About those things
The second-level cost engineer exam is a relatively comprehensive exam with many knowledge points and is prone to errors. The following is an analysis of some common error-prone knowledge points to help test preparers better understand and master the relevant content.
1.Bill of Quantities Valuation Method:
In the valuation of bills of quantities, common error-prone knowledge points include the total price method, the unit price analysis method and the comprehensive unit price method. Here are a few things to keep in mind when preparing for the exam:
The total price method is suitable for the case of small or relatively simple engineering quantity, which is simple to calculate, but easy to ignore details.
The unit price analysis method is suitable for the situation of large or complex engineering quantity, which requires a detailed analysis of each list item, but the error is that it is easy to make calculation errors when calculating the unit price.
The comprehensive unit price method combines the advantages of the total price method and the unit price analysis method, and is suitable for the situation of large and complex engineering quantity. When preparing for the exam, it is necessary to pay attention to mastering the calculation formula and using it correctly.
2.Common error-prone points in engineering surveying:
Engineering surveying is an important part of cost engineering, and the knowledge points that are prone to error mainly include the influence of measurement error, accuracy level and the selection of measurement methods. Here are a few things to keep in mind when preparing for the exam:
The influence of measurement error: understand the impact of measurement error on the calculation of project cost, and be able to deal with the error correctly to avoid the accumulation of large errors.
Accuracy level: Understand the meaning and requirements of different accuracy levels, and master the selection of appropriate accuracy levels for measurement for complex projects.
Selection of measurement methods: Select the appropriate measurement method according to the specific situation, and understand the characteristics and scope of application of various measurement methods.
3.Error-prone knowledge points of engineering contract management:
Engineering contract management is one of the important responsibilities of the second-level cost engineer, and the error-prone knowledge points mainly include contract types, contract termination and claims. Here are a few things to keep in mind when preparing for the exam:
Contract types: understand the characteristics and scope of application of various contract types, and be able to correctly judge and use different types of contracts.
Contract termination: Understand the conditions and procedures for terminating the contract, and understand the possible consequences and responsibilities of the termination.
Claims: Understand the basic principles and procedures of claims, and be able to correctly judge the basis and scope of claims.
The above are just some of the common error-prone knowledge points in the secondary cost engineer exam, and it is also necessary to combine the specific exam syllabus and past questions for targeted re-Xi when preparing for the exam. At the same time, doing a good job in summarizing mistakes and strengthening training is also an important means to improve the effectiveness of exam preparation. I wish you all the best in passing the Cost Engineer II exam!
