PrepPass has not verified whether CSLB — California Contractors State License Board publishes a pass rate for the CSLB Trade — General Building (B) exam, so we are not going to give you a percentage. Some exam authorities publish pass rates in annual or sunset-review reports rather than on their exam pages, and others genuinely publish none — until we have read the authority's own documents for this exam, we would only be guessing which it is. What we can tell you is that any exact "CSLB Trade — General Building (B) pass rate" figure you find on a prep site that does not cite an authority document is an unofficial estimate. Ask what it cites.

Is there a published CSLB Trade — General Building (B) pass rate?
We don't know, and we would rather say so than guess. PrepPass has not yet read CSLB — California Contractors State License Board's own publications for this exam, so we cannot tell you either that a pass rate exists or that one does not. Both claims are claims about the authority, and both need a source.
This matters more than it sounds. Pass rates often sit somewhere other than the exam page — in an annual report, a legislative sunset review, or a statistics dashboard. California's contractor board, for one, publishes its Law & Business pass rate in a report to the Legislature and nowhere else, which is why almost no prep site has it. So the absence of a figure on the registration page is not evidence that none is published.
Until we have checked, treat any exact "CSLB Trade — General Building (B)pass rate" percentage you find online as an unofficial estimate unless it links to an authority document you can open yourself.
