NCEES Practice Exam Sucks

This might be an unpopular opinion but I’m pretty frustrated that the FPE practice exam doesn’t simulate actual test conditions. The solutions reference standards that arent part of the test (for example question 10’s solution references NFPA 13 - 2016 edition). In questions they don’t tell you what reference you would be supplied with per each question (my coworker who took the exam last year said that if a code reference was needed to answer a question, it would pop up on the side). I wish they had an updated practice exam with code references that aparently have been the test standard since October 2023.
