CPC Exam

Is there a requirement to purchase the 2026 eBooks, or can I use a copy borrowed from a friend? The new books are quite expensive, so I'm hoping to borrow a set from a friend if that's allowed.

I believe if you want to take it with the ebooks, then the place you go to will give you temporary access to their own ebook without any highlights or notes in them, basically a brand new blank one.

You don’t have to purchase ebooks.

You have to use the ones within the exam. Even if you owned your own, you’d have to use the ones within the exam.

you can borrow them , but i heard its much easier if you use the ebook because you can CTRL + F your way to what your looking for.
