This year I have to take all 5 exams, and I’m not well-prepared; I’ve done too few practice questions for the fourth and fifth exams (I only got the textbooks in February). I’m not sure how many exams I’ll be able to pass. We’ll fight again next year. Question 4 of Section 5 tested the building coefficient (which is required to be greater than 30%), and the calculated value for this question was 35.6%; it also tested the green space ratio (which is required to be less than 7%), with the calculated value for this question being 8%.
I took a look at the basic questions for the chemical engineering registration exam; actually, the last few questions were the same as those in Subject 4 of the consulting engineering registration exam, focusing on technical economics. For example, the VAT rate is generally 17%; now the tax system has been changed from a production-based VAT to a consumption-based one, which affects the calculation of net present value NPV and similar metrics
I’m taking all 5 subjects this year as well; I’m not well-prepared, and I doubt I’ll pass subjects 4 and 5.:) I don’t know how many subjects I’ll be able to pass.
Let’s fight again next year. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
This year’s questions are still quite difficult; it’s not easy to pass. Let’s prepare for next year instead
I think the questions aren’t that difficult; it’s just that I don’t pay enough attention usually and haven’t done enough practice problems. I didn’t perform well when answering the questions. I’ve seen those questions before; I just couldn’t answer them during the exam.

Which version of the relevant textbooks is generally used? Where to buy it? 3. Is it open? Does it have to be printed material? 4. What are the precautions during the replication process? Thank you!

The relevant textbooks and exam syllabi can be purchased at bookstores; I bought them from an exam-focused bookstore. The exam is a closed-book test. You can read the printed materials by yourself, but they are not allowed during the exam. Summary of exam experience: Study the textbook and use practice questions for reinforcement; repeating this process three times should be sufficient to pass. Of course, it’s necessary to prepare thoroughly by doing practice questions one month before the exam to reinforce one’s knowledge.
I want to take the exam next year too, but alas, I lack confidence
For the first time in 10 years, I registered for 5 subjects; after taking the exams, I passed the first and third ones. In 2011, I took the remaining three exams and passed the second and fourth ones. In 2012, I passed the final fifth subject. Overall, it seems that the first and third subjects are relatively easier; the second subject requires a lot of memorization, while for the fourth and fifth subjects, understanding is key. For my study materials, I used the book \"Comprehensive Guide to the Professional Qualification Examination for Registered Consulting Engineers (Investment)\) published by China Machine Press, edited by Chen Xian. Go through the textbook carefully before reading the book; there shouldn’t be any major problems.
I took the exam this year, passed all five subjects, got the certificate, and it’s kept hidden at home. . .
