NOW, back to the orginial purpose of this thread.

The NHIE, IN MY OPINION ONLY, is a joke, and does NOT really test for ones knowledge/ability to do home inspections. We are NOT code inspectors, so their reliance on code questions somewhat suspect, Inspectors should know the basic "codes" in order to know what to look for, but that's about it. There is a heck of a lot more to hime inspection than that.

I am sure there is probably a ton of information out there as to the test and its questions/answers. Take into consideration, classes given (for a price , of course) that will PREPARE you for the test. Now just where/how did those putting on the class get the information to be able to concentrate on just the test?????

I say, follow the money. NHIE has the dog in this fight and a vested intrest in pushing their agenda, $50 for a practice exam, $250 to take the full exam. We are talking real money here, and for what? It's not really a "national" test, as many states do not recognize it.

Thus, (NHIE) spends considerable time (and money), pushing their test as the ONLY valid test, to be used in each state.

There can be valid reason/need for a national HI test, but only if it is devised with all states in mind and covers the basic responsabilities/knowledge of a home inspector. And is recognized in all states, to verify an applicants general/basic knowledge.

So, to call this a "national" test, is false advertising, as noted, many states do not recognize it.
