What books do cost engineers need to read in the exam?
The cost engineer examination consists of four subjects: construction project cost management, construction project valuation, construction project technology and measurement, and construction project cost case analysis.
"Construction Project Cost Management" and "Construction Project Valuation" are basic subjects, so buy one each.
"Construction Engineering Technology and Measurement" and "Case Analysis of Construction Engineering Cost" are professional subjects (just buy one for each of the four majors).
The professional subjects of the professional qualification examination for cost engineers are divided into four professional categories: civil engineering, traffic engineering, water conservancy engineering and installation engineering.
You need to buy more counseling books to study when you take the exam. You can recommend the little red book edited by Zuo, which can be used as study guidance together with the teaching materials to improve learning efficiency and strengthen knowledge memory.
In what order should cost engineers read books in the exam and how to arrange the review order? I think the best review method is to review management, valuation and measurement at the same time, and put the case at the end for reference. Because it is easy to feel slack in the process of learning, if you only focus on one subject, you will lack a sense of urgency in the review process. Without pressure, review motivation will be insufficient.
Moreover, focusing on only one subject and reviewing slowly will lead to a bad consequence: only one subject was reviewed before the exam, and the other subjects were not read at all. Think about the subjects you haven't seen. What are the chances of passing the exam?
On the contrary, if you review three subjects at the same time, you can at least ensure that you have read all the subjects before the exam and your chances of passing will increase.
Is there any change in the textbook of the first-class cost engineer? In 2022, the textbook for the first-class cost engineer examination remains unchanged, and the version is 202 1, which is only four textbooks published by China Planning Press. According to previous years, even if the content of the textbook is changed, it will only be printed after the publishing house makes a slight corrigendum, so candidates can use last year's textbook to start reviewing!
Following the 202 1 version of the textbook, the training textbook for the first-class cost engineer's professional qualification examination published by China Planning Publishing House includes four books: Construction Project Cost Management, Construction Project Valuation, Construction Engineering Technology and Measurement (Civil Construction Engineering) and Construction Engineering Technology and Measurement (Installation Engineering) and Examination Outline.
The compilation of this set of teaching materials fully absorbs the newly promulgated laws, regulations and policies on project cost management, and strives to reflect the new development level of the industry and the characteristics of the first-class cost engineer professional qualification examination.
