This is a complete Florida roofing contractor study guide for the CCC license — organized the way the state organizes the exam, by content area, with the correct answer and a written explanation on every single question. Instead of memorizing letters, you read why each answer is right, so the concept still holds when the exam rewords it.
The General Trade Knowledge exam is 80 scored questions in 5 hours, delivered by computer at Pearson VUE on a daily schedule. It is open book against the state's approved reference list, and Rule 61G4-16.001(37), F.A.C. requires 70% on each required test — not an average. Because the exam is open book, knowing where an answer lives matters as much as knowing it, and studying by content area builds both at once.
Every question maps to one of the nine content areas the state publishes, weighted exactly as the state weights them. The four heaviest areas are 15% each and together decide most pass/fail outcomes:
Work one content area at a time. Read the question, commit to an answer before you look, then read the explanation — including on the ones you got right. When an area feels solid, switch to the roofing practice test to test recall, then prove it under the clock with the timed 80-question simulation. Our full study plan lays out the order step by step, and how long to allow for it.
The first two content areas are free with no account. Full access unlocks all 9 areas and 361 explained questions. Remember the guide prepares you for the exam — licensure also requires meeting the DBPR's experience, financial responsibility and insurance requirements.

No. This site covers the General Trade Knowledge exam. Business & Finance is a separate 120-question exam and is covered by our sister site flbizfinprep.com — unless you already hold an active certified Division I license, which exempts you from it.
Especially so. Open book means the answer exists in your references, but 5 hours for 80 questions rewards candidates who already understand the material and only look things up to confirm.
