NCIDQ Interior Design Practicum Practice Exam exercises are divided into three parts--just like the actual Practicum--and they are consistent with the exam's content areas and level of difficulty. Project descriptions, design instructions, building code requirements, and worksheets are provided for all exercises. Passing and failing design solutions are also included for all exercises.
