I have read on this forum that IBC/ADA will be provided during the exam. However, I am also wondering if there will be "headings" provided. When one opens IBC 2015 as a PDF, it lists all of the chapters with their headings on the left-land column (for example, "Chapter 3: Occupancy Use and Classification," along with all of the sub-headings for that chapter).

On the actual exam, will this document be available with these headings listed, or will testers need to scroll through the whole document page-by-page?

  The resources that are provided for the case study questions (IBC, ADA, Zoning Codes, etc.) include bookmarks. You have to expand the bookmark panel to access them. There is a little bookmark icon on the toolbar. Each page takes a significant amount of time to load, so it is beneficial to use the bookmarks to navigate the resources. You should practice using the NCARB demonstration exam.

  Not sure if this is mentioned elsewhere on the forum, but you’ll likely receive only “excerpts” from the IBC/ADA, not the entire code. While there are fewer chapters to flip through, you’ll want to practice the bookmark tool like Kyle suggested above.
