Iran Nezam Architecture Supervision Exam study plan
Iran Nezam Architecture Supervision Exam · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 6 hours per week
Architectural Design and Planning & Building Regulations, Codes, and Standards
Map the full domain weight table to a personal scorecard, then rank domains by weight times self-assessed weakness
Reconstruct the zoning and floor-area-ratio rules for residential vs commercial occupancy from memory, then verify against the national building code text
Solve 15 design-and-code scenario items on setbacks, occupancy classification, and permitted building height, logging every error with its root cause
Draft a one-page checklist linking each design decision point to the code article that governs it
Your checkpoint
A one-page weighted study scorecard plus a 15-item error log with root causes for Domains 1 and 6
Architectural Design and Planning & Building Regulations, Codes, and Standards
Produce dimensioned schematic plans for a mid-rise residential block that satisfy egress travel distance, exit width, and stair enclosure rules
Compare fire-compartment area limits and separation requirements across occupancy groups and tabulate the differences
Explain accessibility and vertical circulation requirements for a public building in writing, citing clause numbers
Complete 20 timed mixed items on design planning and code compliance at 90 seconds per item
Your checkpoint
A dimensioned schematic plan set with a code-compliance annotation table covering egress, compartmentation, and accessibility
Building Construction and Structural Systems & Materials and Building Components
Trace gravity and lateral load paths from slab to footing for a framed structure and sketch each transfer
Compute tributary loads and size a simple beam and column using allowable stress checks with stated assumptions
Classify structural systems (moment frame, braced frame, shear wall, flat slab) and match each to its height and ductility limits
Build a material property table for concrete grades, rebar types, structural steel sections, and masonry units with their test standards
Your checkpoint
A load-path diagram set plus a solved beam-and-column sizing sheet and material property table
Building Construction and Structural Systems & Materials and Building Components
Diagnose 10 common construction defects (cold joints, honeycombing, rebar cover loss, efflorescence, shrinkage cracking) and prescribe the inspection method that catches each
Specify acceptance criteria and sampling frequency for concrete placement, compaction, curing, and rebar placement
Compare finishes and cladding systems on durability, fire reaction, and maintenance, and select one per building zone with justification
Complete 25 timed items on structures and materials at 75 seconds per item
Your checkpoint
A defect-diagnosis matrix of 10 cases with inspection method, acceptance criterion, and corrective action for each
Construction Supervision and Site Management & Building Services (Mechanical and Electrical)
Sequence a site supervision workflow from submittal review through inspection, nonconformance report, and closeout
Draft a daily site report and a nonconformance notice that would survive a contractual dispute
Size mechanical services conceptually: estimate ventilation airflow, heating and cooling loads, and duct and pipe routing space for a given floor plate
Lay out electrical risers, panel locations, earthing, and lighting levels, and check coordination clashes against structural and architectural drawings
Complete 20 timed items on supervision and building services
Your checkpoint
A supervision package containing a sequencing flowchart, one model daily report, one nonconformance notice, and a coordinated MEP space-allocation sketch
Contracts, Legal Responsibilities, and Professional Ethics & Construction Supervision and Site Management
Compare contract types and standard conditions on scope variation, delay, payment certification, and dispute resolution
Define the supervisor's authority limits and liability exposure, distinguishing approval from certification duties
Resolve 8 ethics scenarios on conflict of interest, undisclosed substitution of materials, and signing off uninspected work
Write a variation order and a delay claim assessment with the evidence each requires
Your checkpoint
A contract-and-ethics casebook of 8 resolved scenarios plus one drafted variation order and one delay assessment
Safety, Health, and Environmental Requirements & Quantity Surveying, Cost Estimation, and Documentation
Build a site safety plan outline covering excavation shoring, fall protection, scaffolding, hot work, and emergency response
Identify environmental controls for dust, noise, runoff, and waste segregation and match each to its regulatory trigger
Take off quantities for a small building from drawings: concrete, formwork, rebar, masonry, and finishes
Produce a priced estimate with labor, material, equipment, and overhead rates, then reconcile it against a second method
Assemble a documentation checklist for as-built drawings, test certificates, and handover records
Your checkpoint
A quantity takeoff and priced estimate for a small building, reconciled against a second method, with a safety plan outline and handover checklist
Architectural Design and Planning & Building Construction and Structural Systems & Construction Supervision and Site Management & Building Regulations, Codes, and Standards & Contracts, Legal Responsibilities, and Professional Ethics
Sit two full-length timed mock exams under exam conditions and score them by domain
Re-drill every missed item from Weeks 1 through 7 until each is answered correctly twice in a row
Compress each domain into a single recall sheet of formulas, clause numbers, and decision rules
Rehearse the highest-weight domains last, 48 hours before the exam, at a light review pace
Your checkpoint
Two scored mock exams with a domain-by-domain trend chart and nine one-page recall sheets
Milestones
Week 2: Score at least 70 percent on a 30-item mixed set drawn from Domains 1 and 6, and show a written code citation for every design decision in the schematic plan set
Week 4: Score at least 70 percent on a 40-item set from Domains 2 and 3, and correctly diagnose at least 8 of 10 defects with the right inspection method
Week 6: Score at least 65 percent on a 40-item set from Domains 5 and 7, and defend each of the 8 ethics resolutions in writing against the applicable duty
Week 8: Score at least 75 percent overall on both full-length mocks with no single domain below 60 percent, and complete all nine recall sheets
