Free CSLB Law and Business Practice Test

Updated September 2026

The fastest way to find out where you stand on the California Law and Business exam is to answer ten questions written the way the real test is written - and you can do that right now, free, with no signup.

The free round draws from the same 343-question bank our full course uses, and it touches all seven content areas CSLB tests.

What the free round includes

Ten fixed questions in the real exam's style: one clear question, four answer choices, one right answer. Some ask you to recall a rule, some hand you a job situation, and one makes you do quick math - adding labor and materials to see whether a job crosses the $1,000 license line.

Every question comes with an instant explanation and the source it comes from - a California code section, a Cal/OSHA rule, or the CSLB, EDD, IRS or USCIS page that states it.

How to use the sample

Take it cold and count your score. The point is not the number - it is finding out which kinds of questions trip you up. If you miss the ones with dollar figures and day counts, that is normal: those are exactly what a closed-book exam rewards memorizing.

Then read every explanation, including the ones you got right. The explanation tells you the rule AND the reason, and the reason is what makes the figure stick on test day.
