How it works
- Tell us your state, trade, and exam type (trade, Business & Law, NASCLA, or both)
- Set your exam date and weekly study hours
- Get a timeline matched to 7, 14, 30, or 60 days — with a starting-point book list, study order, and tabbing tips when your exam is open-book
- Print your checklist, download as PDF, or jump to a matching practice exam
Tip: take the weakness quiz first to personalize your plan, or pick by time until exam to skip the date picker. See state starter plans for Florida, California, North Carolina, and Arizona.
