How the Texas pesticide applicator exam works
Anyone who applies restricted use or state limited use pesticides in Texas, or applies pesticides for hire, needs a license from the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA). You pass the General Standards exam and at least one category exam, then apply for the license.
The General Standards exam has 100 multiple choice questions in 2 hours and is closed book. You need 70 percent to pass. It covers labels, safety, the environment, pests, equipment, calibration and Texas laws and rules. Each attempt costs $64.
This site is an independent exam trainer. The license itself is issued by TDA, not by us. Our questions are our own, written from the EPA certification standards and Texas law.

The complete question catalog
All 401 questions that could come up, each with the correct answer. You learn exactly what gets asked.
For every question you see how often others get it wrong and which answer they mix it up with. That way you spot the traps.
Test simulation like the real thing
100 questions, 120 minutes, graded like the real test: at least 70 correct answers out of 100 (70 percent).
Every round is shuffled anew. Afterwards you see right away whether you would have passed and what is still missing.
Practice that adapts to you
The trainer remembers what you already know. Wrong answers come back until they stick, and a question only counts as learned once you have answered it correctly several times with time in between.
You can also practice individual topics or just your weak spots.
Your plan until the test
Enter your test date and the trainer spreads the questions across the remaining days. That way a small round waits for you every day instead of cramming everything the last evening.
Your progress shows you at any time when you are ready for the test.
Short videos to swipe
Learn like on Instagram or TikTok: Every question comes as a short video, you tap your answer and swipe to the next one. Whatever you got wrong shows up more often.
Ideal for in between, on the train or on a break.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions are on the Texas General Standards exam?
100 multiple choice questions in 2 hours, closed book. A few unscored pretest questions may be added. You need 70 percent to pass, and a passing score stays valid for 12 months.
What does the exam cost?
Each exam attempt costs $64 at the testing provider. If you fail, you can retest after 24 hours and pay the fee again. License fees are separate: $200 a year for a commercial license.
Are these the real exam questions?
No. the Texas Department of Agriculture does not publish its exam questions. All questions here are our own, written from the EPA core competency standards (40 CFR 171.103) and Texas pesticide law.
Do I get my license here?
No. This site only helps you prepare. Licenses are issued by the Texas Department of Agriculture after you pass the exams. We are not affiliated with the agency or its testing provider.
Do you cover the category exams?
Not yet. This trainer covers the core exam that every applicator must pass. Category exams such as agricultural plant, right of way or turf and ornamental follow the same label, safety and calibration basics.
Do you have pesticide license practice tests for other states?
Yes. Every state runs its own applicator exam with its own state law part, so each one has its own trainer: North Carolina, Ohio and Illinois.
