SCHEDULING BY PHONE

To schedule for an examination by phone, candidates

should contact Prov toll free at 866-720-7768. Prov

scheduling staff is available 8:00 a.m. through 6:00 p.m.

ET, Monday through Friday.

Candidates should be prepared to provide the Prov

scheduling staff with their name, Prov Candidate ID and

their zip code.

Once Prov confirms the candidate’s identity, Prov staff

will search the database for the next available testing

session at the candidate’s preferred testing location

and will provide candidates with any alternate

locations that may be in close proximity to their

address.

Once candidates are scheduled, Prov staff will email

them information regarding their testing schedule.

CANCEL/RESCHEDULING POLICY

If you need to change or cancel their testing

appointment, you must contact Prov at least three (3)

business days prior to your scheduled test date.

Rescheduling is free if Prov is notified by the deadline.

If you fail to appear for their test or fail to cancel or

reschedule your testing session by the close of business

three days prior to their scheduled test date, you will

forfeit your exam fees.

PREPARING FOR YOUR EXAMS

Prov recommends that you prepare for your exam by

familiarizing yourself with the subject areas listed in

each exam description. Additionally, familiarize

yourself with the reference materials that are allowed

during the examination. The more time you spend

outside of the testing room studying, the less time you

will need to spend in the testing room trying to location

information. You are encouraged to prepare your test

materials by highlighting text or placing permanent

tabs on important pages.

It is NOT mandatory that candidates purchase any

study materials in preparation for their examinations;

however, all examinations permit the use of authorized

study materials and candidates may be at a

disadvantage if they do not bring those materials with

them to their testing session. At a minimum Prov

recommends that candidates have their own code

books related to their exams which may be useful to

candidates after their testing is complete.

license, passport, or military ID.

You will also be required to sign a test center log and

cannot produce a valid government-issued photo ID,

refuse to participate in signing the test center log, or

refuse to be photographed, you will be dismissed from

the testing center and forfeit all testing fees for that

testing session.

If you do not have a photo ID, you may still present a

valid State driver’s license without a photo, a State ID

card without a photo that is issued by the DMV, or a

birth certificate.

▪ Highlighting & underlining in pen only

Collier County Florida Contractor Examinations Candidate Information Bulletin

Collier County FL CIB_2022.12.08 © Prov, Inc. 2022 Page

▪ Attaching permanent tabs

Reference materials which do not meet the following

guidelines will not be allowed in the testing room.

These guidelines are in place to ensure that every

access to unapproved resources.

▪ Handwritten notes are NOT allowed in any

portion of a reference book.

▪ Moveable tabs are NEVER permitted in a

reference book.

▪ A reference book CANNOT contain Post-it notes.

▪ Photocopied documents CANNOT be added to a

reference book.

▪ Photocopied versions of a reference book are

NEVER permitted.

▪ Test preparation study guides are NOT approved

will be confiscated, your testing will be terminated with

fees forfeited, and the Department will be notified of

your dismissal from the exam. During the testing

process you MAY NOT:

▪ Share reference materials during testing.

▪ Highlight, underline, mark or write any kind of

information in their reference materials during

testing.

Visitor Policy

No one other than the candidate will be allowed in the

testing room. Non-testing visitors are NOT permitted

to wait in the lobby while candidates test.

Unethical Conduct Policy

Any individual caught giving or receiving assistance

during or after the examination or caught using

unauthorized materials during the examination will be

reported directly to the Department. Those caught in

the act of cheating will be dismissed from the

examination and their testing results will be frozen.

Furthermore, the candidate will forfeit the examination

fees paid. Finally, anyone caught with test questions in

their possession, either during or following the

examination will be prosecuted by Prov for theft of

copyrighted testing materials.

RESULTS REPORTING

Upon completion of a test, if your local jurisdiction

allows you to be provided a score, you will be given a

score result while at the testing center. There is no

charge for the on-site scoring and tests will be scored

within one minute.

Candidates participating in this testing program can

also access their scores at any time (24/7) online by

going to our website at www.provexam.com.

If your local jurisdiction does not allow your score to be

provided at this time, you will have to wait for your

jurisdiction to notify you of your score.

Because the testing process is a requirement for

licensure with the cities/counties in the State of Florida,

candidates automatically consent to permit Prov to

share their test results with their local licensing Board.

