First of all, what candidates need to know when applying for cost engineer: 1. The cost engineer is a qualification examination, not a selective or elimination examination. If you pass, you won't be too demanding of your exam. 2. Understand the registration conditions, examination subjects, scores, approximate annual passing line, examination time, types of questions, and answering time of each course. For specific information, please refer to the cost engineer channel on the website of Antong School. 3. It must be understood that there is no need to understand all the knowledge points in the book. The teaching materials and the outline must be combined, and the key points, sub-key points and non-key points must be grasped well, so that you can pass the exam without wasting a lot of time. Why not? Finally, I want to say that for those candidates who fail the exam, they will attend training courses and listen to the teacher draw the key points. If they don't draw 90% of the key points, the chances of passing the exam will be lower. At that time, because I was not confident in taking this exam for the first time, I went to participate in the pre-test counseling organized by Antong School, and then strengthened the practice of key points by drawing key points.
Let's talk about the relationship between the four courses that cost engineers have learned. The basic theory of project cost management and related laws and regulations are closely related to project cost pricing and control, and technology and measurement are almost self-contained The case analysis of project cost requires the knowledge of the first three courses. So don't worry about reading the case, then you can look through the knowledge points he used in the first three doors and pay more attention when reading the first three doors.
Review must have a review plan, see how many chapters and pages there are in each course, how much the outline involves in the focus of each chapter, the time you are going to review, and the time you can use, and then make a review plan. For those who really have no time or don't want to study, it is suggested to restrain themselves and force themselves to participate in learning through remedial classes. Before class, when reviewing for the first time, you'd better read the textbook carefully, find out what knowledge is introduced in each course, what each part is about, and what work the cost engineer actually pretends to do (this will help you have a good impression on the exam), and then make a general context diagram of each course. For example, relevance is to solve some basic knowledge that cost engineers need in practical work, including qualification itself, engineering economic foundation, financial management foundation, project management foundation, relevant laws and regulations, etc. Well, the first book is only a few chapters, and almost all the contents of a book are known. "Calculation and control" is to introduce the principle and method of pricing. The first few chapters introduce the principle of valuation, and the following chapters are carried out according to the construction procedure of construction project from decision-making feasibility study to design-construction-acceptance to form assets, so the context of a book is clear. Don't worry about the rest. You can also summarize it yourself.
When reviewing for the first time, you should know the specific requirements of each course, look at those requirements in the outline, those requirements you know, and those requirements you know, so that you will have a direction in your mind. Before starting the second time, you can browse the real questions over the years and see where the problems are, so that you can pay more attention when reviewing yourself. Take this case as an example. Look at the six questions every year. No matter how it changes, it seems that there is no shortage of bidding and no shortage of claims. Well, this should be a compulsory exam every year. What should I bring? When reading the relevant chapters of "Planning Control", we must master the provisions of bidding procedures and time limit. After the second level, those are the key points and those are the difficult points. You have to have a bottom.
In the second review, we must understand the knowledge points that should be understood. After the second time, I think we can take out the real questions above and find some simulation questions of counseling materials, mainly to see how well we master the knowledge points, and to check for missing information. You can also see if you really understand what you should understand the second time, such as claims. The title tells you how many machines there are and how many workers there are. Be sure to find out when to take the labor fee according to the slowdown and when to take the labor fee according to the unit price of the working day. Ask a little question about the topic. If one day a power outage leads to slowdown, some people will only be considered slowdown, forgetting that there are still several machines at the scene, and they will have to pay for the machinery. It is wrong to calculate once.
It is also a key point to browse and review the test sites before the exam, especially some possible test sites for measurement, which are difficult to remember at ordinary times, so strengthening memory before the exam is also a skill.
I also want to explain everyone's doubts: I don't know if it's useful to enroll in remedial classes, because there are too many training institutions now, and it's inevitable to confuse the eyes, but I think it's necessary to enroll in remedial classes and get on the right track. The benefits of attending the training course are:
1, you can know the general test sites from the teacher, and you don't have to work hard to understand those things. After all, our study time is limited. It should be better to have a teacher string it for you than to grope for it yourself.
2. Communicate with teachers and classmates more, and at the same time, you can answer the doubts encountered in the usual review.
3. Learn some answering skills. Whether it is a case or related, teachers will talk about some skills and methods of answering questions. Some teachers will participate in the annual marking work, know which mistakes we often make, know where to remind us, and know how to answer questions according to standard answers, especially cases, which are basically divided according to steps. If you only have the correct results without gradual progress, you may lose 2/3 of the step scores, and there are many similar problems.
Make some friends, maybe you will need help that day.
5. When choosing counseling materials, we often don't know that the explanation materials are valuable, or some people want more than the quality of the materials, thinking that they will be able to master them as long as they do more questions. In fact, it is also a wrong concept. Some questions don't involve the test center at all, so we still don't waste time, and there are tutors to help us choose materials. As long as you do it seriously, you will certainly gain a lot.
Of course, many candidates can't say that training courses are the same as not buying counseling materials, and I don't refute them. After all, this is only a passing exam, but let's see if the cost you saved is commensurate with the time you wasted. After all, our candidates are all engaged in cost, and our usual job is to pay attention to low cost, qualified quality and suitable construction period.
The above is my humble opinion, but I passed a cost engineer exam in this way. Maybe there are some opportunities, but this method is for your reference only. I hope all cost engineers can pass the exam smoothly this year.
