<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I agree that experience/common sense is
going to be most help. It isn't like the LEED exam where they want
you to regurgitate a bunch of random numbers/criteria. A lot of
the questions are common situational/modeling approach questions.
There are questions about the best way to trouble shoot results.
There are some calculation questions that a pretty easy is you
know your basic heat transfer formulas. There are some questions
on different data analysis types that I didn't really have a good
grasp on. I finished with about 30 minutes to spare, but I didn't
spend much time on questions I didn't know. <br>
<br>
I don't know what the passing score is, but I ended up in the high
80s without studying. I wouldn't say the exam is easy, but if you
have a couple year of modeling experience I would expect you would
pass it pretty easily. <br>
