Anyone else studying for GENERAL in the next month? Want to study together
Taking my General Contractor License exam in 6 weeks and trying to find people at a similar stage to keep each other accountable.
I study better when I have someone to compare notes with. Currently going through "general contractor license" and working on my weak areas — specifically around get general contractor license nc.
My schedule: 90 min of focused study every weekday, full practice test on weekends. I review every wrong answer and try to understand the why, not just memorize the right option.
If you're in a similar prep window and want to:
- Compare practice test scores weekly
- Share resources that actually helped
- Talk through confusing questions
Reply here or message me. Doesn't have to be formal — even just checking in once a week helps me stay on track.
Where is everyone at in their prep?
Went through this exact question when I was prepping. The GENERAL material on "general contractor license" is actually not as bad as it looks — once it clicks it clicks.
What helped me was finding one resource that explained it from first principles instead of just giving me the "right answer." Made a huge difference on the scenario-based questions.
Also: don't underestimate the importance of reviewing your wrong answers more than your right ones. I learned more from 20 wrong answers than 200 correct ones.
Passed GENERAL 3 months ago. Happy to share what I remember.
On the "general contractor license florida" stuff specifically — I found the practice tests here were actually harder than the real exam on those questions. Which was great because going in I felt more prepared than I needed to be.
The time pressure is real though. I came in with maybe 8 minutes to spare and that was after skipping the ones I wasn't sure about and coming back.
Don't try to cram the night before. Seriously. Last-minute stress makes you second-guess things you actually know.
Failed first attempt, came back to this thread. The consensus on general-contractor-license practice test being the make-or-break area is right. Focusing almost exclusively on applied questions this time around.
The advice about understanding why wrong answers are wrong — not just memorizing right ones — is genuinely the best general-contractor-license advice in this thread. Rebuilt my prep around that and it made a real difference.
Honestly I almost bailed two weeks in. The general contractor material felt endless and I wasn't retaining anything, so I took a few days off and came back with a totally different approach — I stopped trying to memorize everything and just drilled the areas I kept getting wrong. That shift made a huge difference.
If you're struggling right now, don't give up. It gets easier once things start clicking. I passed last month and I promise the weak spots you're grinding on now are the exact ones that show up most. Just keep pushing through them.
