National Home Inspector Exam Preparation
The following states use the National Home Inspector Exam (NHIE) as their state exam for home inspectors: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
The NHIE exam is a closed book 4 hour test with 200 multiple choice questions. Since the questions are taken from a pool of thousands of questions, no two tests will be exactly the same. In addition, most states also have a shorter test that includes questions about state rules for their home inspectors. Both the NHIE and the shorter test have to be passed to get your license.
NHIE uses different tests providers to administer the test for different states. See which provider is used in your state. Most of these providers have facilities in many locations, so there is probably one near you.

We, A Better School of Building Inspection, have developed Home Inspector Exam Prep material for the National Home Inspector Exam that includes a Study Guide and 5 full length Practice Tests. We include this material with our Home Inspection Training Packages, including our Texas package, at no additional cost.
Because the NHIE is a nationwide exam, we have gone out of our way to cover topics in our home inspector training material from all over the country that may be included in the test. For example, we have sections on earthquakes in California, slab foundations and heat pumps in the South, boilers in the East, and swamp/evaporative coolers in the Desert West.
The NHIE exam is a very difficult test. Nationwide only about 55% of test takers pass on their first try. Every time you take the test, you have to pay the full price, which is currently $225. That is why it is so important to prepare yourself by studying rigorously for this exam and completing as many practice exams as possible, especially since it has usually been a while since most of us were in school taking tests. You don't want to go into the test without having practiced.
Remember, If you purchase one of our home inspector training packages, when you finish the course, you will receive access to 5 full length practice tests and a Study Guide to help you prepare for the NHIE/state test.
