Utah Contractor‘s Business & Law Exam Study Guide

What’s Included

This study guide is organized to match the way topics appear on the Utah Contractors Business and Law exam.  Here is what is included in your download:

How to Use This Study Guide

Use these questions alongside your Utah NASCLA Contractor’s Guide to Business, Law and Project Management.  Read a section of the book, then work through the related practice questions to check your understanding.

Each question includes a reference to the section of the NASCLA book where the subject is discussed.  This helps you quickly review why the correct answer is right and reinforces the process of looking up information efficiently — a key skill for an open-book exam.

Bookmarks have been added throughout the study guide to help you:

Use the additional questions drawn from IRS Publication 15 (“Employer’s Tax Guide”, Circular E) to strengthen your coverage of payroll and tax topics that commonly appear on the Business & Law exam.
