WE STUDY BETTER TOGETHER!
IIDA PA NJ DE Chapter runs a regular NCIDQ Study Series, typically every Summer and Winter in order to prepare for the October and April exams. The Study Series is scheduled so that you can be prepared to take any or all of the NCIDQ exams. Join us for one study series, or several!
With your Study Series enrollment, you will receive:
Four (4) full months of Premium Access QPractice at a huge discount! This includes lessons, study schedules, online workshops, practice tests, and more for ALL THREE EXAMS! Access is valid for four months, after which you can continue your access by paying monthly at the full price.
Participation in monthly LIVE Online Study Events with other test takers on Zoom. This is a space to ask questions, seek advice, and partake in fun study games with chances to win prizes! You will need a laptop, camera, and microphone to actively participate on Zoom.
FREE study engagement boxes with sponsorship swag mailed to your doorstep to encourage you along the way! Chances to win gift cards, too!
In addition to what you get with your Study Series enrollment, we recommend the following additional materials:
NCIDQ Interior Design Reference Manual, 7th Edition, by David Kent Ballast - This is what our previous Study Series participants have indicated as the best resource to own! It is relevant to all three parts of the exam and was just released in June 2021 with updates for the latest version of the exam. Note that past editions of this book are not up to date with the codes AND content of the current format of the exam.
Interior Construction & Detailing for Designers & Architects, 6th Edition, by David Kent Ballast - This covers building systems and construction for interior design and is a listed reference used by CIDQ item writers in developing questions for the NCIDQ Exam.
Additional recommended materials, including mock exams, can be found at CIDQ’s website and on QPractice.
