Before You Sit Exam 66
- Sixty questions, two hours, open book — and a scaled score of 75 to pass.
- This briefing is the exact spec from the ICC's own outline.
- Know the format cold so nothing on exam day surprises you.
Sixty Questions, Two Hours
- Sixty questions, two hours, open book — about two minutes each, single best answer.
Open Book Is a Lookup Race
- Open book is a lookup race. Tab the code and know WHERE the rule lives, not the number.
The Codes and the Passing Score
- 2024 IFC + 2024 IBC, IFSTA for procedure, scaled pass 75 — study the edition you registered for.
The 18 / 47 / 17 / 17 Weights
- 18 / 47 / 17 / 17 — General Provisions is nearly half the exam. Study to the weight.
ICC vs NFPA — What We Pin
- ICC Exam 66 = open-book code application; NFPA's CFI-I (exam + practicum) closed to new applicants after June 30, 2026. This app pins ICC.
It Is Scaled, Not Percent-Correct
- ICC reports a scaled score; the minimum is a scaled 75, not a number-correct cut.
- So do not chase a percent-right total on exam day.
- And do not assume the domains split evenly — follow the 18/47/17/17 weights.
Sign Off the Briefing
- That is the exam spec — format, references, scoring, and weights.
- Cards next — active recall is where this locks in.
Quick Self-Check
- Before the cards, answer in your head:
- How many questions, how long, what score passes, and which domain is the giant?
- Then let the cards confirm it.
