ICC F2 study plan

Map the permit and inspection workflow from application through certificate of occupancy using only the code text in your reference set

Define the duties and authority of the fire code official and distinguish them from those of the building official

List the inspection and testing obligations that attach to a new occupancy and write them as a checklist

Explain how code editions and local amendments interact when determining which requirements apply

Classify a set of occupancies by group and subgroup and justify each classification in writing

Identify the conditions that allow a change of occupancy and the added safeguards they trigger

Summarize maintenance, housekeeping, and operational requirements a property owner must sustain after occupancy

Draft five enforcement scenarios and state the corrective action the code official could require in each

Compare the five construction types on structural fire resistance and permitted height and area

Calculate allowable building area for several combinations of construction type, occupancy, and frontage

Trace where fire-resistance-rated assemblies are required and how opening and penetration protection preserves the rating

Describe the fire protection features that must be maintained in existing buildings and how to verify them

Differentiate detection, alarm, and suppression systems by function and by the occupancies that require them

Explain the inspection, testing, and maintenance intervals that keep fire protection systems in service

Identify the hazard classifications for flammable and combustible materials and the storage limits tied to them

Match hazardous material controls to the risk they address, including separation, ventilation, and containment

Compute occupant load for varied occupancies using the correct density factors and net versus gross area

Size egress components from occupant load, including capacity, width, and number of exits

Evaluate travel distance and common path limits against arrangement of exits

Apply interior finish and decoration requirements by location and occupancy

Break down the components of a means of egress and the requirements that apply to each

Analyze exit access, exit, and exit discharge for continuity and protection

Specify illumination, marking, and signage requirements and the conditions that trigger them

Integrate egress and fire protection requirements into a single compliance narrative for one occupancy

Revisit every domain and close gaps flagged during earlier weeks

Answer timed practice sets and log each error by domain and cause

Re-derive from memory the key tables and thresholds you are most likely to be tested on

Restate enforcement procedures and egress calculations in your own words to confirm retention

Take two full-length timed practice exams under test conditions

Review every missed item and confirm understanding before moving on

Drill weak domains until practice accuracy is stable

Finalize a one-page quick-reference sheet you can review in the last days
