Candidates may use the permitted reference during the examination when the book complies with the testing provider’s requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn open-book format does not eliminate the need for preparation. Candidates must still understand irrigation terminology, hydraulic relationships, equipment functions, and design principles. They must also know where to locate formulas, charts, examples, and procedures within the book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe highlighted and tabbed reference in this package is prepared to support that process. Highlighting draws attention to important design concepts, definitions, procedures, calculations, and equipment information. Permanent tabs create visible access points for major chapters and subjects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCandidates should learn the organization of the book before test day. Review the table of contents, index, chapter arrangement, charts, diagrams, formulas, worked examples, and design procedures. A tab can guide the candidate to the correct general subject, but the applicable information must still be read and interpreted carefully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePractice identifying the main category of each question before opening the book. A pipe-sizing question may require flow and friction-loss information. A sprinkler-layout question may involve coverage, spacing, operating pressure, and precipitation rate. A pump question may require an understanding of head, flow, and system demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTimed reference practice is valuable. Select a design topic, locate the appropriate tab, find the supporting section, and complete the required calculation or comparison. Repeat searches that take too long until the location of the information becomes more familiar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eReference materials should remain compliant with current testing rules.
