Does anyone know, in California, the 8hr exam uses the IBC building code but the seismic/surveying exams the next day will require the CBC?

RE: CA PE Exam Civil/Structural reference help
The 2.5-hour seismic exam is a state exam, prepared by the California Board. Since the IBC is not yet effective in California, the seismic exam still uses the 2001 CBC. The 2001 CBC is based on the 1997 UBC, and you can use the 1997 UBC instead of the 2001 CBC if you like.
The 2.5-hour surveying exam is also a state exam, but it does not reference building codes.
