Fundamental Information Technology Engineer Examination study plan
Fundamental Information Technology Engineer Examination · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 6 hours per week
科目A (Subject A) - 60 four-option multiple-choice questions, 90 minutes
Map the 科目A syllabus into a one-page checklist covering hardware, software, databases, networks, security, algorithms, and management/strategy, and mark your current confidence 1-5 per area
Solve 40 科目A practice questions untimed and log every miss with the underlying concept, not just the topic name
Drill binary/hexadecimal conversion, two's complement, and logical operations until you can do 10 in under 5 minutes with no errors
Build a spaced-repetition deck of 50 terms for hardware and basic software concepts, tagging each card by syllabus area
Your checkpoint
A scored diagnostic log of 40 科目A questions with a ranked list of your five weakest syllabus areas
科目A (Subject A) - 60 four-option multiple-choice questions, 90 minutes
Work through database normalization (1NF through 3NF), SQL SELECT/JOIN/GROUP BY, and transaction ACID properties, then answer 30 questions on them
Compute relational algebra operations and interpret ER diagrams from text descriptions without any figure
Practice 20 questions on data structures (stacks, queues, lists, trees) and trace algorithm behavior by hand on paper
Review every week-1 miss and re-solve it cold before adding new material
Your checkpoint
A one-page handwritten cheat sheet of SQL syntax, normalization rules, and ACID definitions you can reproduce from memory
科目A (Subject A) - 60 four-option multiple-choice questions, 90 minutes
Cover number representation, floating point, error theory, and information theory (entropy, Huffman coding) and solve 25 calculation questions
Trace sorting and searching algorithms (quicksort, mergesort, binary search) by hand and state their complexity
Solve 15 questions on operating system processes, scheduling, memory management, and paging
Time yourself on a 30-question mixed set to establish a per-question pace baseline
Your checkpoint
A timed 30-question mock section score with a written note on which calculation types cost you the most time
科目A (Subject A) - 60 four-option multiple-choice questions, 90 minutes & 科目B (Subject B) - 20 multiple-choice questions, 100 minutes
Complete network fundamentals: OSI/TCP-IP layers, IP addressing and subnetting, and common protocols, then solve 25 questions
Cover security basics: cryptography, authentication, common attacks, and access control, and answer 20 questions
Begin 科目B by reading 10 pseudo-code trace questions and writing the execution trace line by line
Review all calculation errors from weeks 1-3 and redo them without notes
Your checkpoint
A subnetting worksheet of 10 problems solved correctly with masks, network addresses, and broadcast addresses shown
科目B (Subject B) - 20 multiple-choice questions, 100 minutes
Trace 20 pseudo-code questions involving loops, arrays, and nested conditions, writing variable state at each step
Practice 15 algorithm-design questions on searching, sorting, and recursion by describing the procedure in plain language before coding it
Learn to identify off-by-one, initialization, and boundary-condition traps and record each trap type you encounter
Complete one 10-question 科目B set under a 50-minute limit
Your checkpoint
A trap catalog listing at least 8 recurring error patterns in pseudo-code questions with an example of each
科目B (Subject B) - 20 multiple-choice questions, 100 minutes
Work through 20 questions on program logic, state transitions, and data-flow reasoning, including concurrent and event-driven descriptions
Practice reading specification-style prompts and restating the requirement in your own words before answering
Solve 15 questions on information security and database logic as they appear in 科目B scenarios
Redo every week-5 miss and confirm you can explain why the wrong options are wrong
Your checkpoint
A full 10-question 科目B set scored at 70% or higher within 50 minutes
科目A (Subject A) - 60 four-option multiple-choice questions, 90 minutes & 科目B (Subject B) - 20 multiple-choice questions, 100 minutes
Take one full 科目A mock (60 questions, 90 minutes) and one full 科目B mock (20 questions, 100 minutes) under real timing
Analyze both mocks by error type: knowledge gap, misread, calculation slip, or time pressure, and tally each
Re-study your two weakest areas from the analysis and solve 30 targeted questions
Practice a time-allocation rule for 科目A: target minutes per question and a skip-and-return threshold
Your checkpoint
A mock-exam analysis sheet with error counts by category and a written time-allocation plan for each subject
科目A (Subject A) - 60 four-option multiple-choice questions, 90 minutes & 科目B (Subject B) - 20 multiple-choice questions, 100 minutes
Retake both full mock exams and compare scores against week 7 to confirm improvement
Review only flagged weak spots and your spaced-repetition deck; add no new topics
Rehearse the 科目B reading routine on 10 fresh questions: restate, trace, verify boundary conditions
Confirm exam-day logistics and do a final pass over your own cheat sheets and trap catalog
Your checkpoint
Two final mock scores at or above your target pass line, plus a one-page final-review sheet
Milestones
Week 2: Can solve 8 of 10 database and data-structure questions correctly without notes
Week 4: 科目A sectional accuracy reaches 60% or higher on a timed 30-question set, and 10 subnetting problems are solved without error
Week 6: 科目B practice set scores 70% or higher within the 50-minute limit
Week 7: Full 科目A mock completed within 90 minutes and full 科目B mock within 100 minutes, both scored and analyzed by error type
Week 8: Both final mock scores meet or exceed the target pass line with time remaining on each section
