General contractor license exam prep. IBC + OSHA practice questions, read aloud
Read full description
Contractor exam prep written by a licensed general contractor who used these exact questions to pass his own state license exam. Nearly 600 practice test questions organized by International Building Code (IBC) chapter, plus OSHA construction safety and general construction questions. Most questions cite the code section, so you learn where to look things up in the book — the skill that wins an open-book exam.
WHAT YOU GET
• 598 practice test questions in the style of state general contractor / builder license exams (PSI, ICC and NASCLA formats).
• Organized by IBC chapter, 23 chapters from Special Requirements (Ch. 4) through Means of Egress, Structural Design, Concrete, Masonry, Wood and Plumbing to Existing Structures (Ch. 34).
• OSHA construction safety questions and general questions on estimating, scheduling and jobsite practice.
• Code references on most questions, keyed to the 2015 and 2018 editions of the IBC.
LISTEN AND LEARN
Every chapter's questions and correct answers are recorded as audio. Play a chapter on the drive to the jobsite, with lock-screen controls, and it keeps playing while you use other apps.
STUDY BY CHAPTER
Pick one chapter for a focused practice test, or drill the whole bank. Each chapter has a progress bar that fills as you answer correctly. Missed questions collect in their own pile so you can retry them until they stick. When every bar is green, you are ready.
ROUNDS AND SCORES
Study in 10-question rounds. Each round ends with a results card: first-try score, time, and which chapters to review.
WHO IT IS FOR
Candidates for a state general contractor, residential contractor or building contractor license; apprentices and foremen learning the building code; working contractors who want a refresher before an inspection or a renewal exam.
