This learning app contains 1,000 past exam questions from the Level 2 Architect (2nd Class Architect) written exam, covering 10 years from 2017 to 2026, with explanations for all questions.
The written exam requires achieving a minimum score (generally 13 points) in all four subjects: Architectural Planning, Architectural Laws, Architectural Structure, and Architectural Construction, for a total score of 60 points or higher. For Architectural Laws, where you bring a legal textbook, you can practice highlighting and indexing frequently tested articles, timing yourself per question. The Planning, Structure, and Construction sections can also be repeatedly solved by subject and year, allowing even those aiming to pass the written exam through self-study to focus on subjects where they are struggling to reach the minimum score.
■ Strategies for this Exam
- Article Ranking: Articles that have served as the basis for legal regulations over the past 10 years are ranked in order of frequency of appearance in questions, and the completion/incomplete status of underlining and indexing in the legal code is recorded.
- Time Practice for Legal Regulations: Estimate the time required for one question from the 3 hours of Subject I & II, and record the elapsed time and whether "solved without referring to the legal code / referred to the legal code." A suggested order for solving questions in the actual exam is provided for each subject area.
- Subject-Specific Passing Scores: Check the difference between the expected score for the four subjects and the passing score at home, and questions will be asked in the subjects where you are lacking.
- Mock exams are conducted in the same format as the actual exam, with 3 hours each for Subject I & II and Subject III & IV. Year-specific results are judged using the passing score for that year, adjusted for the bias in average scores.
- Structural framework diagrams and diagrams for planning and regulations are displayed together with the questions. From the explanation of the regulations, you can open the relevant articles on e-Gov.
