Questions for Structural Design,
Building Technology, and Building
Utilities have appeared for this
exam. They are mostly theoretical.
No computations for Structural.
About two or three questions for
estimates, only on tiles.

For most of the questions, the

answers were in Rules VII and VIII.
Seek and you shall find.

Tips on answering:

For numerical choices whose

answers elude you, a technique is to
choose the middle range. For
example: 150, 200, 250, and 300.
Chances are greater that the answer
is between 200 and 250.

For computations, a technique is to

work “backwards”. Select a given
answer, and then try to get the data
from the question.

Sometimes, there are chains of

questions, wherein an answer from
one item is used in the next item.
The backward technique may also
work.

For terms, it is best to work on what

you already know. Disregard the
choices for what you know are false,
