This is a multiple-choice examination with four choices per question. Examination questions are written to provide only one BEST answer. Some questions require mathematical computation. A calculator will be provided. There is no penalty for guessing. If you are unsure about a particular question, it is better to try to answer the question than to leave the question blank. Plenty of time is provided to answer all examination questions, so be sure to read each question and its four choices completely and carefully before selecting the BEST possible answer to the question.

Student’s enrolled in the Exam Review will receive:

  • Drywall (“C-9”) Manual

The Drywall Manual briefly covers the major topics of the State exam including Tools and Materials, Job Preparation, Attaching Drywall to Wood or Metal Framing, Semisolid and Solid Partitions, Metal Door Framing, Joint and Surface Treatments, Repairs in Drywall, Fire Resistance, Sound Control, and a glossary of terms. The Drywall Manual also includes the Health and Safety Orders and Drywall Review Questions.

The Math Review Lecture covers the math formulas in the first part of the Drywall manual. The Drywall lecture covers the topics addressed in the manual specific to the C-9 trade exam. The Health and Safety Lecture covers the Health and Safety Orders at the end of the Drywall manual. The Drywall Review Questions lecture covers the Drywall Review Questions in the back of the
manual.

Please be sure that you study all of the practice exams. It is important to read and understand each question, and read every word of the explanations. It is necessary to learn the principles behind the question because the State’s questions may be worded differently.

The C-9 Drywall Contractor’s Computer-Assisted Practice Tests are supplied on a computer disk which will load a software program on the student’s computer. The program presents questions one at a time, automatically scores the exam, presents the student with a grade, and lists each question answered incorrectly along with the correct answer.

A drywall contractor lays out and installs gypsum wall board and gypsum wall board assemblies including nonstructural metal framing members, and performs the taping and texturing operations including the application of compounds that adhere to wall board to produce a continuous smooth or textured surface.
