What should those who have taken the Certified Safety Engineer exam keep in mind?

Tips for the Certified Safety Engineer Exam: The Certified Safety Engineer exam consists of four subjects – laws and regulations, safety management, safety production technology, and case analysis. Will it pass? It depends on two factors. The primary and most important factor is that the knowledge level of the individuals being used as references must reach a certain standard ； Second is our test-taking ability and skills. It is also important to have certain test-taking abilities and skills (just as quick responses are required in knowledge competitions, which demand skill); if we have a certain level of knowledge but lack such abilities and skills, it will be difficult to pass the exams. The first is knowledge level. How can one improve their knowledge level? When studying*, keep the following points in mind: First, you must rely on the textbooks and syllabus; first, make sure you understand the requirements outlined in the syllabus, and second, carefully study and review the content of the textbooks in order to get prepared. Second, it is necessary to spend some time on it; without ensuring that time is available, it will be very difficult for even the smartest and most experienced people to succeed. Third, some candidates take four subjects, while others take two. To pass the four (or two) exams within two years or one year, it is essential to allocate time for studying properly. These four subjects form an organic whole; when studying them, one should not treat them as separate entities. Laws and regulations, safety management, technology, and case analysis are actually interrelated components that constitute the theoretical framework that registered safety engineers must know and master. Many aspects within these areas overlap with each other – there is significant overlap between laws and regulations on the one hand and safety management on the other. Case analysis represents the practical application of this knowledge. Therefore, when studying these subjects, it is essential to consider them as an integrated whole. Fourth, when studying*, don’t rely on rote memorization. Although these things need to be remembered for exams, it’s not necessary to memorize them by heart. The exam questions are all multiple-choice; aside from the case analysis questions which are essay-based, the rest are objective questions with multiple choices. All the relevant information is provided in the options, and it depends on your ability to understand them. What matters is that you understand, comprehend, and become familiar with the relevant knowledge – whether you know and are familiar with the key concepts. So, focus on understanding. The reason for emphasizing understanding is that there is a great deal of information related to safety, and it covers a wide range of topics. Once people understand this information, it becomes easy for them to determine the correct answer from several options – in single-choice questions, there are four options to choose from, and if you understand the relevant knowledge, it’s simple to pick the right answer. If it’s a multiple-choice question, then all the relevant information is available, and we can also select the correct answer. But it’s not meant to make people think that nothing needs to be memorized; there is still knowledge that must be remembered, as well as the key provisions of laws and regulations. It’s impossible to pass the exam if nothing is remembered at all. The second is test-taking ability and skills. First, it is essential to master the methods for answering multiple-choice questions. Generally, there are several ways to answer multiple-choice questions: one is the process of elimination. If you can’t find the correct answer right away, then first rule out the wrong options. Out of the four choices, eliminate two first, and then choose from those two; in that case, the probability of getting it right is 50%. This is one method ； The second is the substitution method. Plug in the options that have not been ruled out and read to see if the sentences make sense (check whether the sentences formed by inserting those options are coherent). If, when using certain options, the logical relationship does not hold, then it helps to identify the correct choice ； The third is the direct selection method. It’s easy to use this method on easy questions, and there are also many easy questions in multiple-choice tests. To give the simplest example, production and operation units with a certain number of employees or more should establish a safety management department; 300 employees is the threshold. It’s very simple – once you see 300 employees, there’s no need for any other methods; you can simply make that choice. This is the simplest way to determine it. Everyone should be familiar with these methods and learn how to use them. Second, there is enough time for the exam. Since the exam lasts 150 minutes, it consists of 70 multiple-choice questions worth 70 points, and 15 multiple-choice questions worth 30 points, for a total of 100 points. With 150 minutes available to answer 85 questions, there is definitely enough time; therefore, one must not rush into answering right away after reading the questions, but rather take the time to answer them carefully and thoroughly. Even if the questions are simple, read them at least two or three times; make sure to fully