This episode will focus on reviewing mock exam questions for the Programming, Planning and Practice exam. Prior to the review, we sent out an exam to all those that signed up, gave some time to take the mini-exam, and then went through each question one by one during the online/live session, reviewing the answers, strategies, and resources for how to answer them.

In this section, Mike Newman discusses a question from the mock exam that asks “During Design Development, the Architect should use which of the following systems for producing a pricing estimate (or opinion)?” The possible answers given are: assemblies system, square footage take-off, unit pricing, or that an architect should never price a project, that is what the GC is for. Mike will go over each answer, reveal the correct one and why it is the correct answer.
