Is the ICC Building Contractor (B) exam open book?
ICC and NASCLA exams are open book for most categories. The bulletin for your exam lists the references allowed and the editions.
Who issues the ICC Building Contractor (B) license or certification in Texas?
It comes from the city, county or state that uses the exam. Buying a package here does not register you or make you eligible; the board approves you first, and the exam vendor schedules the test.
Can I use an ICC or NASCLA exam for a Texas state license?
Not for the TDLR electrician or A/C licenses or the TSBPE plumbing licenses, which have their own exams. These national exams are for cities, counties and other states that accept them.
Which code edition is the exam on?
Each ICC and NASCLA bulletin names the edition. Check it before ordering, since jurisdictions adopt new codes on their own schedules.
Are these the real exam questions?
No. Licensing exam questions are confidential. The courses and practice exams are original material written to the same subjects and format, with explanations that point to the reference section.
How do the books and courses arrive?
Printed and rental books ship from our fulfillment center, 1 Exam Prep. Online courses and practice exams arrive by email after purchase, so you can start the same day. Call (877) 775-9400 with any question first.
