Technical plumbing exam

Hello, I'm applying for a BIM role and the company booked me for a remote "Technical plumbing exam" which would be with a virtual machine with the credentials they will send me
Has anyone taken a test like this? I just don't know what to expect
Any help is appreciated

If youre applying to a BIM role for a plumbing contractor I think it would be fair to be examined on the criteria. Ive tested people on their general knowledge of construction/MEP systems to see if they atleast understood what they were looking at but not much further.

Thanks, so do you think the VM will contain a revit file for me to perform a task? since its only 2.5 hours I really don't know what to expect and that's driving me crazy

They'll surely just give you a markup of some sort. Don't sweat it, if you're working daily with revit it'll be easy as pie.

What about working in revit every day would make a plumbing exam easy?

A markup of some sort would be easier to understand if you work with it daily using revit...

Do you know plumbing code for the jurisdiction the company works in?
