California contractors who passed
The Law and Business part scared me more than the HVAC part. I took the practice exams over and over until the score stopped going up and down. Passed both.
I took the Law and Business first because everyone said it was harder. For the HVAC side, the airflow diagrams were what finally taught me the material.
The timer was my biggest problem. Practicing with the clock running taught me not to stay too long on one question.
