NHIE is a joke of an exam, IMHO. They didn’t even spend the effort to spellcheck it. I can just imagine all the technical errors.

We aren’t determining if a person gets a license or not. They need to shut the NHIE down until it is perfect if they are going to determine the fate of other people’s livelihood and careers. If they can’t even spell the component, they shouldn’t be ruining lives with their goofy memory test. It’s partly why they keep losing in court: InterNACHI® Defeats Examination Board of Professional Home Inspectors (NHIE) in Court, Again
They say that when you point your finger, 3 are pointing back at you. That’s absolutely true in this case. In this InterNACHI study guide, the word “bibb” appears 6 times, 3 times spelled bibb and 3 times spelled bib.

It appears as “hose bib”, one b, all six times in this RESIDENTIAL PLUMBING OVERVIEW, written by both of you.

Oh, gosh. I wish running a home inspection business was that easy–spot house problems and send people invoices. But seriously, if there’s ever an error or spelling mistake, just send it over to ben@internachi.org or education@internachi.org. We’ll fix it fast. Thanks for helping InterNACHI keep our free online InterNACHI® college curriculum as accurate and updated as posssible.
