What LICENA is and how we write it

On the exam you meet questions you know, in wording you've never seen. If English is your second language, you lose points on the wording. We are Los Angeles contractors who passed our own exams in a second language, and we built LICENA for that problem.

What we don't do. We don't promise you'll pass, and no question bank can. We are not a school and have no tie to any state board. The real exam draws from a bigger pool and adds stress; you confirm you understand that before you activate a course. We don't copy real exams or other prep banks, and we don't invent reviews or numbers.

Construction banks hold 500 questions in five blocks of 100. We write them from scratch against official sources: CSLB, OSHA, EPA, DMV, FMCSA. Every answer explains why the right option is right, so a miss still teaches you something. Bilingual mode puts English beside Spanish or Russian, so you learn the trade and the exam wording together. The timed final runs in English only. We work in three languages today and will add more if demand is real and we can do them well.

How we build a bank:

1. We outline the official exam.
2. We write each question from the primary source and cite the section in its explanation.
3. We re-check every number against the source while writing.
4. We spread correct answers across A–D.
5. We check the Spanish and Russian against the English, number by number.

A public log in your cabinet records every bank change: the date, what changed and the sources. When you report a question, a person checks it against the source before we change anything.

OSHA construction safety, EPA 608, asbestos, NICET and backflow courses are free. Each paid bank starts with a 3-day free trial, then $9.99 for the first month and $19.99/month after. Open a free course and try a question.
