Bcin Exam Study Guide
Posted By admin On 13.01.20I write my legal end of march. I have advanced standing in part 3 and 9 due to the courses I took as a building official of 13 years. It's unfortunate but as most with gov't things this started off as a very good plan for upgrading industry standards but now is not much more than an exercise. But whatever. I threw in my $80 bucks to the test and will clean up the loose ends of the business next month. When this was first proposed it was supposed to include all site supers' as well as designers, in conjuction with safety standards etc. Resulting in a auto permit with no review except for zoning/planning.
As with most things it gets watered down and down and down and now it's I guess a bit of an upgrade but really, after 20 years direct code and construction work?? Why am I writing this test?? Wrote the legal yesterday. What a p.i.t.a. If you don't study the new act/code you will die a slow painfull death. Take the course either self study (like I did) or with a group and you will be fine, it's not that bad. The problem with this exam is who actually reads the act?
No one except building officials. So it's pretty tough for people without the experience - much too dry and boring legistlative type stuff. Part 9,3,4 whatever you do is much more relative to your everyday design work and therefore more interesting by default and easier to pass an exam. If there is any consulation at least everyone HAS to right the legal (at least once!!) Paul Last edited by Gunzzz; at 01:14 PM. When I said Act, I also meant Part 1 and 2 also. Just for good measure they also toss in parts 10 and 11 in this exam also.
It's not that hard but like I said if you don't take the course you won't pass. Also what will kill you is the time factor, it's 3 hours and you need it all. I finished in 2:30, reviewed the 10questions I left, found 7 answers, pretty sure about 2, and guessed at one.
That left me with about 10 minutes to burn. 75 questions 3 hours = 2.4 min per question.not long. Have your code tabbed at the important parts and get to where you need to quick - then find the answer.
I got the course book from a friend of mine who wrote it also a few months ago, he took it with a group which really the best way if you have the time. Any particulars you might pass along to those of us yet to write would not fall on deaf ears. I have most concerns about the legal exam and you mentioned about study and careful reading of the 'ACT'.

Did you mean the Code and/or Act? Did you do one of the new courses available on orderline website? Thanks, Greg Hey Greg, Hope this isn't too late. Most important thing you can do is to order the work book from I did about 6 out of the 12 modules and I found the designer/ legal test to be pretty straight forward.
When you apply to write the exam, I suggest taking the designer/legal (unless you need to take the other two?) You'll basically be expected to know things such as: who is responsible for what during the permit process, where to find the responsiblities of those people, Length of time for permit processing for certain buildings, blah blah blah. You'll definately be expected to know the Building Code ACT.
What I did to streamline this is to memorize the Main sections of the act (ex. Section 8-14 deals with Construction and Demolition, etc.) If you haven't taken the technical exam yet, then I would start to study for that.MUCH harder then the legal.
The failing rate is the same as the passing minimum, 70%. A lot of the questions will have you jumping all over your code book, then they'll start a section with a description of a house in a certain area of Ontario.then next 10 questions will deal with this house's description and you'll have to find out Earthquake details, specific snow load details, footings, etc. So it's not all just generic questioning you'll really need to know your code book.
Then you also have the time ticking away. I remember I kind of froze on my first question. I couldn't find it and about 5 min. I sat back took a deep breath and skipped it and went on. By the time I finished and was in my 'code book' groove, I found that questions answer no problem. When you are studying and doing the practice questions in the study manual, time yourself. Get the feel of what 2 min.
Then when you're writing the test you'll know if you should skip a question and come back to it. Well, that's all I have for now, if there's anything you need feel free to PM me.
What will I learn? Effective October 1, 2018, securities industry professionals holding a securities representative-level license are qualified to sell specific securities products, depending on which license is held, a Series 6 or a Series 7. As part of the process of becoming securities licensed, all candidates must pass both the Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) exam and a representative-level top off exam. The SIE exam measures entry-level knowledge of basic securities industry concepts. SIE exam candidates must have a basic understanding of markets, securities products and their risks, securities trading, customer accounts, prohibited activities and the regulatory framework. This course will deliver the content needed to successfully complete the examination requirements.
'The information that was given was very helpful to me in passing the exam' 'My experience with A.D. Banker was great, the information that was given was very helpful to me in passing the exam.
What I loved the most about A.D. Banker was the overall comprehensive exam at the end that was 110 questions. After I had passed the test the first time, I would go over all my notes and take the test again until I felt like I knew the material. I was surprised to see some of the same questions that was asked of us on the practice test was on the real test.
This is a great system and I'm thankful that it was in place for me to be able to pass the actual test.
