You need to know how to navigate the code book. Which test are you taking?

I assume that you are speaking of the B-1. It is a very easy test.

No

The B-1 is the easiest of the 4 tests.

Get your IRC Book; buy your marker tabs; install them in your book; take a magic marker and mark the chapters your test will be out of; speed read the index, table of contents and highlight common look-ups.

Then take the test. Like whats his name alread said / Its REAL easy.

When I passed the test last year, it was open book, but the book had to be clean (no marks or hand-written notes in it).

The tabs were permitted and useful.

This is how I passed though: http://www.nachi.org/residential-cod...-exam-prep.htm

You need to know enough of the answers to buy yourself enough time at the end of the test to look up the answers you don't know.
