Frequently asked questions
The General Contractor exams are open book and use the approved reference books, including the Florida Contractors Manual, the AIA documents, the Florida Building Code volumes and OSHA 29 CFR 1926. The General Contractor books bundle holds the set for $1,450. Check the DBPR reference list for current editions before you buy.
Yes. DBPR says only materials and books on the approved reference list may be brought to the test center, and reference books must remain as published. That is why the editions on the reference list matter when you choose a bundle, and why we point you to it before you buy.
Each exam is scored as a percentage, and 70% is the minimum to pass. DBPR says scores are not rounded to the nearest percent. A General Contractor candidate sits three exams, Business and Finance, Contract Administration and Project Management, and has to pass each one.
The General Contractor books bundle is $1,450 and holds the approved reference books. The Prep and Books Bundle is $1,750 and adds the Essential Test Prep for all three exams, which costs $650 on its own, so buying them together saves $350 against buying them separately.
The certified general contractor license has three exams. Business and Finance has 120 questions and takes 6.5 hours. Contract Administration and Project Management have 60 questions each and take 4.5 hours each. Each exam needs 70% to pass, and all three are open book.
No. DBPR says a candidate retakes only the tests failed or missed. You must complete every part within four years of your first attempt, and after four years all earlier scores become invalid. That four-year window is worth planning your study around, so check your dates before you book each part.
DBPR, the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, sets the rules, including the open-book format and the approved reference list. Its vendor, Pearson VUE, gives the computer-based exams at examination sites across Florida. License to Pass sells the approved reference books and prep materials, and does not run the exams.
The books and bundles here cover the three Division I licenses: Certified General Contractor, Certified Building Contractor and Certified Residential Contractor. All three sit the same Business and Finance exam. The Contract Administration and Project Management exams differ in size by license, so check the books list for your class before you buy.
