What each practice exam covers
A Nevada principal applicant takes a core exam, a separate exam on Nevada's laws and regulations relating to pest control, and an exam for each category (NAC 555.340). Operators take only the core and category exams, not the laws exam, so the Nevada law questions here go beyond what an operator is tested on. Each practice exam follows the federal core competencies every certifying agency must test (40 CFR 171.103), plus Nevada law from NRS Chapter 555 and NDA's rules (NAC Chapter 555).

Questions
What exam do these practice tests prepare me for?
The Nevada pest control principal core exam and laws and regulations exam (Nevada Department of Agriculture). Principal applicants pass a core exam, a separate Nevada laws and regulations exam and an exam for each category, with 70% on each; operators take only the core and category exams and need 65% (NAC 555.340; NDA Pest Control Licensing Guide).
How are the real Nevada core and laws exams set up?
NDA gives the exams by appointment at its offices, including Las Vegas and Sparks; a failed exam is retaken after 10 days for principals or 7 days for operators, and only the failed exam is retaken (NAC 555.340; NDA Pest Control FAQ). NDA doesn't publish the number of questions or the time limit.
