Licensing Steps

Candidates preparing for the New Mexico Streets, Roads and Highways Contractor GA-1 exam should begin by confirming that the GA-1 classification matches their licensing goal. Streets, roads, and highways work can involve grading, paving, pipe installation, excavation, drainage, asphalt, concrete, traffic control, stormwater management, construction safety, utility coordination, specification compliance, and standard drawing interpretation.

A practical preparation path includes reviewing the GA-1 exam focus, gathering required information, using the included Application Service, completing the proper application or approval process when required, scheduling the exam, studying the listed rental references, using the online course, practicing open-book navigation, preparing for any additional required exam, and arriving at the test center with proper identification and approved materials. Candidates should also review all testing instructions before exam day.

Because contractor exams are reference-based, candidates should build a study routine around the actual books, specifications, manuals, handbook, and standard drawings. Reading general summaries alone is not enough. Candidates should spend time inside OSHA 29 CFR Part 1926, Design and Control of Concrete Mixtures, Pipe and Excavation Contracting, Hot Mix Asphalt Paving Handbook, MUTCD 2003, New Mexico Specifications for Highway and Bridge Construction, Storm Water Management for Construction Activities, Asphalt in Pavement Maintenance, New Mexico One Call Excavator Handbook, New Mexico Department of Transportation Active Standard Drawing Master List and Standard Drawings, Design and Construction of Urban Stormwater Management Systems, and business books listed as Includes lines 2-4.
