IBC Certifications ?
(OP)
Knowing how to use the building code is not as important as having a certification that says you have passed the test. I am now in a position that I need the "Special Inspector" cert's (our client requires it), and I suck at taking tests. Does anyone know of a good study program that can help?

With regard to the ICC Reinforced Concrete Special Inspector certification, you may already know that in addition to being ACI certified you are required to prove up the required years of experience prior to being awarded the cert. It works out that if you have the required number of years of experience then the plan reading part of the exam is no problem. If you have not been looking at structural drawings and performing inspections for the required number of years then the plan reading part of the exam will be a MAJOR problem. The code portion of the exam is just a matter of having experience with the required reference material and knowing where to look up the answers. The code portion of the exam is difficult but if you have knowledge of the material you can find the answers. I would not walk in there with out having read ACI318, the required ASTM standards, and the IBC 2003. Knowing how the references are laid out so that you can find the answers quickly is key.
