According to the Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors,
"The 'trade' examinations are based upon general working knowledge of the field in which
you wish to be licensed." In their study guides the Board states that the reference materials
listed "may NOT necessarily cover all information needed to pass the exam." The study
guide also states that "the reference list contains a representative sample of materials
that are available which contain information relavent to the examination."
