

Actually, I want the licensing authority to have a hard test so some of the idiots get weeded out and don't build crap that's a disaster for other people.

[@Challenged1]

Agreed

[@fredericrike5974]

I agree in principle but many states don't spend nearly enough effort on enforcement. The "rock heads" are out there and at some time you will get to deal with the aftermath. FR
