Free California Law & Business Practice Test

Every qualifying individual, for every classification — whether you are applying for Class B, C-10, or another license, the Law & Business exam is required alongside your trade exam (C-61 Limited Specialty applicants take only Law & Business). It tests how a California contracting business must operate, from licensing rules to contracts and safety.

It draws from seven published CSLB topic areas: Business Organization and Licensing (13%), Business Finances (15%), Employment Requirements (20%), Insurance and Liens (12%), Contract Requirements and Execution (21%), Public Works (5%), and Safety (14%). Contracts and employment together carry over 40% of the exam. The free sample above groups your answers by those same areas.

CSLB generally requires at least four years of journey-level experience in your classification, earned as a journeyman, foreman, supervising employee, contractor, or owner-builder. You document that experience with CSLB when you apply; see cslb.ca.gov for the current rules. Test2Pro helps with the next step — passing the Law & Business and trade exams once your application is accepted.

This is a 20-question sample, not a full mock exam. It uses original Law & Business exam-style questions across all seven topic areas, and your result appears without login, payment, or a time limit.

No. Your topic breakdown appears after the last question, and each answer explains the rule in plain English.

No. It shows performance by topic, not whether you'll pass. Use lower scores in contracts, employment, insurance, or finance to choose what to review first.
