Illinois’ first roofing exam prep school. Thousands of contractors licensed since 2010.
Class Ends. The Exam Is Days Later. What You Do That Week Decides It.
You leave with all the course materials and books, yours to keep. We make sure of that. But reading notes on your own is where most contractors stall out. It is the hardest week of the whole process, and every other school leaves you to it alone. First Try fills that week. On top of everything you already have, you get real practice questions to drill every night, right up to exam day.
Simple to Use. Log In and Practice.
Unlimited Practice Questions
Drill real exam style questions in sets of 5, 10, 15, or 20. See the right answer, watch your scores climb, and keep going until it is second nature. There is always another set waiting.
Lesson by Lesson Review
Every unit from class, broken down step by step, so you can revisit whatever did not click the first time and ask questions along the way.
Flashcards
The key numbers and terms you have to know cold on exam day, ready for you to test yourself anytime, on any unit.
Three Steps. No Tech Headaches.

Our First Class Put It to Work.
From our first pilot class. Figures reflect practice inside the tool by students who practiced consistently, not official state exam results.
The Reps Are What Did It.
“This was my third time trying to pass. Practicing the questions over and over is what finally made the difference.”
“I felt a lot more prepared this time. I could go over the questions and see the right answers.”
“I saw concepts in there that showed up on the actual exam.”
We Do Not Teach the Same Class Twice.
We see exactly where students struggle, and we sharpen the course around it. We have made this course better every cycle since we taught Illinois’ first one in 2010. Most schools run the same class on repeat. We keep improving ours, so you get the version that works.
It Comes With the Course. No Extra Charge.
Every roofing student gets First Try, included. You get access the week after class, right through exam day. Just log in with the email you registered with, on your computer or your phone. No apps, no setup, nothing to figure out.
The Get Licensed Guarantee.
Do your part, and we’ll get you licensed. If you don’t pass, you’re welcome back to class free, as many times as it takes, for a full year, until you do. First Try gets you ready, and this is how we back it.
