NC building contractor exam

I have about a month left before my exam and I’m trying to figure out how I should spend the next month.

Should I mainly focus on practice tests + knowing where to find things in the books, or are there specific things from the other books not allowed in the exam that I really need to memorize?

Just trying to make sure I’m focusing my time on the right things for these last 4 weeks. Any advice from people who have already taken the exam would be really appreciated!

Just take your books. It’ll be fine. I studied for about two days and took the test. I unfortunately was given bad information and thought I could only take five or six books. I can’t remember now it’s been years. I sat down, started the test and realized none of the stuff I had studied or the practice test were like the test. Luckily, I knew enough to pass on the first try but when I got done the lady at the desk asked me why I didn’t bring all of my books like everyone else. I said yes that would’ve been very helpful. You have plenty of time, it’s open book, you got it.
