  • Whether you want to build one home or many, at some point you will need to know how to pass the general contractor test. I recently subdivided some land and will be building a spec home on one of the lots. Since I'm not going to live in the home, the only way I can build it is to hire it done by someone else, or get my general contactor license so I can build it myself. That's exactly what I'm doing, and I'm documenting my entire process for UA-cam.

    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

    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!!

    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

    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.

    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.
