The Building General Contractor Classification Exam consists of 90 multiple choice questions. Examinees have 3 hours and 20 minutes (200 minutes) in which to complete the exam. You must answer 63 questions correctly in order to obtain a passing score of 70%. The current pass rate state-wide is less than 40% on the first attempt. The Construction Institute’s students’ pass rate is in the high 90th percentile on the first attempt.

 

During the seminar we will review the 6 reference books which you will take into the exam with you (2018 NC Building Code, OSHA, NASCLA Contractor's Guide to Business, Law & Project Mgmt, Sports Fields, ACI 318-14, ACI 530-11)  including how to tab them with the tabs provided with the class material and what information to highlight and underline. We will also review the exam material from the 14 reference books you cannot take into the exam with you (those you DO NOT need to purchase).
