On Sunday I'm taking my Residential Building Inspector and Residential Electrical Inspector tests.
I got the study companion from ICC.. Quizzes seems pretty straight forward. A lot of the administration isn't familiar to me since NY has changed that chapter (apparently quite a bit), but nothing too bad.
For the answers I don't know, I seem to know exactly where to look to find them, so that's a bit comforting.
Not sure what to expect on the Electrical Inspector exam, but I took the quiz in the study companion for ch38-ch42 and did well.
I am bringing the NEC with me, but it seems to me it should not be required to complete the residential exam.
At 2 hours for 60 questions, it seems to me there should be roughly enough time to check every answer against the book (as opposed to looking up every answer)-- as long as you know where to look. Not sure if that holds true IRL.
Guess I'll find out! If you have any tips or suggestions, let me know!
