Historical Buildings

Postby GREMMELS » Sat Jun 24, 2017 8:22 am

The Ballast Practice Exam has 5 or 6 questions on historical / famous buildings and architects. Is that to be expected on the actual test? Not sure if I need to devote more time to studying historical precedent buildings and their structural systems.

I have taken all of the 4.0 exams and there were only a handful of history questions. Do a quick review but I wouldn't spend too much time on that. If my memory serves me most of the history q's on the tests were about more familiar buildings. Ones you will remember from school.

I'm testing tomorrow and those Ballast questions really threw me off, which is what those type of questions are designed for in the first place.

No idea what the Yale skating rink looks like, or who engineered the olympic stadium in Munich. No reason I should know these things, so I will just bank on any history questions on the actual exam covering structural design that actually matters.
