    Default RMEP Certification

    Did anyone else take the RMEP certification exam at AU last week?

    I like how RMEP and Struct were still in Beta? Does the certificate say 'Beta Certified'?

    I don't know about the Structural one, but we won't get results on the MEP until after the New Year. I think the 'beta' part is that they need to figure out how to score the test. They don't seem to have any idea whether they made it too hard or too easy (the latter, in my opinion).

    Also, several of the questions were basically "do these three things, then answer this question, which you didn't need to do those three things to figure out."

    I heard rumblings that there was an 8-week waiting period to get your results. I thought about taking it while I was out there but then the internet connection to the exams went down and well....

    Was the test all MEP based questions or were there basic Revit functionality questions thrown in? Like how to use phases, worksets, views, etc...?

    Ah, gotcha. That makes sense, I guess.

    Man, glad I missed the connection dropping out.

    It was all MEP based (what's the invert elevation of the pipe, what's the name of the circuit, etc.). Views and sheets came up tangentially. No mention of phases, worksets, or anything below the surface. Very much geared towards the more casual user rather than the BIM manager/SME types.

    I was thinking it was going to be more "design-based" which I would've failed because I'm not an engineer. I certainly know how to use a lot of the functionality but certainly not all of it. Maybe I'll take a shot at it next year at AU.

    I took the MEP exam at AU after the network loss. I was told that they were evaluating the results and that it would be about 8 weeks till we heard any feed back from it. Being an MEP test, there were a lot of files to open for certain questions in each discipline, and it did not help having file names similar to each other. File name x and then file name x1. I am looking forward to seeing how much information will be relayed to the test takers and how they curve it. I think the exam was towards the basic side. Will let you know in about seven weeks the outcome.

    Yeah, the multiple models thing was frustrating, for sure. I probably spent as much time opening/closing models as I did actually taking the exam.

    Definitely on the basic side.
