NASCLA Exam: Which of the 24 Books You Actually Need to Study

The NASCLA book list is 24 books. You are not taking 24 books into that exam and you are not reading them.

This is the stack that actually goes in with you, and why. Look at the weight chart - how many questions come from each subject. Do not spend your time in a book worth three questions when another one is worth thirty.

Walking through every book: jobsite management, project management, business and law, steel joists, post-tensioning, trusses, pipe and excavation, concrete, principles and practices, modern masonry, carpentry, OSHA, and the IBC.
