Is it worth it?
You've got the hours. You can solder, hang pipe and set fixtures better than most people on the job. And you keep putting off the exam because someone told you it's brutal, or you sat it once and ran out of time halfway through. That's the situation this is written for, and the author is straight about the real problem: it isn't that the questions are impossible, it's that the sizing and maths questions eat the clock you needed for looking up code answers. Get fast at those, and you've bought yourself time for everything else. That's a sensible read of how open-book code exams actually work. This is North Carolina specific, so if you're licensing in another state it's the wrong book. It's a download at $147, self-study, no instructor, no live class. You will also need the actual code books, which the page estimates at six to nine hundred dollars on top. Budget for that before you buy, not after. The page also leans hard on six-figure plumber income as the payoff. Treat that as the seller's pitch rather than a number to plan around. Take the free practice exam first. If the questions look like the wall you keep hitting, this is aimed squarely at you.
Pros

- Includes the business and accounting material as well as code
Cons
- Built for North Carolina, not much use elsewhere

What you get
An instant digital download (no disc, no post) covering the calculation-heavy parts of the NC exam: fixture requirements, water distribution sizing using friction charts, sanitary drain, vent and storm drainage sizing, septic tank sizing, isometrics and plumbing symbols, properties of water, plus a contractor business and accounting section. There's a free sample exam and a free course preview on the page, best viewed on a desktop.
Before you buy
- Sit the free practice exam on the page first and see whether the calculations are your weak spot
- Confirm which code edition your NC exam is based on and price the required books
- Check whether you already meet the experience hours to sit the exam
