Free Business & Finance practice
Free Florida Business and Finance practice test
Business and Finance is the longest part of the Florida contractor exam, and it's usually the clock that beats people. This free practice test runs on one: 20 Business and Finance questions in 65 minutes, the same pace as the real exam. You flag and jump like the real test, and finish with a breakdown of where you're weak. Short on time? There's a five-question sampler too. Enter your email to start and I'll send your score breakdown when you finish.
How this practice test compares with the real exam
| Detail | This practice test | The real Business and Finance exam |
|---|---|---|
| Questions | 20 (or a 5-question sampler) | 120 scored (plus a few unscored pilot questions) |
| Time | 65 minutes (sampler: 15 minutes) | 6 hours 30 minutes |
| Pace | 3 minutes 15 seconds per question | About 3 minutes 15 seconds per question |
| Open book | Use your own books if you have them | Yes, with DBPR's approved references only |
| Passing score | Your breakdown shows where you're weak | 70% (84 of 120) |
The pace is the point. If 20 questions in 65 minutes feels tight, 120 questions in six and a half hours will feel tighter, because by hour four you're tired and your books are all over the desk.
What the Business and Finance exam tests
DBPR's Rule 61G4-16.001 sets the content weights, and each can move by up to 3%: accounting 32%, administration 26%, government regulations 15%, establishing the business 11%, trade operations 10% and human resources 6%. Accounting is where most of the math lives, and it's close to a third of the exam.
