My Kaplan and Ballast reference old codes. Problem?

Postby arearcher » Thu Aug 03, 2017 4:26 pm

I'm beginning to study for my retake in a few weeks and noticed both my Kaplan (2009) study guide and Ballast book (2011) reference old codes. I figure Ballast is ok for their ADA section and ICC, but what about the others? When I previously took BS I scored Level2 on HVAC, Plumbing, the Vignette, and Level1 everywhere else. I have: Amber book, Kaplan, Ballast, MEEB, Graphic Standards student (9th), Heating, Cooling, Lighting by Lechner (3rd edition, 2008), and Archiflash (2016). Is there an easier way than crossing out the old code in the book, looking up and writing in the updated code if it changed?

• International Building Code, 2012
• International Mechanical Code, 2012
• International Plumbing Code, 2012
• International Residential Code, 2012
• 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible DesignAmerican National Standards Institute
• ICC A117.1-2009: Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities
• NFPA 101-12: Life Safety Code, 2012
• NFPA 70-11: National Electrical Code, 2011


Edit: I read the Kaplan book and decided to use the code sections in Ballast, Archiflash cards, and look up, cross out, and replace any code directly that appears outdated. I did this most for the Kaplan Fire Protection chapter.
