Those specialties do not all rely on the same code sections. This package is intentionally focused on the \u003cstrong\u003eIFGC-only\u003c\/strong\u003e reference approach that aligns with fuel gas piping specialty exam content. If your scheduled specialty is not fuel gas piping, confirm the approved references for your exact specialty exam before you test.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpen-book does not mean “easy.” It means you have to become skilled at code navigation. Under a time limit, you won’t have time to search slowly for every answer.
