Open Book Test

The Kansas Standard Drywall Contractor (ICC - KGT) examination is an open book test. Candidates should prepare to use approved reference materials during the exam, but open book does not mean the exam should be approached casually. Open book questions reward students who can identify the subject being tested, choose the correct reference, locate the controlling language, confirm the condition in the question, and answer efficiently.

Open book preparation should focus on reference familiarity and lookup speed. Students should practice using the table of contents, indexes, definitions, chapter headings, tables, figures, footnotes, exceptions, and topic organization in both the IPC and IFGC. A strong preparation routine includes repeated lookup practice, timed reference drills, definition review, table note review, and mixed-reference practice.

Students should practice deciding which reference to use first. A fixture, water supply, sanitary drainage, storm drainage, venting, trap, cleanout, plumbing material, joint, support, or plumbing installation question may point toward the International Plumbing Code, 2018. A fuel gas piping, appliance, combustion air, appliance venting, valve, regulator, pipe material, fitting, joint, or gas system question may point toward the International Fuel Gas Code, 2018. Open book performance depends on recognizing the subject quickly, choosing the best starting reference, and confirming the answer without over-searching.

Test Information and Study Materials

Students preparing for the Kansas Standard Drywall Contractor (ICC - KGT) exam should use live virtual training, self-study structure, and the listed references together. The preparation process should include IPC navigation, IFGC navigation, reference layout review, definition review, chapter organization review, table practice, figure review, exception review, scope language review, and repeated open book lookup practice.

The International Plumbing Code, 2018 should be studied for plumbing system organization and code navigation. Students should review the table of contents, index, definitions, general provisions, fixtures, water supply and distribution, sanitary drainage, storm drainage, vents, traps, cleanouts, indirect waste where addressed, special waste where addressed, materials, joints, supports, testing awareness, tables, figures, and exceptions. IPC questions may use code-specific terminology and may require the student to identify the correct chapter before searching.

The International Fuel Gas Code, 2018 should be studied as the fuel gas reference for this product. Students should review gas piping systems, gas pipe materials, gas pipe sizing awareness where addressed, valves, regulators, appliance connections, appliance installation, combustion air, appliance venting, supports, joints, fittings, inspection and testing awareness, definitions, tables, figures, and exception language. Fuel gas questions often require careful reading of the scenario to determine whether the question is about piping, appliance location, air supply, venting, connection, shutoff, regulator, material requirement, or system testing.

Reference navigation should be practiced consistently. Students should become familiar with each book’s layout before class, during live virtual training, and throughout self-study. A useful study method is to choose a topic, find it through the table of contents, locate it through the index, read the section heading, check definitions, review any table or note, and confirm how the code language applies to the question. This habit helps students avoid wasting time during open book testing.

Definitions should receive steady attention. Code terms may differ from casual jobsite language, and a question may include one word that controls which reference or section applies. Students should practice looking up definitions in both the IPC and IFGC and reading surrounding language before choosing an answer. A strong definitions routine can help students avoid confusing similar terms across chapters or references.

Scope language should also be part of the study routine. Each code reference contains provisions that apply to specific systems, materials, equipment, installations, or conditions. Students should practice identifying whether a question is asking about plumbing code content, fuel gas code content, installation language, material limitations, testing awareness, or table use. Understanding scope helps students choose the correct reference more efficiently.

Tables and figures should be reviewed carefully. Open book questions may depend on selecting the correct table, reading the table heading, understanding units, applying notes, checking limitations, and using footnotes correctly. Students should avoid memorizing isolated values without understanding the table conditions that control the answer. Tables in code books are often just as important as the written sections.

Exception language should be studied as part of regular preparation. A section may state a general requirement and then provide an exception that changes the answer. Students should practice reading the entire section, including exceptions, notes, and related language, before selecting an answer. This is especially important during open book exams because answer choices may be written to test whether the student stopped reading too early.

Installation language should be reviewed with care. Code provisions may describe how systems, materials, equipment, joints, supports, piping, appliances, or related components are installed, protected, tested, or connected. Students should pay attention to required conditions, permitted materials, prohibited conditions, access requirements, support requirements, and where additional provisions may apply.

IPC topics should be rotated throughout the study schedule. Students can review fixtures, water supply, sanitary drainage, storm drainage, vents, traps, cleanouts, indirect waste where addressed, special waste where addressed, materials, joints, supports, tables, definitions, and installation language. Rotating topics helps students build a working map of the reference instead of studying one chapter in isolation.

IFGC topics should also be rotated throughout the study schedule. Students can review fuel gas piping, appliance installation, combustion air, appliance venting, gas pipe materials, fittings, joints, valves, regulators, supports, testing awareness, definitions, tables, figures, and exception language. Fuel gas study should focus on quickly identifying the topic before searching for the answer.

Students should practice mixed-reference questions. A strong open book routine requires students to decide which reference applies before looking up the answer. Mixed practice builds confidence because the student learns to distinguish plumbing topics from fuel gas topics, definitions from installation provisions, and table questions from general code language.

Students should also practice timed lookup drills. A useful drill is to set a short time limit, choose a topic, locate the correct reference, find the section, read the section and any notes, answer the question, and then review whether the lookup path was efficient. Timed practice helps students build exam pacing and reduce hesitation during the test.

Students should pay attention to section headings and nearby content. Sometimes the answer is not in the first section found through the index. The correct requirement may be in a nearby section, related subsection, table, figure, or exception. Students should learn to scan surrounding headings and understand how each chapter is organized.

Contractor-level preparation should include attention to code responsibility and practical application. Exam-style questions may describe a field condition, material, system, installation, or inspection-related issue. Students should practice reading the full condition, identifying the controlling subject, selecting the correct reference, and applying the written code language rather than relying only on memory or field habit.

Open book preparation should include repeated review of missed questions and weak topics. When a student misses a practice question, the best follow-up is to return to the reference, locate the correct section, read the related definitions, check nearby tables or exceptions, and understand why the correct answer applies. This process builds stronger reference memory over time.

Students should also practice applying code language precisely. Contractor exam preparation is not only about knowing how construction work is performed in the field. It is also about locating the requirement, reading it carefully, and applying it to the condition described in the question. Strong preparation combines practical experience with consistent open book reference navigation.

A strong study routine should include repeated review of both listed references. Students can begin with IPC organization, then rotate into IFGC organization, then return to definitions, tables, figures, scope language, exceptions, materials, installation language, and mixed-reference lookup practice. This kind of structured review helps students prepare more confidently for the Kansas Standard Drywall Contractor (ICC - KGT) exam.
