to begin with that is not an NFPA 70 NEC
it is a Hand Book about the code

Are the hardcover codebooks allowed during testing in Texas? View attachment 172685

in other words for a test situation it has extra info that wont be allowed

same thing as a cheat sheet for a test

you are being tested on your knowledge of, and ability to use the code book by itself
basically what do you know by heart and how fast can you look up what you dont know
