Does the InterNACHI Home Inspection Standards of Practice exam and the Online Inspector Exam help you prepare for the state exam. Trying to get an idea of what scores i should aim for to be ready. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you, David

Which state? With that information, you will get better results.

The short answer is no, taking the exams won’t help you, at least not much, but taking the online courses will.
And as Brian stated, to be able to help you better, you should let us know what state exam you’re refering too.

u got lucky or you are a good guesser… I know all of nachi practice test by heart and i didn’t see any questions on the state exam…everything looked foreign with the state exam… had to guess and failed… the people that wrote the state exam did a poorly job and all they try to do is confuse you… you could build houses and the way they write the questions is only to confuse you . I bet you these people that pass the state exam got lucky guessing… or some how found a way to pass with out taking the test.
Hey David! Yes, both the InterNACHI Home Inspection SOP exam and the Online Inspector Exam can be helpful for state exam prep, but they may not cover everything your state requires. Aim for consistently high scores (80%+ is a good target) to gauge readiness. Also, reviewing your state’s specific requirements and taking additional practice tests can boost confidence, just like just like having the right cutting tools ensures precision in cutting tasks."
I’d love to know how they’re pulling that off.

Knowing the questions is not the same as understanding the material.

state exam is completely different… and poorly written to confuse you… the people that wrote the test need to re write the state exam and make questions shorter…yes some people could read better than others and yet they know nothing about home inspections.
it’s probably not written to confuse you but to see if you know what you’re talkng about or if you just read well or remember the answers to the questions. i can read over test material three times and retain it long enough to ace any test. that’s how i got my first degree without studying. same with all of this, but internachi makes it even easier taking their tests. it took me a day to get cpi qualified.
i’ve been a contractor for over 20 years and building a few years before that, so i know about houses, but otherwise i agree completely about home inspectors not knowing about homes. so, how do you suggest we change it? apprenticeship? shadowing inspectors? training requirements increased? something else entirely? i agree something needs done, maybe, but i don’t have any ideas.
Hi I believe state exam questions should be much shorter instead of run-on questions.
I also believe that most of the people that pass the fl. state exam and if had to take it again would probably fail.
