Open Book Test

The Georgia Business & Law exam is an OPEN BOOK exam. PSI states candidates may use a silent, nonprinting, non-programmable calculator in the examination center.

Reference rules you must follow: PSI states reference material may be highlighted, underlined, and/or indexed, but it must be otherwise unmarked (not written in) and may not contain additional papers (loose or attached).

Tabs rule (important): PSI states references may be tabbed/indexed with permanent tabs only. Temporary tabs (such as Post-It notes) are not allowed and must be removed before the exam will begin.

Licensing Steps

1. Apply with the Georgia licensing board: Georgia State law requires contractors to be licensed and regulated by the Professional Licensing Board. Eligibility for examination is determined by the Board.
2. Receive approval to test: If your completed application is approved, you’ll be notified how to contact PSI for registration.
3. Schedule your exam with PSI: Choose an available test center date/time through PSI’s scheduling process.
4. Take and pass required exams: Your required exam(s) depend on license classification, but the PSI bulletin states the Business & Law exam is required in addition to the applicable contractor exam for the license path.

State Requirements

Georgia contractor licensing is regulated by the State Licensing Board for Residential and General Contractors (Professional Licensing Board Division). Requirements vary by license classification (for example, Residential Basic, Residential Light Commercial, or General Contractor paths) and by whether you are applying as an individual or qualifying agent. Use the Board’s application materials that match your exact classification to confirm what must be submitted for approval to test.

Test Information and Study Materials

• Why highlighted & tabbed matters: Open-book exams reward fast navigation. A clean tab system and purposeful highlighting can reduce search time and help you confirm answers quickly.
• Keep it exam-compliant: PSI permits highlighted/underlined/indexed references, but prohibits writing in the book and prohibits loose or attached papers.
• Use permanent tabs only: PSI allows permanent tabs and requires temporary tabs (like Post-It notes) to be removed before the exam begins.
• Practice under time: Train for pacing across 50 questions in 120 minutes so you can manage lookups without running long.
