Description

Are you studying quantity surveying and want to know if you're actually ready for your exams, assessments, or first QS role? This practice question course gives you the hands-on testing experience that textbooks alone can't provide.


Every section of this course is built around the core topics you'll face in real QS exams and on the job — from taking off quantities and preparing Bills of Quantities, to understanding procurement routes, interpreting contract documents, and working through final account scenarios.

Here's what you'll get to practice:

  1. Measurement & Dimensions — area, volume, and linear calculations using standard measurement rules

  2. Bill of Quantities — BoQ structure, item descriptions, and SMM application

  3. Cost Estimation & Budgeting — elemental cost planning and approximate estimating methods

  4. Tendering & Procurement — tender evaluation, procurement routes, and contractor selection

  5. Contract Administration — variations, valuations, interim payments, and final accounts

Every question comes with a detailed explanation so you understand not just the right answer, but why it's correct. This is the difference between memorising and actually learning.

This course is ideal for HND, degree, and postgraduate students in quantity surveying and construction management, as well as junior QS professionals preparing for the RICS APC or similar assessments.

No prior experience is required to begin — just a willingness to test yourself and learn from every question you attempt.

Start practicing today and build the confidence to walk into any QS exam or interview fully prepared.


Who this course is for:

  • Students studying quantity surveying, civil engineering, or construction management at college or university level
  • Junior or trainee quantity surveyors preparing for professional assessments such as the RICS APC or CIOB exams
  • Construction professionals looking to test and refresh their QS knowledge for job interviews or career progression
