Pearson Vue Examination and Results

All State examinations are given by computer. You do not need any computer experience or typing skills to take the exam. You will be given a personal introduction to the testing system, along with a lesson before you start your exam.

Plan to arrive 30 minutes before your scheduled appointment in order to verify your identification, have your photo taken and allow for time to sign-in. You must present two valid forms of identification before you will be allowed to test. At least one form must meet the following criteria:

• The confirmation number you received when you made the exam reservation
• Current, valid government-issued photo identification (drivers license, state-issued I.D. card or military I.D.)
• The name on the government-issued photo I.D. must be the same as the name used to register for the test
• You must have a current photo and your signature.

Two examinations are given for each license line: the Trade exam and the Business and Law exam. A passing score for all construction examinations is 70% correct. You must achieve a passing score on both the Trade examination and Business and Law examination to be eligible for a license. Candidates who pass one examination and fail the other need to retake only the failed exam.

You will be allowed to refer to the following resources when taking your exam.  This information will be given to you by the exam proctor.  You are not allowed to take anything into the exam with you.  Even the calculator is on the keyboard of the computer.
