Virginia Class A License Part 3 Advanced?

I am getting ready to upgrade my Class B to a Class A license and have a couple questions about the Part 3-Advanced Portion test, if anyone can help...

Are the questions heavy towards the things like:

-ROI's
-Straight line vs. Accelerated tax method in depreciation
-Debt to Equity ratios
-General math, such as it takes two men 40 hours to complete
a task in 5 days, how many hours will it take yada yada yada?

-or do you just get a couple of those and generally get some Estimating,
Bidding, Safety, Lien laws, State taxes and the like?

I'm glad I found this forum, I have found a lot of good info here,
and any help on this would be appreciated!

Thanks,
John

Fricken Virgina and that ridiculous Contractors Board! I'll tell ya, when I moved out of there I was so happy to be done with that shark making the rules for the guppy BS I could cry.

They will ask the same questions with different numbers. The test is open book. If you can reference, then you should do just fine.
