Does Georgia have a master plumbing license? Someone on this site said that in Illinois they only have a journeyman license.

Restricted? Unrestricted? Explain please. Here in FL we have active and inactive status. Active means one can apply for permits. Inactive status cannot pull permits.

I'm glad Oklahoma finally added business law and OSHA to the test. When I tested they still had a shop test and you had to actually draw the drains, vents and water for a 5 story building. You spent most of the day at the health department taking a contractor's exam. Great for the technical side, worthless for a contractor.

I thought it was the beginning of the end when they eliminated the shop test and made it all multiple choice. To top it off, it is all open book too. And with all that the fail rate for first timers is still really high. I've worked with several people going through the Oklahoma test and it is almost impossible to pass if you don't know the absolute letter of the code or where to find it really fast in the book. Otherwise you'll not have enough time to get through all the questions. Good job Christina.

I do wish they would require passing on each section rather than scoring the test as a whole.

Congrats to lpayne...now your real work begins.

FL state exam is also open book, all multiple choice. There are (5) lengthy isometric drawings. I've heard our fail rate is 60-70% for first time test-takers. FL exam isn't easy. I passed 1st time, but I studied like I was going to college. ( I studied nearly every day for 6 mos. straight ). I got 3 hours of sleep the night before the trade knowledge part (we have 2 parts to exam)

I took the test not too long ago. Passed 1st time, but it was no cake walk. Time flies in the test room. Think you do have to pass each section. You get a grade on both business and law as well as the plumbing and gas.
