The booklet is put out by the EPA I think, so it really doesn't vary state by state. The EPA is a federal agency.

read the book, read labels, know some math. Take the class before the test.

There are 2 test you will need to take. Core and Category. There is also an experience requirement that can be met with a degree or another 2 day class. The test are easy but about 40% fail on the first try because of inadequate preparation.

The Core you should be able to pass with common sense alone... The 3b is super easy if you know anything about lawn care. If you can't pass it, you definitely need more knowledge before you start offering your services professionally.....
