  4. A neighboring jurisdiction's amendments control local work

Answer: A. Plumbing exams can depend on the model code edition and amendments adopted by the jurisdiction.

Sample 4

Why should a journeyman or master-plumber candidate read the state candidate bulletin before drilling questions?

  1. It replaces the adopted plumbing and fuel-gas codes
  2. It can confirm the current license level, exam administrator, code edition, references, fees, and scheduling rules
  3. It guarantees the wording of questions on the official examination
  4. It makes older reference editions acceptable when they differ

Answer: B. State plumbing boards and exam vendors can change eligibility, references, and test logistics. Practice should be checked against the current official bulletin.
