WHY OPEN BOOK MODE MATTERS
The real ITWBS exam is open book. NICET puts the standards on screen as searchable PDFs and lets you bring physical copies, so the exam does not test recall — it tests whether you can find and apply the right requirement inside about 65 seconds. Practising closed-book trains the wrong skill.
STILL USEFUL AFTER YOU PASS
The inspection schedule is free, permanently. An inspector at a riser does not want a lesson. They want to know whether the thing in front of them is weekly, monthly or five-yearly, and which paragraph says so.
FREE VS FULL ACCESS
Free includes the whole reference library — inspection schedule, glossary, chapter map, formulas and every field calculator — plus practice and warm-up exams with session limits.
One optional in-app purchase unlocks everything permanently: Open Book mode, real-length mocks, Level II and III lessons, Listen mode, unlimited practice and flashcards, no ads. One payment, no subscription.
