The
Interior Design Student's Comprehensive Exam is designed to take the mystery out of the National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ) exam. Practice tests introduce students to the NCIDQ exam's multiple-choice format and wording, and design scenarios allow practice in a variety of residential, commercial, and mixed-use spaces. Note that these exercises are not directly endorsed by NCIDQ; however, the range and depth of the material is similar to recent professional exams, and students will gain the knowledge and flexibility required to pass the exam and jump-start their own careers.
This text is designed for students to take the mystery out of the NCIDQ qualifying exam for interior design professionals. The activities contained in this workbook are intended to create experiences similar to those of taking the exam.
