Description

The Nevada B-2 Residential and Small Commercial General Building Contractor Exam at PSI is partially-open book: three references are allowed into the exam (listed below), and additional references are listed as suggested study references. These study references may not be taken into the exam room, but contain important concepts to be familiar with in order to pass the exam. We offer two book set options: the required references allowed into the exam, and the full book set including the in-exam books as well as the suggested study references.
