California PCA Exam Helper: Knowledge Expectations
The information that you will be expected to know to pass the exams is included in the knowledge
expectations. Knowledge expectations define the basic background information PCAs
need to make a pest control recommendation in a specific licensing category.
Meeting knowledge expectations will require recalling facts, comprehending information, applying knowledge,
and analyzing situations. All PCAs will be expected to meet specified knowledge expectations for integrated
pest management. Knowledge of IPM will be tested in the general principles/laws
and regulations exam as well
as in the individual licensing categories.
Use knowledge expectations to study and prepare for the licensing exams. If you can answer all of the questions
listed in the knowledge expectations, you are probably ready for the exam.
Information needed to meet the knowledge expectations for each licensing area is contained in the study materials
recommended on the DPR Web site:
