Illinois Roofing Exam


Well my partner and I took the IL roofing exam yesterday, WOW! We studied, had the books, had the practice tests, and were still clueless. The test consisted of some of the most useless information. All the important points noted in the books---not on there. The only way to pass the test would be to memorize the books word for word. We have been doing business for over 20years and we felt absolutely stupid after this. Just a heads up for you other guys DON'T GET THE $99.00 PRACTICE TESTS FROM AMERICAN CONTRACTORS---WHAT A WASTE! There was not one question even remotely close on the IL exam. Every person we talked to afterward was just floored. There were people with more experience than us and they felt the same way. This is another perfect example of the "great" state of IL and how they do business. We now see it is all a scam by the state to keep you coming back for that entry fee. Pretty good idea to earn a good crooked days pay!

Re: Illinois Roofing Exam


I totally agree with you! my only hope is that next time question will be close, otherwise I'm doomed... You have to know the books from desk to desk an also be very, very, very carefuly, because of lot of tricky question. They can realy making very complicated easy and simple things that you know from expirience or from the books...
