Plantation, Florida

I passed all three sections on the first attempt 93, 87, and 90. The course was invaluable, I found the updated test questions to be extremely helpful.

Clearwater, Florida

The CD program was a great help with the daunting task of approaching the 14 books required for the GC exam. I scored a 95% on the Business and Finance and 80% on each of the other two. The Contract Admin and Project Management parts were hard but not impossible. The coverage that the books received during the training was right on the spot as I was finding more and more answers on the sections of the books covered. I highly recommend this program. One thing, no program would do it for you, I spent three months studying an average of 4 hours a day (Mon-Fri). Then the last week, I averaged 8 hours a day taking practice tests. Maybe I over did it. Maybe you can do it with less, but at the end, the only way that you can do it is if you put in the time. If you follow the CD course diligently and put the effort, you'll pass the test. Taking practice tests will help you with your timing skills. Timing skill are critical on exam day. The four exams at 4 hours and 45 minutes each are meant to break but the most determined of people. Anxiety and fatigue are definitively the enemy. The time is more than sufficient to find the percentage of answers needed to pass, but you have to manage this time properly. The orientation disk gives great advice on how to do this. I followed it and IT WORKED!!! Thanks to Contractor Classes. Every time I had a question, they were available. Good luck to all of you reading this message. You too can do it.

Weston, Florida

I was a client of Contractor Classes in 2006. I found all their study guides and materials very professional and easy to follow. With my winter work schedule I was able to dedicate about two months to study and prepare for the most brutal exam I have ever taken, and I have been involved in the Construction Business for 30 years! I passed all parts of my exam on the first go round. I credit this success to two points: (1) Having excellent study material. (2) Having the time to spend to study and prepare.

Malvern, Ohio

All your help is deeply appreciated. When I was told that I was taking the Florida exam in 6 weeks, I thought oh my!!! It has been 40 years since I had to study like this. I did all the reading and highlighting. The test quiz's helped the most. I would be glad to let anyone know to use your system. You do need to put in the time and effort though. Thanks a million.

Eastlake, Ohio

Only with your program could I pass my test. Thank you for the excellent course. Finally I'm a Florida Certified General Contractor.

Hello, Wanted to let you know that I took the December General Contractors exam in Tallahassee over the past two days and passed all parts - 1st attempt (96.25, 83.33, 85.00)! I have no doubt that my success was a result of the preparatory course I purchased from Contractor Classes. Thanks !!!

The program was very helpful, especially the practice exams. Those exams allowed me to become familiar with the books and how to find the answers. Thanks!

Port Saint Lucie, Florida

English is me second language and without your classes i won't be able to pass in this exam. One of my beloved friend Joepy introduce to me your program, giving self-confidence to dig the books every time, everyday, and I passed. Thanks

Royal Palm Beach, Florida

Dear Becky and Everyone Else at ContractorClasses.com, My husband, had a North Carolina contractor's license 20 years ago before we moved to Florida in 1989. It had taken him two tries to get that license, but he had passed the test up there after taking a short one-semester class at a local community college. He's been a carpenter all his life, but had started getting into a little bit of contracting homes before we moved. Then lots of life happened (including adding 4 more kids to our family which already included 3 kids when we moved here) and he never seemed to have the time to study for the Florida test, which he had heard was MUCH harder than NC's test and he never was a very confident test taker. He kept hearing that the only way to really prepare for it was to get a 2-year community college degree - not even close to an option for him while he was busy supporting a growing family. He had a few really good years lately doing trim carpentry, then the bottom dropped out of the housing market last year and to top things off, at the end of March he fell off a roof (doing his first pressure cleaning job to make up for lost construction income) and landed on a concrete driveway, breaking his leg in 4 places. After the doctor told him it would be at least 3 months before he was walking again, he decided this was the time to work on his Florida contractor's license. But he needed a program of study that he could do in short sessions over a period of time, one that didn't require him to go to "cram" classes somewhere - after all, he was confined to a wheelchair and couldn't even drive for several weeks. That's where you all came in. With your computer-based program, he was able to sit in a recliner with his foot elevated and highlight the books and study the practice exams and study questions on the computer as the pain allowed him (he had to keep getting up and rolling around in the wheelchair to control the discomfort and keep from falling asleep!). I was just glad to see him using his time for something other than feeling sorry for himself, and decided that this alone was well worth the price of your course. He decided to try taking the June 17-18 test in Orlando instead of waiting until August, even though he knew he would not be allowed to put any weight on his foot by then. So we packed up his wheelchair and his books and even our desktop computer for some last-minute study. He hadn't had time to study the flashcards or some of the exam and study questions disks by the time the test date came, so we were thinking the June test would most likely be just an expensive practice session and thought he would be back again in August after some additional study time. What a wonderful surprise when he opened his envelope and saw these grades - Business and Finance - 71.67%, Contract Administration - 73.33%, and Project Management - 86.67%! He passed the very first time!!! What a happy, happy moment for both of us. It was the perfect ending to our 31st anniversary! (We were married on June 18, 1977.) Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts,
