Prepare for the Mississippi Carpentry and Framing contractor examination with a coordinated rental collection of trade and business-law references. This package is designed for experienced carpenters, qualifying parties, construction professionals, and business owners who need access to the listed books for exam preparation without purchasing the complete reference library.
The Mississippi Carpentry and Framing classification covers rough carpentry, finish carpentry, framing, formwork, drywall, insulation, siding, windows, doors, stairs, cabinetry, truss work, and related wood-product installation. Preparing for this classification requires knowledge of practical construction methods, federal safety regulations, building-code provisions, gypsum systems, wood-truss bracing, finish work, and cabinet construction.
Every rental book in this package is highlighted and permanently tabbed. The highlighting identifies important definitions, construction procedures, safety rules, code provisions, diagrams, and technical information. Permanent tabs provide organized navigation points for major chapters and subject areas, helping candidates practice locating information efficiently during an open-book examination.
The rental package cost is $795. A separate $400 refundable deposit is required. The deposit is refundable when the complete book set is returned within six months from the date the books are received and remains in similar condition. The total amount due is $1,195.
Please allow up to 15 business days for book and course rental package orders. This preparation period allows the complete reference collection to be assembled, highlighted, permanently tabbed, reviewed, and prepared for delivery.

The Mississippi Carpentry and Framing examination is part of the contractor licensing process administered by the Mississippi State Board of Contractors. Applicants must submit the appropriate contractor application and receive authorization before scheduling the trade examination through PSI.
The examination contains 60 questions. Candidates are allowed 2 hours to complete the test and must earn a minimum score of 70 percent to pass.
The examination content is divided among the following subject areas:
Rough carpentry and formwork represent the largest portion of the examination. Candidates should prepare for questions involving construction layout, floor systems, wall framing, roof framing, sheathing, structural members, fasteners, temporary supports, concrete forms, bracing, trusses, openings, and standard field practices.
Finish carpentry is another major examination area. Preparation should include doors, windows, trim, moldings, paneling, stairs, railings, cabinetry, hardware, fitting, measurement, joinery, and installation techniques. Candidates may need to interpret diagrams and identify the appropriate method for completing detailed interior or exterior woodwork.
The drywall portion can involve gypsum panel products, framing systems, ceilings, partitions, fasteners, joint treatment, finishing, fire-resistant assemblies, sound-control systems, handling, and installation. Safety preparation should include fall protection, ladders, scaffolds, power tools, personal protective equipment, electrical hazards, material handling, and other OSHA requirements relevant to carpentry work.
Mississippi applicants must also complete the Mississippi Law and Business Management examination unless an applicable licensing exception changes the requirement. The included NASCLA Mississippi guide supports preparation for licensing, estimating, bidding, contracts, project management, financial practices, business organization, labor responsibilities, safety, and regulatory compliance.
The Mississippi Carpentry and Framing examination is an open-book test. Candidates may bring permitted references into the PSI testing center when the books comply with current examination rules.
Open-book testing still requires careful preparation. The Carpentry reference collection contains extensive construction details, technical diagrams, safety regulations, code provisions, installation instructions, and material information. Candidates who are unfamiliar with the books may spend too much time choosing a reference or searching through the wrong chapter.
Reference books may be highlighted, underlined, and indexed before the examination. Permanent tabs may be used to identify chapters, code sections, tables, and technical subjects. Temporary tabs, removable notes, loose papers, and Post-it-style markers are not permitted. Candidates may not write in their references during the examination session.
The rental books in this package arrive highlighted and permanently tabbed. The prepared format gives candidates an organized starting point for reviewing rough carpentry, finish carpentry, drywall, trusses, cabinetry, construction safety, building codes, and Mississippi contractor business law.
Candidates should still learn how each reference is organized. Review every table of contents, index, chapter arrangement, glossary, diagram section, appendix, and technical table. The tabs can direct a candidate to a major subject, but the applicable paragraph, illustration, code exception, or table note must still be read carefully.
Timed searches should be part of the preparation process. Select a practice question, identify its main subject, choose the most likely reference, open the appropriate tab, and locate the supporting information. Repeating this process can improve familiarity with the books and reduce random searching on test day.
