💡 Important Exam Insight

The Nevada C-17 Lathing and Plastering Contractor Exam is a closed-book exam, meaning no study materials or references are allowed inside the testing center.

Candidates who spend time mastering plastering methods, gypsum system applications, finishing techniques, and OSHA safety standards are typically much more confident and successful during both the licensing exam and real-world plastering and drywall projects afterward.
