What’s the NCIDQ Exam Pass Rate for Qpractice?

Updated: January 11, 2021 by Lisa League

NCIDQ Exam pass rate

63% of the new NCIDQ Certificate Holders from fall 2020 were Qpractice members!

Congratulations to all designers who passed the Fall 2020 NCIDQ Exams!

So what's the NCIDQ Exam pass rate?

Of all test takers, 872 became newly certified designers — and over 555 were Qpractice members.

That's more than half!

At least 63% of the new NCIDQ Certificate holders were Qpractice members who had purchased one or more subscriptions, courses, or workshops for their NCIDQ Exam prep for one, two, or all three of their exams!

This is based on a complete name match with state or province. If you moved, or passed your exams and have not updated your information with us in your account, please reach out and we'll help you update this.

As we begin with the new exam blueprints for the Spring 2021 Exam season, we've updated and are continuing to add even more to our subscription to help you pass the NCIDQ Exams!

What's new at Qpractice?

This fall we updated all of our practice tests and quizzes to match the new 2021 NCIDQ Exam Blueprints in content distribution.

New quizzes updated to the new exam blueprints

We've updated and remapped over 1700 questions, and added over 200 new questions, with more on the way.

This year, the Practicum Exam will use real life building codes from the ICC family of codes like the International Building Codes, 2018. We're also rolling out these code updates throughout all of our content, including a new set of case studies on the way.

Want a chance to earn credit towards your subscription? Once you're a Qpractice member, you'll have an opportunity to play along in our Scavenger Hunt game to help you learn these new codes!

New lesson summaries and audio

This year we're excited to be adding a new audio format for each lesson.

Everyone learns differently. Having the same content in multiple formats helps those who prefer to listen, is a way to reinforce your learning from reading, and can be especially helpful if English is not your first language. Since the exam is now available worldwide, we often have international members. I hope you find this helpful!

Each new lesson summary this year is following along exactly with the NCIDQ Blueprint knowledge statements, and we're excited to have an award winning interior designer and voice actor narrating our lessons.

Oh, and she earned her NCIDQ Certificate, too!

Just who is this mystery woman? Stay tuned.

Qpractice Members  — you'll hear her starting in Lesson 1, Module 1, and we'll share her story later in the Start Here module!

New live workshops

We've had great response for the last few years for our live workshops. In the past we've used CIDQ's practice tests to do this, and each workshop previously sold for $169 – $199 each on top of purchasing the CIDQ quiz.

Now we'll have unique quizzes set up for you in the course to take before the live workshop, with no additional purchase needed. All included with your subscription for only $149/month.

We cover test taking strategy for each exam, and walk through each questions and answer with

  • Tips on how to avoid common mistakes
  • How to choose when you don't know the answer
  • Explanations for each correct answer
  • The WHY and/or sourcing behind the correct answer

The workshops are offered live with audience Q&A only at select times each season and recordings are available to you 24/7 along with your active Qpractice subscription.

We recommend that you take your quiz before the live event, but your Qpractice monthly plan includes unlimited access to our online practice tests and quizzes.

I thought the workshop was extremely helpful and I thought it was very beneficial (especially since this format is brand new for all of us). The most helpful part was having Lisa talk through how SHE would go about answer a question. It helped me see how I need to break down a question.

I find the videos that are part of the PRAC 2.0 Masterclass extremely helpful because I appreciate hearing how the problems are approached. The quiz walk-through has the added benefit of seeing Lisa take on the new PRAC 2.0 testing format. Hearing her think through the problems and being able to ask questions takes much of the mystery out of the quiz and allows members to understand what they may have missed when taking the quiz themselves. Very helpful!

I found the workshop the most helpful of all tools! I took the test the morning before the workshop so my answers were still clear in my mind and listening to the reasoning behind the correct/incorrect answers was great. Thanks Lisa!

Why we offer All Access Courses

As a Premium Access member, you get access to courses for all 3 exams in one membership. This helps you make the most of the topical overlap between them. While IDFX and IDPX no longer overlap between each other, All of PRAC overlaps with both of these:

  • 24 of 38 PRAC knowledge statements overlap with IDFX
  • 14 of the 38 PRAC knowledge statements overlap with IDPX

Much of the content we're reviewing is essentially the same as far as studying goes, yet the major difference is with the type or format of questions and the level of detail and application.

We show you exactly how this applies in each lesson at the bottom, along with relevant work experience, and your reading review.

Study with our team of Certified Interior Designers

By studying together, we're able to have more meaningful and helpful discussions in the study group, led by our team of NCIDQ Certified interior designers. We also cover a variety of member questions for each exam during live office hours. This helps us benefit from the collective wisdom of the group, so we can help each other.

We've designed the structure to accommodate everyone, whether:

  • you're just taking 1 exam and want to purchase exam season access
  • you're planning on taking 2 or more exams over the next year, or
  • you plan to study for both the spring and fall exams
