Prepare for the Mississippi Structural Steel contractor licensing process with one coordinated package that combines trade exam preparation, Mississippi business and law preparation, professionally highlighted and permanently tabbed reference books, contractor application assistance, and essential business setup services.
The 1 Package is designed for contractors and qualifying individuals who want more than a basic study course or a collection of books. It brings the major parts of the licensing and business setup process into one organized solution, helping candidates move from exam preparation toward application completion and professional business operation.
The package supports preparation for the Mississippi Structural Steel trade examination and the Mississippi Law and Business Management examination. It includes the current PSI-listed technical references, the Mississippi NASCLA business and law guide, one year of course access, Application Service, business formation assistance, EIN filing, and contractor compliance guidance.
Every included book is professionally highlighted and permanently tabbed. Important safety rules, technical procedures, installation practices, field requirements, definitions, tables, and business topics are marked to support focused review. Permanent tabs create a practical navigation system that can help candidates move through the approved references more efficiently while studying and during an authorized open-book examination.
The Mississippi Structural Steel classification involves the erection, placement, and installation of structural and reinforcing steel. The scope includes steel decks, joists, girders, reinforcing bars, post-tensioning work, and related fabrication, riveting, welding, and rigging performed as part of structural steel operations.
Total Package Cost: $1,745
Refundable Book Deposit: $300
Total Due: $2,045 — All-Inclusive, No Hidden Fees!
The $300 deposit is refundable when the books are returned in similar condition within one year. The books should be returned with their covers, pages, bindings, highlighting, and permanent tabs intact. Missing pages, removed tabs, excessive damage, water exposure, or unauthorized writing may affect the return condition.
Please allow up to 15 business days for The 1 Package book orders.
The Mississippi Structural Steel contractor examination is administered by PSI after the Mississippi State Board of Contractors establishes the candidate’s eligibility. Applicants must complete the appropriate contractor license application before scheduling the examination.
The Structural Steel examination contains 60 questions. Candidates receive 2 hours to complete the test and must earn a minimum score of 70 percent to pass.
The examination content includes several technical areas related to structural steel work:
Steel joists and joist girders represent a major part of the trade exam. Candidates should devote focused study time to erection sequences, bridging requirements, stability, handling, hoisting, placement, and connection procedures. Reinforcing steel, post-tensioning, steel decks, and safety should also receive dedicated preparation.
The examination may include questions developed from the listed references as well as questions based on accepted industry practices and practical trade knowledge. Candidates should understand the subject matter rather than relying entirely on locating each answer during the test.
The Mississippi State Board of Contractors also requires applicants to complete the Mississippi Law and Business Management examination. The included NASCLA Mississippi guide supports preparation for contractor business operations, project administration, contracts, financial practices, licensing responsibilities, and related topics.
The Mississippi Structural Steel examination is an open-book test. Candidates may bring the authorized references into the examination center, subject to PSI’s current testing rules.
Approved references may be highlighted, underlined, and indexed before the examination. Permanent tabs are allowed. Temporary tabs, removable notes, loose papers, and unauthorized attached materials are not permitted. Candidates may not write in the books during the examination.
The books in The 1 Package arrive professionally highlighted and permanently tabbed. The preparation helps organize a technical reference set covering OSHA construction safety, post-tensioning, reinforcing-bar placement, steel joist and girder erection, steel-deck construction, and Mississippi contractor business law.
An open-book exam still requires technical knowledge and time management. With 60 questions and two hours available, candidates have an average of approximately two minutes per question. Searching randomly through several references can quickly consume valuable testing time.
Candidates should practice identifying the subject before opening a book. Questions involving steel-erection safety may require 29 CFR Part 1926. Questions involving reinforcing-bar supports, placement, or field practices may require Placing Reinforcing Bars. Joist and girder questions may lead to Technical Digest No. 9, while deck questions may require the Steel Deck Institute manual.
Use the permanent tabs together with each book’s table of contents, index, section headings, illustrations, diagrams, and technical terminology. Repeated navigation practice can help candidates recognize which reference applies and locate information more efficiently.
