NCIDQ Releases Additional Information about 2010 Exam Changes
NCIDQ announced that the NCIDQ Examination will be modified in 2010. These
modifications are necessary to ensure that the examination continues to
test the knowledge and skills interior designers use in the course of
their daily practice.
The structure of the NCIDQ Examination will not change. The exam
will continue to include two half-day multiple-choice sections and a
full-day drawing practicum. The multiple-choice sections are Section 1,
which tests codes, building systems, construction standards and
contract administration; and Section 2, which tests design application,
project coordination and professional practice. We took our existing
questions and re-categorized and reorganized them. NCIDQ is
still testing the same health, safety and welfare concepts it always has. Section 1
and 2 will each be 3 ½ hours long and contain 150 questions.
Section 3, the Interior Design Practicum, will now be an eight-hour
exam consisting of seven independent exercises. Beginning in 2010, the
practicum exam will be a series of unique exercises rather than a
scenario that threads through the entire section. For example, the
space planning exercise will not be based on the same scenario as the
millwork exercise. Each exercise will be independent of the others.
NCIDQ is preparing new preparatory materials for the 2010 exam,
which will be available this fall. The NCIDQ Examination is given twice
a year in more than 60 locations in the United States and Canada.
The examination dates for 2010 are April 9-10 and October 1-2.
Complete applications and supporting materials are due to NCIDQ by
December 1, 2009 for the April administration and by June 1, 2010 for
the October 2010 administration. |
