While merely reading and studying the code can help you learn. it would take a 
long time to master because of the extremely large amount of data, exceptions 
and variations it contains.  It 
is almost impossible to have all that information flawlessly in your mind.  In 
fact, that is why the tests are open book.  The best inspectors rely on the code 
book, not their recollection of the code.  It 
is extremely important to be right on 
the safety issues in the code. 
If you have a basic understanding of terminology and you study using my practice 
question study technique, you should easily be able pass the exam first time and 
become an expert on the code at the same time while making the most of your 
time.
 By doing 
practice questions and the taking timed practice exams along with special 
learning techniques this book will help you:
1.  Increase 
your speed at finding the answers making you an expert on where to find the 
answers in the code book, this is very important because this is the only way to 
be correct 100% of the time.
2.  Learn the answers to many of the questions that will be on the test and 
thereby be able to answer them from recall memory, saving you precious time. 
3.  Become an expert at managing that time during the test, through test taking 
experience.
Quickly learn a system of study that does do not waste time and is very 
effective in learning the material quickly and accurately.  Using 
questions to learn is far superior to just reading.  When 
you read a question your mind in forced to think, after all you now have a 
problem to solve.  In 
order to pursue the answer, your mind is required to interpret what that problem 
is, then process that information, and finally find a solution through recall, 
or research.  This 
system of study will teach you how to both recall the answers and research the 
answers quickly and effectively, in fact, you will find that this technique can 
be used for anything you want to learn and remember throughout your life.
 
Practice Questions
The first section of practice questions contains hundreds of questions similar 
to those on the exam.  It 
is designed to help you learn the code and give you the practice need to the 
find answers quickly.  The 
second section contains are several Timed Practice Tests, which will hone your 
skills further, only this time with the element of time in play, just like the 
real exams.  When 
you are finished you should be a master.
Now, go into that exam room with experience, knowledge and confidence, and pass 
that exam.
