How many attempts I have to pass the final exam?

You have three attempts to pass the final exam; otherwise, you must take the course again (at an additional cost).

Do I need prior knowledge or experience about building permits and/or business licenses before taking this course?

No, you don´t need prior knowledge or experience.

Our study shows that the score for a person without knowledge or experience about building permits and/or business licenses will increase by over 55 points after taking the course and studying the material.

• Average score before taking the course: 24%

When a person with no prior knowledge of these fields attempts to answer questions without taking this course, they score an average of 24%. This indicates that the exam content is not intuitive for someone without experience in these fields and that answering correctly randomly would only lead to unsatisfactory results and failing the exam.

• Average score after taking the course: 79%

After taking this course and studying the material, performance improves dramatically, averaging 79%. This demonstrates that the course material provides a solid understanding of the building permits and business license fields, allowing students with no prior knowledge to obtain a much higher grade, and pass the exam with a satisfactory score.

Total improvement: 55%

Conclusion: This course is essential for a person with no prior experience in building permits and/or business licenses to get knowledge in these fields. The score difference of 55% highlights the importance of the course.

(Results are not guaranteed. The results are for an average IQ person in the U.S.)

Will this course help me if I already have experience and knowledge about building permits and/or business licenses?

Yes, it will help you.

Our study shows that a permit expeditor won´t pass the exam without taking this course and studying the material:

• Average score before taking the course: 74%

On average, people with experience in the building permit and business license fields score 74% on the exam without taking the course. This indicates that the content is relevant to professional practice, as those working in these fields can correctly answer a large portion of the questions based on their prior knowledge but still fail the final exam.

• Average score after taking the course: 95%

By taking this course and studying the material, students with previous knowledge in the building permit and business license fields improve their score to 95%, demonstrating that although they already have a high level of knowledge in these fields, the course continues to provide key information to refine their understanding and help them pass the exam and achieve near-perfect scores.

Total Improvement: 21%

Conclusion: For someone with a building permit and business license experience, the course is still useful, allowing them to solidify concepts and improve their accuracy on specific topics. The difference in scores is still significant enough to achieve near-perfect performance and pass the final exam.

The results demonstrate that by studying the course information, a person can become an expert in building permits and business licenses with more knowledge than an experienced permit expediter who has not taken the course.
