Questions
What exam do these practice tests prepare me for?
The Rhode Island commercial pesticide applicator licensing (core) exam (Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management, Division of Agriculture). New commercial applicators pass the closed-book commercial licensing exam, which covers the general standards for all categories, before they can register for an open-book commercial certificate (category) exam (RIDEM; 250-RICR-40-15-2.8).
How is the real Rhode Island commercial licensing exam set up?
The commercial licensing exam is taken online, and applicants must be at least 18 (RIDEM; 250-RICR-40-15-2.17). RIDEM doesn't publish the number of questions, the time allowed or the passing score.
