1. How much study time is required before I take the test?

We recommend a minimum of 15 hours of study time either before or after the seminar.

2. Do I need all the books?

YES! You will definitely need to have access to all of the books in order to adequately prepare for the exam. If you wish to purchase the reference books from us, we recommend that you purchase them prior to the seminar. This will ensure that you will receive all reference books to begin studying and that valuable seminar time is not used to distribute books.

3. What is the difference between a Residential and a Building license in North Carolina?

The Residential license allows you to construct single- family houses or duplexes while the Building license allows you to construct any building. In North Carolina only, the Building exam is not as difficult to pass than the Residential; therefore the Building exam is the best one to take.
