You spent years on the job. The license is the last thing standing between you and the projects you should already be running. Walk into the PSI Business and Law exam unprepared and you pay the $96 retest fee, lose another month waiting for an open slot, and watch competitors take the bids that should be yours. This guide closes the gap. It mirrors the exact PSI Alabama exam structure — same 50-question format, same domain weighting, same difficulty curve — so you walk in knowing what is coming. INSIDE THIS BOOK • 20 full-length simulation exams — 8 inside the book plus 12 more on the companion website, every one mirroring PSI's exact format and domain weighting • 1,000 practice questions — drilled across all eleven domains the exam actually tests • Alabama Licensing Board playbook — QP requirements, bid limits, and the 60-day designation rule that kills more licenses than any other mistake • Federal payroll tax mastery — Form 941, Form 940, FICA, FUTA, the 0.9% Medicare surtax, and the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty that reaches officers personally • Mechanic's lien windows decoded — the 6-month original contractor deadline and the 4-month materialman deadline that forfeit liens forever if missed • Contracts deep-dive — Statute of Frauds, termination for cause versus convenience, pay-if-paid clauses, and the CCD mechanism for changed work • Estimating and bidding chapter — bid bonds, performance bonds, and the Alabama bid mistake doctrine that saves contractors from a single keystroke error • Financial management framework — working capital, percentage-of-completion, WIP schedules, and exactly what sureties look for before they bond you • Labor thresholds spelled out — Title VII at 15, ADEA at 20, ADA at 15, FMLA at 50, and the FLSA overtime math that trips up most contractors • OSHA reporting clocks — the 8-hour fatality rule and the 24-hour hospitalization rule, both running from employer knowledge, both unforgiving • Risk and insurance breakdown — CGL, builders' risk, workers' comp, and the mutual waivers of subrogation buried in standard contracts • Project management essentials — CPM scheduling, substantial completion triggers, and retainage release timing • Bonus Online Exam Simulator and 500+ Digital Flashcards — scan the QR code for interactive timed practice and on-the-go review Built for the contractor who cannot afford to fail twice — first-time candidates, working professionals upgrading their license, and anyone who walked out of the test once knowing they need a real plan. Pass and you unlock commercial work above $50,000, public bidding rights, and the bonding capacity that growth requires. Miss and you wait another month, pay another $96, and explain to your customers why their project is on hold. Scroll up, add this book to your cart, and start the only preparation built around the real exam.
