This course was the missing piece to help me pass the contractor’s exam. After attempting to study on my own, I found this resource, which gave me the strategy to prepare and pass the exam. The highlighting and verbal dictation helped to reinforce the information, and the detailed practice quizzes with page notations was helpful in locating the information and being able to recall it during the exam. I don’t know that I could have passed without this resource, as most of the questions from the test came directly from the highlighted resources and were related to or similar to the practice questions. Worth every penny.
