FAQ
QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
How hard is the Florida General Contractor exam?
First-time pass rates are low because the exam is open book across ten reference books — speed of lookup matters more than memorization. CramPass drills book navigation until any answer takes under a minute to find.
What score do I need to pass the CGC exam?
You need 70% on each section: Business & Finance, Contract Administration, and Project Management. All are open book.
What books are allowed in the Florida GC exam?
Ten references including the Florida Contractors Manual, AIA A201/A401/A701, OSHA 1926, and the Florida Building Code. CramPass includes exact editions, printable tab labels, and a highlighting guide for every book.
How long should I study for the Florida contractor exam?
Most candidates need 4–8 weeks. The 90-Day Cram Pass ($147) covers a typical exam cycle; the Full License Pass ($297) gives a year for retakes and scheduling slack.
