How To Pass The General Contractor License Exam THE FIRST TIME 2023/2024 Edition
How To Pass The General Contractor License Exam THE FIRST TIME 2023/2024 Edition.
This is how I passed my G-13/F-13 National Residential Building Contractor Exam Class C from ICC in seven days without any previous experience. In this video I'll show you the techniques, resources, and even some loopholes I found that can help you pass your residential contractor exam. This video does apply to the ICC (International Code Council) most recent code book update 2021. This video can help you pass your Class C Residential Building Contractor Exam the first time in 2023 and 2024. This is how you become a general contractor in 2023 and 2024. When I first started my research it was hard to find the proper resources to help me pass this general contractor exam. I do want to say if I can pass this test in seven days with no previous experience, you can too.
Here are the steps I did that allowed me to pass the General Contract Exam the first time:
1. Buy the IRC 2021 Residential Building Contractor code book on Amazon.
www.amazon.com/International-Residential-Code-2021-Council/dp/1609839579/ref=sr_1_6?crid=2L15FGU4JLWL5&keywords=2021+ICC+Book&qid=1697696905&sprefix=2021+icc+book%2Caps%2C107&sr=8-6&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.f5122f16-c3e8-4386-bf32-63e904010ad0
2. Got to the ICC website and create an account.
*here is the link: my.iccsafe.org/login
Once your account is created go to your 'My ICC Dashboard' and purchase the required practice test. In this case if you are taking your Class C Residential Building Contractor Exam, you will want to take the F-13 or G-13.
3. Take the practice tests and make notes of the keywords of the questions to place on your tabs within your code book.
*I only bought the practice test available on the ICC website.
4. Train your brain to understand how to find the information in the book. Remember it's not about what you know about residential building but how quickly you can confirm what you know about residential building.
*This test is a scavenger hunt, leave as many crumbs as possible (tabs).
5. Don't read the book but learn to search through the book. Pretend that you are on a job and you are asked a question that you don't know. You'll need to find the information as quick as possible. This is where your book organization comes into play.
I would create tabs for the following:
Keywords of practice test questions
Alphabetical Definitions
All your Tables
Chapter names
Index
6. Go into the test without stress and set proper expectations. You have four hours to complete an 80 multiple choice test. That's about three minutes a question but what I've realized is after taking the practice tests, the information sticks in your brain. So, some questions become instinctual. Some test questions you may know immediately and some may take a second to find. So, don't get hung up on the time. You will finish.
You got this! Never stop learning! I believe in you.
A bit of motivation, depending on where you work and live and your business knowledge, Licensed General Contractors can make between $75,000-$500,000 a year.
If you need any help with anything just let me know in the comments. I can't promise I know the answer but ill try my best.

today I dreamt I was a dog-DEDICATED TO MY DOG AND BEST FRIEND CAESAR, RIP, I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN
Переглядів 785 років тому
Dreaming in December...Today I dreamt I was a dog. I made this for my dog, Caesar who has now past away. I had to put him to rest last October 2022. It was the hardest thing I have ever done. He was always a great friend to me and he taught me so much. I like to think I live how Caesar would, never judging, always excited, only sad when I do wrong, always willing to love anyone from the second ...
Super helpful; you are the MAN. God Bless you.
Do you pay for the test?

Hello Nick! This video is extremely helpful. I am currently on the ICC website but I can’t seem to find the practice test. Do you mind sharing a direct link to the practice test for the G13? Thanks in advance .
Hi Nick, please let me know where can I buy the tabs?
Nick what are the tabs you are using?
Thanks for sharing this. Can you please do a video on how to set up tabs just like yours .
Is the test an open book test?
I was wondering the same thing 🤔
Interesting 🤔🤓

