We offer everything you need to prepare for the Mississippi Building Construction Exam.
To prepare for the exam, you will need books and tabs as well as our exam prep course. We also give the option to purchase pre-tabbed and highlighted books, saving you valuable hours of highlighting the information within the books yourself.
Mississippi Building Construction Contractors may perform construction on any commercial, residential or industrial stucture.
Note: MS applicants taking the Building Construction exam have a choice of trade exams.
