I have been going through the websites mentioned on the PPI candidate guide the Model Efficient Landscape Ordinance…any other helpful hints on what to study or exam resources would be much appreciated!!

Hi all, 

Thank you for the study tips for the CSE.  I will be taking the test soon and was wondering if anyone had any more recent updates in regards to the test.  Seems like the last post was almost one year ago…

 

Seems like this test is sooo broad. The best study guide so far I have found through this chat. Thanks again!  Any imp. websites, topics, terms..study suggestions woud be most appreciated!  About how long did most people study?

 

Thank you!

Here are some more…

 

Critical Path Analysis – Determines which activities depend on which, activities duration, what activities can occur at the same time.

 

Is this used in the Project managemant stage after the design phase and plans are done?  

When is this performed and who usually does the analysis?

 

Also, Gantt Charts: graphically displays projects various activities, durations start and end times, and relationships.

When would one be used? analysis, design, or construction phase?

 

PERT charts… Project evaluation and review techniques, scehdule of task, cost, and time.

When would this be used?  Analysis, Design or construction phase?

 

Thanks!

More questions that keeps coming up …..

1. In regards to Public Participation Meetings…how should they be structured and wnen to divide up into focus groups? Who should lead the discussions… and how are they chosen? Should these meetings be timed?

It seems that a designated person should be chosen to lead discussion starting w/ broader questions first…narrowing to more specific later.

2. Also, a stakeholder..is that anyone that may have a personal or financial connection to a given project?

3. On Lot Coverage calculations..do you include setbacks?

4. Has anyone heard of the term Traditions Orientated Design? Seems like Transit Oriented design is designed around the pedestrian and public transportation.

Thanks for any responses.

Thanks Veenu.

 

I was just taking a practice test and the question was:

 

Which factor does not influence the amount or volume of surface runoff?

a. site slope

b. size of watershed

c. rainfall amount

d.  existing storm drainage system

 

The answer was site slope…I thought the slope would affect amount or volume of runoff for a steeper slope then less water absorbing into the ground = more runoff.

Any thoughts?

Thank you Veenu and Ray for your responses.

I have a note stating that the FAR is the Floor Area of the space on the bottom or base plane of of the space representing the usable area…..?
