Are you dealing with a state legislature that might be seriously considering the NHIE as an entrance test for home inspectors?
Have your favorite congressman email me and I will send him 980 questions and answers to the NHIE that was recently sent to me, as a free bonus, when I bought some practice questions for the ICC exam. I can prove to anyone who needs proof that the test has been compromised and that it....and its answers....are for sale on eBay. I will not pass them on to other inspectors, presently, as I consider the ethical ramifications. I will, however, help you convey to your state that this test is a meaningless tool. James H.

Jim,
I understand. After you have considered the ramifications, should you choose to make them available, I would appreciate a copy. I find it very educational to review questions, research and find answers, then compare them to a results sheet that the question writer has prepared. For years I have used that technique when attemping to educate myself, and review knowledge, and it has worked well for me. Where such material is available. (Wouldn't publish it, and wouldn't use it to cheat. Just learn.) PS. Ask your son-in law (I belive that is who you said was a realtor...) about the pre-licensing courses that are offered for Real Estate agents. Pretty much the whole course is test prep, with sample questions.

So much for licensing determining competency.

Jim, the NHIE is still good as a memory test of trivial facts related to homes, no?

Not the NHIE I took.
There is separate state test for WI law with regard to home inspectors. He who knows nothing is closer to the truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors - Thomas Jefferson - Founding Father |

If you and any other member will E-mail what questions and answers that you have I can use them to refute her testimony about NO ONE having the Q & A. to their tests.

That would assist those in arguing against it and its claims of being scientifically evaluated and consistently applied, nationally. If I take it in Missouri (no license/no SOP), you take it in Florida (license/no SOP), and Christopher takes it in Illinois (license/SOP)....we are taking three very different tests. Interesting.
