Domain 1: Professional Development and Relationship Building 13% of exam
Question 1
A sales manager proposes adding a five-minute product-ordering demonstration to the final question-and-answer period of an AIA-approved HSW continuing-education course. The technical instruction already addresses the approved learning objectives. How should the presenter handle the proposed addition?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D - Offer the demonstration after the course ends, clearly separate from the credit-bearing instruction.
Domain 2: Pre-Design 30% of exam
Question 2
A ceiling supplier offers an NRC 0.90 panel for enclosed interview rooms, stating that its rating will keep conversations from being heard next door. The owner's priority is speech privacy between rooms. What evidence is still needed to evaluate that claim?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C - Airborne sound-insulation data for the separating construction, together with an assessment of potential flanking paths.
Question 3
Two compliant air-handling systems are being compared before design. System R costs $80,000 installed; System S costs $98,000 installed. S reduces annual energy expense by $6,000 but increases annual maintenance expense by $1,500. The owner accepts an initial premium only when simple payback is under five years. Assume constant annual amounts and no other cost differences. Which assessment should the representative present?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C - 4.0 years; the premium meets the owner's payback requirement.
Question 4
A loading aisle must reopen to forklifts 12 hours after the final floor-coating application. At the expected site conditions, System F allows foot traffic after 4 hours and forklift traffic after 24 hours; System G allows foot traffic after 6 hours and forklift traffic after 10 hours. Both reach full chemical cure in seven days and otherwise satisfy the owner's requirements. Which recommendation fits the reopening constraint?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D - Recommend System G; its ten-hour wait for forklift use fits the reopening requirement.
Domain 3: Design Phase 25% of exam
Question 5
A representative is editing a waterproofing specification section. Three requirements need placement: submittal of field-test reports; the membrane's physical properties; and performance of field adhesion tests. Under CSI SectionFormat, where do these belong, respectively?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A - Part 1 - General; Part 2 - Products; Part 3 - Execution
Question 6
A designer needs a single-component sealant for vertical, nontraffic joints between mortar and aluminum. Required movement capability is at least 30% extension and 30% compression. The manufacturer has confirmed suitability for both project substrates. Which ASTM C920 designation satisfies these requirements?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C - Type S, Grade NS, Class 35, Uses NT, M, and A
Domain 4: Procurement 15% of exam
Question 7
An architect emails that a proposed roofing substitution appears technically acceptable. The bidding instructions allow substitutions only when approved by addendum. No addendum has been issued, and bids are due tomorrow. A bidder asks whether it may treat the proposed product as an approved basis for its bid. The representative should advise:
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B - The product is not yet approved; the required approval must be issued by addendum.
Question 8
Custom metal panels are needed on site in 28 working days. Starting today, shop-drawing review takes 7 working days and independent finish-sample approval takes 9; both must finish before fabrication begins. Fabrication then takes 18 working days, followed by 3 working days in transit. Only one of the following changes can be obtained. Which change makes delivery achievable within the available time?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B - Reduce finish-sample approval from 9 to 6 working days.
Domain 5: Construction 17% of exam
Question 9
During a requested rooftop site visit, a representative sees that a hatch cover has been removed. An installer carrying a long panel is walking backward toward the unguarded opening. The representative can call to the installer from a protected walkway. Which response takes priority?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A - Warn the installer immediately and alert the superintendent from the protected walkway.
Question 10
At a completed façade joint, sealant has torn through the middle of the bead, leaving material firmly bonded to both joint faces. The installer attributes the failure to insufficient primer. Which conclusion is supported by the observed failure pattern?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A - Cohesive rupture is evident; the observation alone does not establish its cause.
