Your Questions Answered
Quick answers to the most common questions about our electrical exam prep
Who needs a contractor license in California?
Anyone who constructs or alters any building, highway, road, parking facility, railroad, excavation, or other structure in California must be licensed by the CSLB if the total cost of one or more contracts on the project is $1000 or more (including labor and materials).
What is the best study strategy for CSLB exams?
Because the exams are closed-book, repetition is key. Memorize necessary code articles, load formulas, and legal timelines. We recommend dedicating 60% of your time to the C-10 trade (especially calculations) and 40% to Law & Business.
Why are there two separate exams, and do I need to take both?
Yes, you must pass both exams to obtain your California Contractor License. The Law & Business Exam tests your knowledge of state contracting laws, employee safety, mechanics liens, and business management. The C-10 Trade Exam tests your specific electrical knowledge and trade practices. You need both to operate legally as an electrical contractor. They are typically taken on the same day, one after the other.
What is the format of the two exams?
Both exams are strictly closed-book, multiple-choice, computer-assisted tests given at official CSLB testing centers. The Law & Business exam contains 115 questions, and the C-10 Trade exam also contains 115 questions. You have exactly 3.5 hours (210 minutes) to complete each exam.
How should I prepare, and are there manuals I can read?
While our website provides a comprehensive question bank and highly realistic mock tests to train your test-taking skills, you should supplement your studies with official material. The CSLB provides free Study Guides on their website for both the Law & Business and C-10 exams. These official guides list exactly which reference books and code books (like the California Electrical Code) you should read to build your foundational knowledge.
