EBPHI’s mission is “to establish the standard of competence for home inspectors and to enhance consumer confidence in home inspection professionals.” The National Home Inspector Examination (NHIE) addresses this mission by encouraging regulatory bodies in state and local governments, as well as professional membership organizations, to adopt the National Home Inspector Examination for competency assessment.  \nEXAMINATION BOARD OF PROFESSIONAL HOME INSPECTORS 847-298-7750 [www.homeinspectionexam.org](www.homeinspectionexam.org)  \nHOME INSPECTOR REGULATION  \nAdministration of the NHIE ensures that home inspection professionals meet basic knowledge and practice requirements for purposes of regulation. Successful completion of the examination answers the needs of the public, government and home inspectors.  \nThe examination is administered nationwide. If you are seeking licensing in Florida, Illinois, Nevada, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Tennessee, Vermont or Washington State, you MUST take the National Home Inspector Examination through those states' contracted test administrators. For more information, go to EBPHI’s website at [www.homeinspectionexam.org](www.homeinspectionexam.org).  \nFor information about home inspection laws and regulations, see EBPHI’s website [at www.homeinspectionexam.org](at www.homeinspectionexam.org).  \nTHE NATIONAL HOME INSPECTOR EXAMINATION®  \nThe NHIE has contracted with PSI to conduct its examination program. PSI provides examinations through a network of computer examination centers throughout the United States.  \nThe NHIE is based on a formal role delineation study that defines the profession as practiced in the field. Home inspector subject matter experts from a variety of practice specialties and geographic areas contribute to the study, and home inspectors from throughout the nation then review the study via a statistically valid survey. The resulting content areas and their associated knowledge and skill requirements serve as the “blueprint” for the National Home Inspector Examination.  \nThis examination development methodology is in accordance with accepted psychometric standards for a “high stakes”public protection examination. These standards are promulgated by organizations such as the American Education Research Association (AERA), the National Council for Certifying Agencies (NCCA), the American Psychological Association (APA) and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) .  \nEXAMINATION PREPARATION  \nTo assist you in preparing for the National Home Inspector Examination, this Handbook provides details about the exam, the Content Outline for the test, and sample questions and answers. A fifty-item sample test is also available online at [www.homeinspectionexam.org](www.homeinspectionexam.org).  \nThere are 200 multiple choice questions on the NHIE. Four hours are allowed to complete the test. Included in the 200 questions per examination are 25 “pretest” questions which are being pre-tested to ensure the NHIE remains reliable, valid and legally-defensible. These \"pre-test\" questions are placed randomly throughout the exam and will not be scored.  \nEach question offers a choice of four answers. There is a single correct answer for each question, although some questions have options which may be partially correct. Examinees are to select the BEST answer to each question.  \nNow you can take the practice exam online at [www.psiexams.com](www.psiexams.com to)[ to](www.psiexams.com to) prepare for your Home Inspector Examination.  \nPlease note that the practice exam is intended only to help testing candidates become familiar with the general types of questions that will appear on a licensing examination. It is NOT a substitute for proper education and study.
