Those study questions and guides are copyrighted. While you may think the classes are too expensive, you are trying to save some pennies to make some dollars. Investing in the class will improve your chances of passing the test dramatically, unless you have the discipline to do the studying yourself.

douche,
Unless you can or have taken an equivalent test (CWI,level III, ICC, 653,510) with no prep (self study only), then I would suggest the prep. The failure rate is very high.

I would highly recommend taking the course.
The stuff is not very difficult to read and understand, but there are many small things which is explained during the course.

The only study packages I know of are those offered by the prep companies and they are copyrighted.  I know it's been said here, but the courses are worth it.  Really.  I just found out I passed the 510 and let me tell you, without the prep course offered by Code West it would have been difficult to say the least.

Who knows though!  I have heard of an inspector or two taking (and passing) the 570 cold.  Wouldn't recommend it for the 510 though.

Good luck, whatever you decide!
