Candidates must study the correct source material when preparing for an exam. The ability to understand, interpret, and apply knowledge from the source materials is the difference between passing and failing. Source materials are not included in the examination fee, but are available for purchase through CSI, AIA, and EJCDC member organizations. Source materials may also be available for loan from local libraries, industry firms, colleges, CSI chapters, or colleagues.
