I agree you should know where to look but I am not sure I am memorizing all the tables with the foot notes and adjustment factors. I am happy to remember what table I use.

Having the 'key' items you may need, and knowing where to be looking is the way to go.
Last I heard here, you are not allowed to have any 'margin notes', 'highlited text' or handwritten notes within the text books that are allowed for testing.

I would certainly think long and hard about the books they list. As I said, the guys who contribute to the test usually sell the books.
I was questioned about tabbing my 1990 NEC for my IAEI tests before I pointed out NFPA sells a tab kit.
(I do think my tabs were better tho)

John brings up a good point.
The rules against notes in the book came about because the book should only be for information and reference.
The rule that I was given was that the book had to be bound; published; and could not be targeted towards the test (such as a book entitled '100 sample questions and solutions for the **** exam).

To answer your question directly:
Do NOT bother with the books. Certainly don't try hauling 50# of books into the test. Instead ....
Go take Mike Holt's test. Make lots of notes as you take it- especially on things that surprise you. Study those items. Pass his test, you'll be ready.
Indeed, I'd be amazed if there are any questions on your test that are not on Holt's test.
His test is free. If you simply must spend money, get his exam study guide.