Stuggling to find the purchase necessary to access the practice for the IRC examinations.
Email me here: blueprintaimedia@gmail.com
Helpful video. Thanks
Good info👍👍
Those IRC & IBC books are not listed on the website as approved books to take to the exams here in Florida. I just bought all the new books 2023 to do the test after July 1st. Any suggestion about a good online course or test prep would really appreciate it. Thanks
Email me here: blueprintaimedia@gmail.com
Hey Nick. This is great. I am on the ICC Safe Dashboard and having troubles finding the G13 practice test. Where specifically is that located? I have searched in a variety of places and keeping getting "not found". Thanks for your help.
I was about to ask the same thing. The website seems to be missing all the general contractor training.
Email me here: blueprintaimedia@gmail.com
This is by far the best video on how to pass the general contractor license exam! I have been going about this wrong and stressing! Now I am feeling confident I will pass the first time! Thanks!
You took it girl?
Good job bro
Is it possible to get the license without experience? Everything in Florida says you need 4 years. I’ve only had experience building two owner / builder homes for myself
Great Question , I'd like to know for myself.
You can get someone to sign off for you. Not that hard actually
Like who? lol
Email me here: blueprintaimedia@gmail.com
Nick please help me please I have the C-54 tile and mosaic subcontractor now I want to go for the general B-2 residential remodeling in California San Jose would the IRC book 2021 would it help me or just go to a school and buy the bundle and then go take exam
Email me here: blueprintaimedia@gmail.com
Would this work on the class B2 residential remodeling here in San Jose California
Great info bro !! Thank you 🙏 Here in MN they do the test based on the Minnesota Residential Code book , which is being made and approved from the IRC book
Hi, I just started doing my studies. I bought the Minnesota Residential Code 2020. I google it and this was what was available. I have 0 knowledge on codes. I being doing exterior remodeling only for a couple of years. I'm in Eden P. MN. Just reaching out to see where people around my state test or any tips. Thanks good luch.
@@JoseRamirez-si2yh you are gonna be fine studying that one bro , but you also need to study this one www.dli.mn.gov/sites/default/files/pdf/rbc-manual.pdf Unfortunately you can not bring your own to your test , DLI will provide you the MN Code book and the RBC manual from MN as well as, that’s the one on the link above, good luck bro 👍
Hey how much would you charge me for the book you already prepared or if you can prepare one for me how much
If you purchase a book and ship to me I can prepare it for you…$275
I can’t find your email Nick but would very much be interested in this service. Can you give me your email so I can contact you.
@@nickjbogard what’s your email I would love to take you up on this. I can email you get an address and payment details.
Their customer service is clueless. Quick question, I paid for the textbooks through the icc website. The concrete manual was a digital copy. How do I bring that into an exam lol.
It’s quite terrifying lol. You cannot bring it in. Only textbooks are allowed. If your taking your residential contractor exam you don’t need the concrete manual. Otherwise get your money back and buy the hard cover book off Amazon
@nickjbogard ten 4. I'm taking the F12-N F12 National Building Contractor (B) and suggested I purchase the Building and Rez code books, concrete guide (ebook)
@@DorkFaceKiLagood luck boss! You got this! Hit me up when you pass 🤙🏽
very interesting, is what states is this valid in? ive never seen this classification in my state before (Nevada) ive only heard on the B class b-1 and b-2
How long was your study time?
I did x2 2hr sessions a day for a about a week.
Hey I can’t seem to find the practice test on the website help please
hey nick, is ICC like DPOR?
I’m not familiar with DPOR if you elaborate more I’ll help anyway I can
@nickjbogard is I may come in. DPOR is the licensing agency for skilled trades in Virginia. Google or and it'll take you to the website that gives all the details on licensing. My concern is in doing research and I'm finding mixed signals. Some say class C is no test, only a business class. Others say there is a test.
@SlickJWilly same here. I was reading the same. But I called DPOR to clarify and you have to take an exam. The 8 hour pre licensing course is just mandatory to take before the exam. Each trade has a different exam. I'm doing general contracting so I'm doing the residental home building.
@@turboskywalker9108 this is exactly the same for me. I was wondering if you can help me with what book I should get to study. I tried calling psi multiple times but they are not much help. I would appreciate it a lot if you guys can share with me what you’re using to study. Thank you
I have a class C (g13) currently, and I figured going for a class A (g11) will allow me to take on any project.. is this thinking correct? For some reason the class B (g12) sounds more wide spread in terms of projects I can take on, given it’s for both commercial and residential. JUST ASKING IN GENERAL, as I’m sure it is location dependent. (I live in NE and there is no state-based test)
Don’t they ask you for experience when applying for a license?
Not to take the test. The county you apply to work in may. It varies
This is great, thank you! I just bought the book and will be taking an exam prep class; I have no experience whatsoever and I have been looking all over UA-cam for tips, especially after going through the book myself. Feeling a lot better after your tips/recommendations. Thank you!
You got this! I believe in you! If you need any help or anything let me know. Let me know when you pass! 🍻
Thank you !!! As of now not sure if I need help, but I am trying to get used to the book before class starts. Will start with writing the tags for each chapter.@@nickjbogard
Quick question.. I am trying to look for the practice exam on the website that you mentioned, but I am having a hard time finding it. One of the sections asked the sate and I could not find MA. 🤨@@nickjbogard
@@fernandacosta973hi did you take the test and pass ? Please share thanks
Great video. Good info straight to the point 👍🏽
Hey, Nick. Do you still use this channel? I cant find you on any other outlets and wanted to get your insight on some things.
Hey buddy, still use it! What’s going on ?
@@nickjbogard wanted to chat with you on obtaining contractors license. Is there a limit for the financial statements that you need.
You don’t need any of that.
So if the 2021 version is the most up to date why are the classes still using the 2015 version?
Haven’t caught up yet. Some county are requiring 2021 now but some still use the old info 😬
@nickjbogard that's crazy. It's like they're setting you up to fail. We're in MA and they gave us the 2015 ICC but after watching your video I ordered the 2021
Anyone know if the IRC 2018 book is still adequate to test and study with?
