I’d like to share some personal views on the registered environmental protection exam (the basic exam). 1. According to the syllabus for the basic exam for registered environmental protection engineers, there are a total of 15 courses: 9 general foundation courses and 6 specialized foundation courses. 2. In terms of the distribution of scores across the questions: a) There are 24 questions related to advanced mathematics, which account for 20% of the total score for the morning session of the exam； b) The three core mechanics courses (theoretical mechanics, material mechanics, and fluid mechanics) account for 30 points and 25% of the total; thus, these four courses are the focus of the morning exams, making up 45% of the morning exam content. 3. From the perspective of professional fundamentals, each question is worth 2 points, and this is also a key area for scoring; one can focus on those questions related to their own field of specialization (wastewater, exhaust gases, solid waste) in order to earn more points on those topics they are more familiar with. Therefore, the professional foundation exam is the key to scoring well in the entire examination; answering one question correctly is equivalent to answering two questions correctly in the general foundation section. 4. The four books I read before the exam were: \"Basic Examination for the Registered Environmental Protection Engineer Qualification Exam (Volumes 1 and 2) – Review Tutorial\" published by Tianjin University Press, as well as the book edited by Hao Jiming. I found Liu Yan’s book on in-depth explanations and practice exercises for the basic courses to be more practical, and better than the version from Tianjin University Press. I passed in 2008, scoring 166 points – a score that’s not bad, but not great either. But as someone who’s been through it, I have one piece of advice for fellow members who are already working: when taking exams, we don’t need to aim for high scores; just passing is sufficient. I gave up theoretical mechanics and chose based on my own circumstances. Because the scope of the exam is quite broad, and since people have limited energy and time, it’s better to go through the example problems and *problems first. For all the forum members who are about to take an exam, I suggest that you just look at the *questions and examples; of course, you should try to understand them thoroughly. Since I just started preparing for the Environmental Engineering qualification exam, regarding reference books and practice for the exam, I think 2 months is sufficient. I began preparing in February, but mostly spent 2 days working on preparation and 5 days resting. I believe one should not start preparing too early, as this can lead to pre-exam fatigue; it’s fine to begin preparing two months before the exam. Personal experience, for reference only. The specific approach also depends on your actual situation. If you are very busy with work, it’s better to start earlier and find some extra time for it. I hope that in 2009, everyone will achieve good results. These are just my personal opinions. For reference only. I hope those who have experience can share more of it with me.