understand what is being asked. If you start writing answers right away after reading the question, mistakes can occur. Since there is enough time and there’s no risk of not being able to finish all the questions, make full use of the 150 minutes available. After completing the questions, go through them again several times. Third, the mindset for exams. One must maintain a calm mindset, avoiding excessive tension or other distracting thoughts. Generally speaking, those who approach exams with a proper attitude are able to achieve good results. Fourth, adjust your mindset. A few days before the exam, there’s no need for much more review; getting enough rest is of primary importance. It’s crucial to adjust one’s mental state to its best condition. Fifth, regarding the issue of the title itself. From the perspective of question design, there are three types: single-choice or multiple-choice questions. There are easy questions, questions of moderate difficulty, and difficult questions. Easy questions account for a certain proportion; at least 90% of these easy questions should be answered correctly, with the goal of answering all of them correctly. For questions of moderate difficulty, one should be able to get 70%–80% of them right; for more difficult questions, 40%–50% accuracy is sufficient. Another point is that in single-choice and multiple-choice questions, it is relatively easier to score points on single-choice questions; a correct answer rate of 80% for these questions would equate to 56 points. For multiple-choice questions, 5 points can be earned for each correct answer. However, when choosing answers for multiple-choice questions, be careful: you must select more than 2 out of the 5 options; it’s not allowed to choose just one, nor is it acceptable to choose all five. No points will be given for incorrect choices, missed choices, or selecting too many options. There are also easy questions among multiple-choice questions, so it’s not too difficult to score around ten points on such questions. By managing these relationships well, mastering the techniques for answering questions, and being fully mentally prepared, it should not be too difficult to reach the 60-point mark. Case analysis is quite special among these four exams; it is a subjective question type, and most candidates often struggle with this subject. In case analysis, there are standard answers when grading; it depends on whether the required scoring points can be addressed. When answering questions, two things need to be taken into account: first, accuracy, and second, comprehensiveness. Answer each key point; don’t go into too much detail for any one point. After addressing the points, provide a summary. When answering questions, determine how many points there are in each question, list them out, and then discuss each point briefly. Be sure to use numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 when writing, as this makes it easier to identify the key points during grading. Also, write more neatly; don’t be sloppy. Generally speaking, answers should be more comprehensive, accurate, and neat. Since it is an exam with 4 or 2 subjects, each subject has its own key points and difficulties. Based on the previous two exams, it can be said that there are questions for every chapter in these four subjects, and the importance of each chapter varies. Taking laws and regulations as an example, the textbook on them consists of six chapters, with the focus being on Chapter 2, the Work Safety Law, as well as the relevant administrative regulations in Chapter 5. It is essential to be very familiar with the Work Safety Law; everyone should memorize each clause and even each chapter, and understand every clause thoroughly, paying special attention to remembering certain key terms. Also, quite importantly, there is Chapter 5; Chapter 5 contains nine administrative regulations, which are quite significant. But it’s hard to say which aspect is the most important; it can be said that each chapter and each piece of legislation comes with questions. The focus of the exam is the knowledge that needs to be mastered as specified in the syllabus. The syllabus uses three terms: mastery, familiarity, and understanding; it should be the mastery level that constitutes the key focus. But there is one thing to keep in mind: it’s not true that the more you answer, the better. Answering too much might offend some exam graders; for example, when asked to identify dangerous or harmful factors, there is no such thing as answering too much. If you answer too much, the examiner may deduct points from you; if your answers are not exactly on the key points but are close to them, no points will be deducted. The main aspects covered in the analysis of safety accident cases include: the determination of accident liability, the identification of the causes of accidents, the composition of the accident investigation team, the procedures for investigating accidents, the allocation of responsibilities, and more detailed elements such as the identification of hazardous factors.

I’ve learned from this; I also plan to take the Certified Safety Officer exam. Thank you

Thank you to the person on floor 2; I’ve learned from that. I also plan to take the Certified Safety Officer exam – experience is really important!

It’s too complicated. I think it’s easy to score 60 points as long as you find some practice questions online to get familiar with them
