# Carpentry (Residential) Assessment

## Description

The test evaluates candidates and employees across key areas including Framing, Lumber, Materials, and Fasteners, Measurement, Layout, and Blueprint Reading, Doors, Windows, and Trim Installation, Tools and Their Safe Operation, and Residential Building Codes and Standards. The assessment measures skill-based knowledge through a variety of question formats, including Essay Composition, Multiple Choice, and Multiple Correct Answer questions.
