About the exam
About the ICC B3 Exam
The ICC B3 Building Plans Examiner exam evaluates a candidate’s ability to locate, understand, and apply the code provisions associated with this certification. It is intended for building-safety professionals, inspectors, plans examiners, permit staff, contractors, and other candidates seeking to demonstrate code knowledge.
Because ICC certification exams are open-book and time-limited, success depends on more than memorization. You need to recognize the subject being tested, find the correct code section efficiently, and select the best answer while managing your time.
Our online practice exams are built to help you practice that exact process.

What is the "Secret" to passing the ICC exam?
Unfortunately there is no “Secret” to passing the ICC exams. But I will share with you a tip.
The key to passing the exam is being comfortable with navigating through the code book(s) you are being tested on. Highlighting and tabing the code book can help a lot. Then go through the table of contents and index to get familiar with where certain topics are located. Remember you don’t need to memorize, you just have to know where to find the answer. Although memorizing general key sections might be helpful to save time, but always check back with the code book if you have enough time left.
Like with many things if you allow enough time going through the book to familiarize yourself with each section, you will eventually pass. Don’t get discouraged, you can do this with enough dedication. It just takes time and commitment. And when you do pass, it will feel even more rewarding.
Good Luck!
