Editorial recommendation: sell as general trade/code practice, not a national journeyman licensing exam.

State rows distinguish verified contractor or specialty alternatives from an unverified journeyman-equivalent credential. A verified alternative is not a verified match to this product.

Adopted construction code and exam references are separate fields. Never infer one from the other or transfer one state's vendor/eligibility to another.

No single national question count, time limit, section weighting or passing score applies. Catalog defaults are product practice settings only.

Bank-by-bank question accuracy and full objective coverage were not audited in this research.

See every not verified state field and its reason before making consumer-facing claims.

Verification sources and scope

Verified: Editorial cross-jurisdiction synthesis: these state-specific licensing systems do not form one national journeyman exam. Current product should remain general-practice; precise official facts and gaps are field-cited in stateRows. Confirmed in the cited official source.

Preparing, qualifying, passing, receiving

  1. Preparing: CodeReady provides independent study materials.
  2. Qualifying: Meet the issuer’s eligibility, application, experience, and training requirements separately.
  3. Passing: Complete the required official assessments; a practice percentage is not an official result. OSHA Outreach requires authorized training, not a CodeReady test.
  4. Receiving: Only the responsible issuer can award the credential or card after its requirements are met. Buying or completing this bank does not confer one.

What you get / what you don’t

What you get: Access to this practice bank, cited explanations, flashcards, browser-local progress, and practice tests. Tests use eligible reviewed items only; test sizes can be smaller than the bank.

What you don’t: A license, certification, OSHA card, exam voucher, authorized training hours, practical assessment, hands-on lab, or official performance-based question simulation. No guaranteed exam result or claim of exhaustive objective coverage.

$39 buys this bank for the operating life of CodeReady. All-access is $79 lifetime or $19/month while subscribed.

Retake-access extension: monthly subscribers may request one free month of continued access after a documented exam attempt within 60 days. Single-bank and lifetime buyers already retain access; this is not an added benefit for them. Terms.
