Hi Everyone! Looking For Some Help


Hi everyone! another newbe here, mid west centered also
I have been in construction since out of high school ( several years) and am now needing an Illinois roofing license. I caught several posts in another forum about the difficulty in passing the test. I have also read that the $99.00 study was worthless. Well......... call me a glutton for punishment but I would really like to know the web address to this site that offers this study guide and any other info that someone might have to offer. It seems that I have more job offers for roofing in my local area and I need this license. Thanks rfox

Well, I always say
1) read the material
2) Each time you read something that you think may make a good question, write it down in YOUR own words
3) After you read then write all the material then re write it into question form
4) Double the questions of the known test
5) take your own test untill you get it all right
6) take test, most answers will pop into mind

This is because you have read them, then wrote it once, then wrote it again in a question form, then re read it whilst taking your own made up test. Thats how I pass all mine!

Re: Hi Everyone! Looking For Some Help


read, study, then read again, then study again, then study some more, and then have a big breakfast before you take the test to get the brain working.
