Common questions

Before you start.

What does a C-7 Low Voltage Systems Contractor license cover?

A C-7 contractor installs, services, and maintains communication and low-voltage systems that are energy limited and do not exceed 91 volts, including telephone, sound, cable TV, CCTV, satellite dish antennas, instrumentation and temperature controls, and low-voltage landscape lighting. Low-voltage fire alarm systems are specifically excluded and, per CSLB guidance, require a C-10 Electrical license.

Is this built specifically for the C-7 low voltage trade exam?

Yes. It is positioned for California C-7 applicants who want low voltage trade-specific practice organized around the official CSLB content outline, which covers job planning and design, material selection and estimation, wire and cable installation, systems configuration, testing and closeout, troubleshooting, and safety.

Do I need the Law & Business exam too?

Yes. CSLB describes the exam process in two parts and requires all qualifying individuals to pass the Law & Business exam in addition to the C-7 trade exam, so many applicants bundle both.

Can I take the C-7 exam online, and how many questions or what passing score should I expect?

No, the official CSLB exam is taken in person at a PSI test center, and CSLB allows 3.5 hours for each examination. CSLB does not publish a public question count or a numeric passing score for the C-7 exam; you are told the passing percentage at the test site. Test2Pro is online, self-paced prep you use before that in-person appointment.

Is Test2Pro affiliated with CSLB?

No. Test2Pro is an independent exam-prep platform and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or an agent of CSLB.
