Question 1
A comparison separates Surface Planning and Integration from Inspiration Gathering. Which detail
most directly belongs on the Surface Planning and Integration side of the comparison?
A. Identifying and recording sources of design inspiration (nature, architecture, art, travel, culture)
B. Planning surface selections using material boards and spatial specifications
C. Drawing interior elevations and sections to scale to communicate vertical dimensions and wall
layouts
D. The structure and application of the colour wheel (primary, secondary, tertiary colours)
Correct Answer: B
Full Explanation:
Surface Planning and Integration includes planning surface selections using material boards and spatial
specifications. A: Inspiration Gathering includes identifying and recording sources of design inspiration
(nature, architecture, art, travel, culture). C: Elevations and Sections includes drawing interior
elevations and sections to scale to communicate vertical dimensions and wall layouts. D: Core
Concepts and Elements includes the structure and application of the colour wheel (primary, secondary,
tertiary colours).
Question 2
A response addresses Using soft furnishings to alter visual proportions and room atmosphere
under Soft Furnishings and Room Perception. It now needs to address Evaluating lighting levels
required for specific room functions. Which additional focus most directly fills that remaining gap?
A. Space Planning Principles
B. Soft Furnishings and Room Perception
C. Lighting Products and Fixtures
D. Floor Plans to Scale
Correct Answer: C
Full Explanation:
Soft Furnishings and Room Perception includes using soft furnishings to alter visual proportions and
room atmosphere. Lighting Products and Fixtures includes evaluating lighting levels required for
specific room functions. A: Space Planning Principles concerns spatial analysis, zoning, and traffic flow
optimization based on client requirements and architectural limitations, rather than being the closest
match for the concern in the question. B: Soft Furnishings and Room Perception addresses the first
concern, which is already covered. D: Floor Plans to Scale concerns principles of architectural drawing
conventions, symbols, and line weights, rather than being the closest match for the concern in the
question.

Question 3
A note assigns "Identifying and recording sources of design inspiration (nature, architecture, art,
travel, culture)" to Selection and Suitability and "Sourcing and selecting furniture pieces and
decorative accessories to complement a design scheme" to Inspiration Gathering. Which
correction restores the most direct associations?
A. Assign the first to Inspiration Gathering and the second to Selection and Suitability.
B. Assign both concerns to Inspiration Gathering.
C. Assign both concerns to Selection and Suitability.
D. Keep both assignments unchanged.
Correct Answer: A
Full Explanation:
Inspiration Gathering includes identifying and recording sources of design inspiration (nature,
architecture, art, travel, culture). Selection and Suitability includes sourcing and selecting furniture
pieces and decorative accessories to complement a design scheme. B: The second concern fits
Selection and Suitability, so assigning both to Inspiration Gathering loses the distinction. C: The first
concern fits Inspiration Gathering, so assigning both to Selection and Suitability loses the distinction. D:
This reverses the associations: the first concern fits Inspiration Gathering, and the second fits Selection
and Suitability.
Question 4
Match three concerns to their most directly relevant areas: (1) Principles of architectural drawing
conventions, symbols, and line weights; (2) Technical methods for accurately measuring windows
for hardware and window treatments; (3) Identifying influential furniture designers and major
design movements. Which ordering is correct?
A. Floor Plans to Scale / Types of window dressings / Furniture Styles and Influences
B. Types of window dressings / Floor Plans to Scale / Furniture Styles and Influences
C. Floor Plans to Scale / Furniture Styles and Influences / Types of window dressings
D. Furniture Styles and Influences / Types of window dressings / Floor Plans to Scale
Correct Answer: A
Full Explanation:
Floor Plans to Scale includes principles of architectural drawing conventions, symbols, and line weights.
Types of window dressings includes technical methods for accurately measuring windows for hardware
and window treatments. Furniture Styles and Influences includes identifying influential furniture
designers and major design movements. B: The first two associations are reversed; they should be
Floor Plans to Scale and Types of window dressings. C: The second and third associations are reversed;
they should be Types of window dressings and Furniture Styles and Influences. D: The first and third
associations are reversed; they should be Floor Plans to Scale and Furniture Styles and Influences.

Correct Answer: D
Full Explanation:
Types of window dressings includes curtains, roman blinds, roller blinds, shutters, and pelmets. Types
of flooring includes timber, laminate, stone, ceramic tiles, carpets, and resilient flooring (vinyl, LVT). A:
The second concern fits Types of flooring, so assigning both to Types of window dressings loses the
distinction. B: The first concern fits Types of window dressings, so assigning both to Types of flooring
loses the distinction. C: This reverses the associations: the first concern fits Types of window dressings,
and the second fits Types of flooring.
