Yes two parts...
Plumbing: Contractor & Gas (80 questions)
Plumbing: Business & Law (50 questions)

Yes at the the isometrics. I tested under the 2006 and the isometrics were just that. Now (on the 2009) they have an optional screen that you can look at that has blueprints so that the isometrics are clearer. When I tested the first time I did not study what so ever... I had passed both of my inspectors and journeymans- first try. The contractors is indeed the hardest test in Oklahoma, atleast it was for me. The isometrics was my worst area when I tested the first time- the new layout helped alot.
I HATE ISOMETRICS!!

I couldn't draw an isometric to save my life when I was a journeyman. I practiced so much that I actually got quite good at them and starting liking them. FL master exam has (5) iso. drawings with (1) being a two-story bldg. Iso. drawings are worth 50 points on part I test. Part I and part II are 16 hrs. long over a two day span. Pretty intimidating test. Part I (trade knowledge) tests us on 6 different code books.

We use the 2007 Florida code which is based on Int'l. plumbing code. The Fla. state exam tests us on 1. Plumbing code 2. Fuel gas code 3. Medical gas code (NFPA 99) 4. Fire standpipe code (NFPA 14) 5. Solar water and pool heating (Fl. Solar Energy Center- division of Univ. of Central Fl.) 6. On-Site Sewage Treatment and Disposal (Septic tanks, drainfields, etc.) written by Fl. state Dept. of Health. Those 6 code books are what an applicant is tested on as well as plumbing math and there are (5) isometric drawings. Total questions on first test: 120 plus the (5) isos. The second exam covers business law, OSHA law, tax law, contract law, lien law, license law and accounting. Total questions on second test: 120.
