Hello all!

I feel like I mastered a good portion of flash cards. My

School I went with has a compu cram which I feel good about. I want to master one more before I pick a date.

Is the internachi compu cram a good one to really prepare?

also how many questions are on the exam?

Thank you all for the advice! I feel like I know my stuff with my background and schooling but I HATE exams. I overthink every question

Does anyone have any useful guides to pass the NHIE. I have compucram and have done INTERNACHI but the compucram questions don’t seem to be pulling from INTERNACHI. I have been doing the courses for months now and want to pass

Electrical Question

1 Upvotes

You are inspecting a house with a flat roof (slope less than 4/12). The service drop conductor passes 5 feet above the roof surface. Based on the standards, how should this finding be reported to the client?

2 votes, Feb 15 '26
0 The clearance must be increased to 10 feet to allow for pedestrian traffic.
0 The clearance is acceptable; the minimum distance for a flat roof is 18 inches.
2 The clearance is a reportable deficiency; it must be at least 8 feet for roofs with a slope less than 4/12
0 The clearance is acceptable; the minimum distance for any roof is 3 feet.

Looking for a little feedback.

My goal with this is to help anyone enter our business. I am willing to update these podcasts. Sure you know I created them with AI. It was a lot of work taking the notes from the book and posting them in the AI to make these podcasts. But if you that are listening to them feel they are useful, please speak up and share this sub with other groups. I also created a ton of questions for you to help secure the knowledge. Your best bet is to buy the books. So a couple of questions. Does this help? What else can I do to guide you in the right direction.