The Mississippi contractor licensing process begins with an application to the Mississippi State Board of Contractors. Candidates cannot schedule the required examinations until the Board receives the application, completes its initial review, and sends the qualifying party’s eligibility information to PSI.
This product is a book rental package. It does not include an online exam prep course, application service, business formation, EIN filing, or contractor compliance services. Applicants remain responsible for completing the licensing application and satisfying all state requirements.
The Mississippi State Board of Contractors identifies Carpentry and Framing as a test-required specialty classification. The classification includes construction, maintenance, and repair work involving framing, rough carpentry, finish carpentry, formwork, and related specialties.
The classified scope can include subflooring, wood floors, roof decking, framing systems, truss members, sheathing, siding, soffit, fascia, staircases, stair railings, treads, risers, handrails, paneling, trim, cabinetry, windows, doors, drywall, insulation, and incidental hardware.
The classification can also include pergolas, decks, and gazebos when the work falls within the applicable building-code scope. Contractors should perform only work authorized by the classification and any additional credentials required for a particular project.
The application must identify a qualifying party who satisfies the examination requirement for the business. The applicant must establish the qualifying party’s relationship with the company through the documentation accepted by the Board.
Applicants must provide the licensing and business records required for their application type. These can include entity-registration documents, financial information, insurance records, tax identification, professional references, construction experience, and qualifying-party documentation.
The legal business name should remain consistent across the contractor application, entity-registration records, insurance documents, financial information, tax records, bids, permits, and contracts. Incomplete or inconsistent information can delay testing authorization or final licensing review.
The following highlighted and permanently tabbed references are included in the six-month rental package:
A practical study plan should devote the greatest amount of time to rough carpentry, formwork, and finish carpentry. Begin with layout, measurement, floor systems, wall framing, roof construction, sheathing, structural members, fasteners, formwork, temporary supports, and bracing.
Finish-carpentry preparation should include trim, moldings, doors, windows, stairs, railings, cabinetry, paneling, hardware, fitting, joining, and installation. Use the illustrated cabinet and furniture reference to study case construction, frames, panels, drawers, doors, joints, and assembly methods.
Drywall preparation should cover gypsum panel types, framing, ceilings, partitions, fasteners, joints, finishing methods, fire-resistant assemblies, sound control, storage, handling, and installation procedures. Connect these subjects with applicable building-code and safety requirements.
Truss preparation should include delivery, unloading, storage, lifting, placement, temporary restraint, permanent bracing, and jobsite stability. Candidates should understand the importance of following truss design documents and maintaining proper restraint during installation.
Use the International Building Code regularly. Become familiar with its definitions, chapter structure, tables, exceptions, structural provisions, interior-finish requirements, safeguards, accessibility rules, and means-of-egress provisions relevant to carpentry work.
Safety study should include fall protection, ladders, scaffolds, power tools, personal protective equipment, material handling, electrical hazards, formwork, and other conditions encountered during carpentry operations. Study the applicable OSHA material alongside practical jobsite procedures.
Practice questions should be treated as navigation exercises. Identify the key technical term, select the most likely reference, open the appropriate tab, and verify the answer from the supporting material. Repeat difficult searches until the correct book and section become easier to recognize.
Contractor Exam Prep helps Mississippi Carpentry candidates begin with a complete and organized rental reference collection. Instead of locating each publication separately, customers receive the listed trade and business-law books together in one coordinated package.
The highlighted and tabbed books support trade-focused review across framing, formwork, trusses, finish carpentry, drywall, siding, insulation, doors, windows, stairs, cabinetry, building codes, construction safety, and contractor business law.
Reference-navigation practice is essential for an open-book examination. Candidates can use the prepared books to learn chapter structures, recognize index terminology, interpret diagrams, locate code provisions, and verify answers to practice questions.
The six-month rental period provides a defined preparation window. Candidates can begin with broad content review, move into focused reference searches, and finish with mixed-topic exercises that require switching between several books.
Highlighted and tabbed books do not replace field experience or consistent study. Their purpose is to provide an organized reference system that supports technical review, practice-oriented preparation, and greater familiarity with the permitted exam materials.
The total consists of the $795 rental package cost and a $400 refundable deposit. The package includes the complete highlighted and permanently tabbed rental book set listed on this page.
