Best way to prepare for CA CSLB General Contractor B License

My husband just received notice that he can schedule his exam date. What are the best ways to prepare for the Law & Safety and General B license? Just get the book and study or do you suggest a course and if so which one? Thank you!

    Hi Krystal,

    I have recently been issued my Remodeling contractors license. The business and law portion should be the same for the general contractors exam. I have a business degree so I knew a good amount before I took the law exam. I used an online crash course and it helped, also for the trade exam. The courses really help, only if you actually study the material with the intention to learn instead of memorizing the material and the practice questions. I passed both exams first time and I'm not what you would consider "book smart". All of my qualifying experience came from live-in-flips and building ADUs as an owner builder.

    Hope this helps and good luck to your husband!

     Alot of the contractors I know went to License Instruction Schools. They scheduled schooling right before the test so it was fresh in their minds. Tell em best of luck!
