You can find your specific exam reference materials including a study guide blueprint in the Candidate Bulletin on PSI’s website. https://test-takers.psiexams.com/idcon/test.
You must select the exam you wish to take to view the Candidate Bulletin.
NOTE: Candidates are responsible for bringing their own reference materials to the examination center. The Contractor Reference Manual MUST be printed, hole-punched, and placed into a three-ring loose-leaf binder, prior to the scheduled examination date.
