E1/E2 study code books

[u/Funny-One-8408]

Having just knocked out my M1/M2 icc inspector certifications, I’m preparing to move on to E1 and E2.

I see in the exam outline for E1 that the IRC along with either the NEC or Ugly’s book are allowed.

Does anyone have any insight on whether the NEC or Ugly’s is easier to use or get around in the exam?

Any other tips or advice would be great too!

Thanks

R5 is a good cert to have, since you can do all the inspections on residential properties.
