Home Inspection Practice Test (50 Questions & Answers with Explanations)

Very useful video. Anyone who is into home inspection should do some review through this video. Great job on this, guys!

This is my first time watching this video and I got 36 out of 50 right. Not bad for somebody that does apartment maintenance. I'd say I just might become home inspector.

In the very beginning of the pandemic I became interested in finding something else to do professionally. I came across an ad for the NICA school ($650). I really enjoyed the learning of all of the different areas needed to be a Home Inspector. I practiced all of the tests I could find but still failed on my first attempt at the National Home Inspector Exam. I licked my wounds, studied all of the other practice exams I could find including the Internachi exams (even became a member). Despite all of that I still failed again on my second attempt ($250 each time). I still like the idea of being a Home Inspector but it seems as though the questions are just too arbitrary and completely stable on how too think with this. I purchased the National Home Inspector Manuals. I believe the mantra for home inspections is "easily accessible - if something is deficient, it is recommended for further evaluation by an expert or professional in the area. Question #3 had you recommend an action rather than refer it to a professional. Please don't rake me over the coals here, I am interested in learning this but really want to go about it the right and true way.

Attention to the explanation is the key to answering a wider range of addition questions.

I feel like this is a preliminary exam. If you do well on this then you have a good foundation. It's definitely not representative of an actual test though

Umm.. My child can answer these questions.. Here in Washington state home inspection training is far far more rigorous then this.. Don't take this test and think you can become home inspector afterwards.😅

Great vid!

Don't get discouraged if you don't know the answers on this practice exam yet. Just a few weeks ago this exam looked like another language to me and today I knew every answer and understood the why behind the answers.

Hello wanted to findOut if this is the same test that would be given to me for the Florida state exam?

Q24: Some states require the inspector to inspect appliances.

Is this for the property maintenance one?

Nice video, not to hard.

"Everything is a shakedown" is the correct answer to all of the above.

It’s not surprising that there are so many unqualified home inspectors in the industry with testing at this level. There is an organization that sets the standards not only for code issues but the inspectors. Every home inspector should join the ICC (International Code Council) and make use of the training and tools available and become certified as a B-1 Residential Building Inspector. The ICC is a fantastic organization and far superior to any home inspection school.

I definitely need some more study material for the florida state exam.

Great video

i knew everything until question 12

I got 100% without any knowledge of home inspections (I work in healthcare field). What is best way to start career in this? thank you
