For this exam, candidates are required to focus their attentions on these topic areas: - Establishing the Contracting Business - Managing Administrative Duties - Managing Trade operations - Conducting Accounting Functions - Managing Human Resources - Complying with Federal Laws and Regulations The Business and Finance exam covers a wide range of fundamental topics related to the building and construction profession. There is no way you can pass the exam without having solid real world experience. Our notes give you knowledge, principles and concepts. To master the topics, you must be "in the field" - you need to go through the real world plans, the various contract documents and the various administrative paperworks all by yourself. And you need to know how the experts get things done. To succeed in the exam, you also need to read as many reference books as possible. There is no single book that can cover everything! An OPEN BOOK exam needs not be easy. If you do not know the concepts and facts, you will have a hard time searching for the right information. And if you need to browse through pages to look for an answer every time a new question is encountered, you will run out of time pretty fast. To succeed, you must learn enough so you can handle most questions on the spot. In case you have no choice but to search through the books you should make yourself capable of finding the needed information as quick as possible. This ExamFOCUS book focuses on the more difficult topics that will likely make a difference in exam results. The book is NOT intended to guide you through every single official topic. You should therefore use this book together with other reference books for the best possible preparation outcome.