The Mississippi State Board of Contractors regulates commercial and residential contractors and specialty classifications. Structural Steel is a tested specialty classification.
The classification covers the erection, placement, and installation of structural and reinforcing steel. It includes steel decks, joists, and girders, along with fabrication, riveting, welding, and rigging performed in connection with structural steel work.
Applicants must submit the appropriate contractor license application before testing. The Board reviews the classification request, business information, qualifying-party details, experience, insurance, and supporting documents before establishing examination eligibility.
Each company seeking licensure must designate a qualifying individual. The qualifying individual completes the required examinations and must maintain the relationship with the licensed company required by the Board. Documentation may be required to establish ownership, officer status, employment, or another acceptable connection to the business.
The applicant must complete all examinations assigned by the Board and satisfy the remaining licensing requirements. Purchasing The 1 Package, completing a course, or passing an examination does not independently create a Mississippi contractor license.
After licensing, the contractor must operate within the Structural Steel classification and maintain current business and qualifying-party information. Changes involving the company, ownership, qualifier, address, or business status should be handled through the appropriate Board process.
All included books are professionally highlighted and permanently tabbed. They must be returned in similar condition within one year for the $300 deposit to be refunded.
The following technical references are included for use with the Mississippi Structural Steel trade examination:
The NASCLA Contractor’s Guide to Business, Law and Project Management, Mississippi, 6th Edition is included for the Mississippi Law and Business Management examination.
Candidates should bring only the references authorized for the examination scheduled that day. Books may be inspected before admission to the testing room. Loose papers, removable notes, temporary tabs, and unauthorized inserts are not allowed.
Build your preparation around the primary trade subjects. Give substantial attention to steel joists and girders, including handling, erection sequences, bridging, stability, placement, connections, and safe installation practices.
Use the post-tensioning reference to study tendon materials, installation procedures, stressing operations, anchors, field handling, safety, and inspection. Use Placing Reinforcing Bars to review bar supports, ties, spacing, drawings, placement, fabrication, and field procedures.
Use 29 CFR Part 1926 to review OSHA steel-erection rules and general construction safety. Connect the requirements to practical work involving elevated operations, rigging, hoisting, decking, structural stability, fall exposure, personal protective equipment, and material handling.
Use Technical Digest No. 9 to review joist and joist-girder handling, bridging, erection, temporary stability, and connections. Use the Steel Deck Institute manual to study deck placement, fastening, attachment, supports, openings, storage, and safe installation.
Complete practice questions under timed conditions. Before opening a book, identify the subject and select the reference most likely to contain the information. Review missed questions to determine whether the problem involved technical knowledge, reference selection, interpretation, or time management.
Contractor Exam Prep supports Mississippi Structural Steel candidates through organized study guidance, trade-focused review, practice-oriented preparation, and reference-navigation training. The package brings the exam resources, licensing support, and business setup services together in one coordinated solution.
The highlighted and permanently tabbed books reduce the work normally required to prepare a multi-book open-book reference set. Candidates can begin studying with visible navigation points for post-tensioning, reinforcing steel, steel-erection safety, decks, joists, girders, and contractor business topics.
The one-year course structure helps divide the material into manageable areas and provides time to revisit difficult subjects. Practice-oriented preparation helps candidates apply information, locate answers, interpret requirements, and build a practical strategy for the open-book exam.
Application Service helps organize the contractor licensing paperwork process. Business formation assistance, EIN filing, and contractor compliance guidance help connect exam preparation with the administrative steps involved in establishing a professional structural steel contracting business.
No course or package guarantees a passing examination score, contractor license, state approval, or business outcome. The 1 Package provides organized preparation, professionally prepared books, application support, and business services designed around the Mississippi Structural Steel licensing process.
The package includes six highlighted and permanently tabbed books, one year of course access, trade and business-law exam preparation, Application Service, LLC or corporation formation assistance, EIN filing, and contractor compliance guidance.