RETESTING POLICY

Failed examinations can be retaken according to local

licensing jurisdiction rules. Candidates cannot retake

an exam once they have passed that exam unless

required by their jurisdiction. Candidates must wait

two days between examination attempts before

rescheduling.

testing results by allowing them to see which questions

were missed.

Candidates may request a review of their exam after

failing an exam category two (2) times. To be eligible

for a review, candidates must score within 10% of the

required 75% passing score. The review for all tests is

1-1/2 hours in length. During the review candidates

will be provided with the questions they missed, and

the answers chosen in response to those questions.

The review will be conducted under the same testing

conditions as the exam using the same test security

rules.

The cost of the review is $80.00 (includes tax) for each

test reviewed. Candidates will request or schedule a

review by contacting Prov directly at 866-720-7768.

Collier County Florida Contractor Examinations Candidate Information Bulletin

Collier County FL CIB_2022.12.08 © Prov, Inc. 2022 Page

EXAM CHALLENGE PROCESS

If during an exam or review, the candidates encounter

a question they think is inaccurate or otherwise

incorrect, they are encouraged to submit an Exam

Comment to Prov detailing why they feel the question

is in error. Candidates testing on computer may make

their comments in the testing system. Candidates who

are reviewing an exam will automatically be provided

with an Exam Comment form.

Prov staff will review each comment within two weeks

of submittal. Should any comment result in a change to

a test question and/or candidate score, Prov will report

the change to the Licensing Board. The Board will notify

the candidate of the score change and issue a new

result letter. Detailed answers to questions or

comments are not provided for test security purposes.

HAND SCORE REQUEST

Prov ensures the accuracy of our exam results. Our

computer system is designed to identify and report any

potential error in data collected from an exam session.

If you would like to have your score reassessed for

accuracy, you can request a Hand Score by calling Prov

at 1-866-720-7768 and asking for a Hand Score Request

Form. A Hand Score Request form requires a signature

and must be mailed to Prov. Forms must be received by

Prov no later than ninety (90) days after your

examination administration date and must be

accompanied by a copy of your original score letter.

Once a Hand Score is received, Prov Staff will process

the request within seven (7) to ten (10) business days.

During the Hand Score process a staff member will

ensure that your answers were properly recorded and

scored by comparing the captured answers to the exam

key. Upon completion of the Hand Score we will

provide a letter by mail to report the outcome of the

reassessment.

The cost of the hand score is $25.00 (includes tax).

PROV’S NON-DISCRIMINATION STATEMENT

Prov provides equal access to its exams and testing

programs for all eligible persons. Although individual

jurisdictions that Prov represents are wholly

responsible for determining eligibility of candidates, it

is the policy of Prov to maintain an environment free of

discrimination and to prohibit discrimination and

harassment against any person on the basis of race,

color, national origin, gender, religion, age, disability,

political beliefs, sexual orientation, and veteran,

marital or family status.

Harassment of Prov program participants, proctors,

staff or candidates will not be tolerated. If candidates

wish to express concerns about discrimination, they

should contact Prov at 866-720-7768 or write to: Prov,

Inc., 150 Civic Center Blvd, Suite 601 Sandy, Utah

84070.

SPECIAL ACCOMMODATIONS

Prov complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act

(ADA) in providing special accommodations for

candidates that require additional assistance during

the testing process.

If candidates feel that they qualify for a special

accommodation during testing, they should contact

Prov at (866) 720-7768. Prov will require written

documentation from a licensed physician or

psychologist documenting the disability and further

require a request describing the requested remedy.

Prov will then work directly with the candidates to

make the accommodations they will need in order to

complete their examination.

EXAM TEST SITE AVAILABILITY

You may take your examination at anyone of Prov’s

testing facilities nationwide. You can also take the

exam at home using Prov’s Examroom® service.

What is Examroom?

Examroom is a remote test monitoring service that

allows you to take the test on your own computer at

your home. You schedule the test the same way you

would an in-person testing site; by selecting your

preferred test date and time. Then, on test day, you log

into the Examroom website and request to start your

exam.

A test proctor will greet you over your computer, verify

your identity, take your picture, and observe you

throughout the testing process.

How to decide whether to use Examroom? Not every

computer system is capable of taking a test on

Examroom. The following are the MINIMUM

requirements that your computer system would need

in order to qualify to take the test using the Examroom

service:
