Exam structure, topics, study areas and official resources.
The B-7 Residential Remodeling exam is the trade half of a Nevada remodeling license; the Contractor Management Survey (CMS) is the other half, and every NSCB applicant takes it. PSI's Nevada "B" bulletin sets the B-7 format: 50 questions, a minimum passing score of 35, 2 hours, open book with the 2018 International Residential Code and 29 CFR 1926. Practice it in the free sample above: no sign-up, with a written explanation on every question.
The Nevada State Contractors Board requires every applicant, in every classification, to pass the Contractor Management Survey — the business-and-law exam — in addition to the trade exam. PSI's Nevada "B" bulletin gives the CMS 60 scored questions, a minimum passing score of 45 and 120 minutes; the B-7 Residential Remodeling trade exam gets 50 questions, a minimum passing score of 35 and 2 hours. One examination portion costs $95 and two portions $140. A candidate who tests unsuccessfully waits 2 weeks before retaking each portion, and a third failure voids the application — you then re-apply directly with the Board.
B-7 is open book, and the bulletin allows two titles in the exam center: the International Residential Code for One- and Two-Family Dwellings, 2018 edition, and 29 CFR Part 1926 (OSHA) — the government edition or PSI's 29 CFR 1926 Selections. That second title matters: on the B-2 exam the OSHA book is not allowed in the room, on B-7 it is, so the six Safety questions are lookups too. You may highlight, underline and index the books before the session but never write in them; only permanent tabs are allowed, Post-It notes must be removed, and no additional papers, loose or attached, come in. For code questions the exam is based only on the edition listed — the 2018 IRC — so tab that edition. The bulletin's reference list also names trade books the questions were written from, among them the USG Gypsum Construction Handbook and Carpentry and Building Construction; those stay at home.
PSI publishes six areas summing to 50 questions, and the biggest is not carpentry: Drywall and Finishes carries 15 — almost a third of the exam — then Carpentry 12, Thermal and Moisture Protection 7, Safety 6, Windows and Doors 5, and Estimating and Plan Reading 5. Read it as a plan. Gypsum board lives in IRC section R702, framing in chapters 5, 6 and 8 with decks in R507, insulation in chapter 11 (Table N1102.1.2 for R-values), safety glazing in R308, escape openings in R310 and egress doors and stairs in R311. Fall protection is Subpart M of 29 CFR 1926, ladders 1926.1053 and scaffolds Subpart L.
B-7 is a subclassification of the B General Building classification. The bulletin's scope of work describes it as remodeling and improving an existing, detached single-family residence or single-family residential unit, in a structure no more than three stories above ground and one story below. The same paragraph draws the line: it does not authorize a B-7 licensee to increase the existing enclosed space of the home. If additions are part of the work you sell, look at a broader classification such as B-2 Residential & Small Commercial — an 80-question, 3-hour exam with a longer book list.
You test on a computer at a PSI center in Nevada and PSI forwards the result to the Board. The bulletin lists NV B-7 Residential Remodeling - Spanish among the exams offered in English and Spanish; to switch you call PSI at (855) 205-5827 or email examschedule@psionline.com. Registration fees are not refundable or transferable and expire with your eligibility, and applicants submit fingerprints for a state and national criminal history record. Applications, classifications, monetary limits and bonds are Board territory and are covered by the CMS — see the Nevada CMS practice test.
The full LICENA Nevada B-7 course is 500 questions across five blocks. At 30 questions a day that is under three weeks: one pass to find the gaps, a second pass on the blocks you missed, then the timed final at 50 questions in 2 hours — about two and a half minutes per question. That is enough time to look things up only if you know where to look, so tab R308, R310, R311, R507, R602, R702 and Table N1102.1.2 early, and in the OSHA book Subpart M and 1926.1053. Drywall and finishes are a third of the exam, so give the gypsum block real time; the California C-9 drywall practice test works the same material from the California side, and the California B-2 residential remodeling practice test covers the same kind of license there.
