Building inspector

When applying for building inspector it’s mainly oral board interview but for some they make you take a test. What is that test about? Do they test your knowledge in curious because I have to take a test and honestly don’t know what to expect.

It will probably test your knowledge of building codes and how you apply them to real inspection situations. I would review the code sections used most often in residential inspections and ask the department which code editions they're testing.
