California contractors who passed
Studied for ten days and passed. The practice exams are the best part.
Two weeks of studying at lunch and I passed. Very happy.
Twenty years building pools, but the test asks things you never think about on the job. The circulation and equipment diagrams in the guide filled those holes and I passed.
