Yes — in a specific way. The Reference Manual is built into the exam interface as a searchable PDF, open beside the questions for the full 60 minutes. A physical copy is explicitly banned at testing sites, and so are outside notes, phones, and second screens. The practical consequence: the exam rewards knowing the manual’s structure — where sections and statutes live — over memorizing sentences. Test-takers report the built-in search bar is the key tool (the browser’s Ctrl+F habit may not work). Our Lesson 25 teaches the search strategy directly.
