Sample questions
Q1. In Georgia, a contractor license is generally required when the cost of labor and materials on a project exceeds:
- $1,000
- $2,500
- $10,000
- $25,000
Answer: B. Georgia requires the appropriate license for construction work where labor and materials exceed $2,500. Working unlicensed above this threshold also undermines contract and lien enforcement.
Q2. The minimum net worth requirement for an unlimited Georgia General Contractor license is:
- $25,000
- $50,000
- $150,000
- $500,000
Answer: C. The unlimited GC requires $150,000 minimum net worth; the Limited Tier requires $25,000 with a contract-size cap. Financial responsibility figures are reliable exam material.
Q3. For Georgia general contractors, the trade examination is:
- Written by each county
- The NASCLA Accredited Examination
- Waived with 10 years of experience
- An oral interview with the Board
Answer: B. Georgia uses the NASCLA Accredited Examination as the GC trade exam, scheduled through PSI after Board approval. Passing it also places you in the multi-state NASCLA database.
Q4. Both Georgia contractor exams are administered as:
- Closed-book memory tests
- Open-book exams allowing tabbed and highlighted approved references
- Take-home assessments
- Practical jobsite demonstrations
Answer: B. Both the Business and Law exam and the NASCLA exam are open book. The tested skill is locating answers in the approved references quickly — which is exactly what reference-pointer practice trains.
Q5. A Georgia general contractor must carry general liability insurance of at least:
- $100,000
- $250,000
- $500,000
- $1,000,000
Answer: C. The Board requires a minimum of $500,000 in general liability coverage for the general contractor license. Insurance minimums are classic one-mark questions.
