Candidates must prepare for questions involving safety, concrete placement, reinforcing steel, shotcrete, excavation and grading, water regulations, formwork, erosion and sedimentation control, liens, One Call procedures, and contractor laws. Because many of these subjects come from books that cannot be taken into the testing center, advance study is especially important.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery reference in this package is highlighted and tabbed to create a more organized preparation system. Highlighting draws attention to important definitions, standards, procedures, tables, construction practices, and regulatory provisions. Permanent tabs divide the books into practical subject areas so candidates can become familiar with where information appears and move through the approved references more efficiently during timed practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe package clearly separates the two exam-room-approved references from the ten study-only books.
