The ep reminds that the grade 1 builder examination results are managed on a rolling basis for a two-year cycle. Candidates are required to pass all four subjects during two consecutive examination years in order to obtain a qualification。
This means that you need to plan and pass all examinations rationally within a two-year “window” period, otherwise the achievement of the eligible subjects will be invalidated and rereferenced。
How the two-year rolling system works
The two-year rolling system requires candidates to pass the four subjects " construction engineering economy " , " construction engineering regulations and related knowledge " , " construction engineering project management " and " professional engineering management and practice " within two consecutive examination years。
For example, if you passed two subjects in 2025, only the two remaining subjects will be tested in 2026. If the remaining subjects are successfully passed in 2026, the certificate is obtained。
If only one subject is adopted in 2026, then the two subjects adopted in 2025 will fail, and in 2027 you will have to re-apply to three subjects (i. E. Two that expired in 2025 and one that was not adopted in 2026)。
02 special rules for the exemption of candidates from examination and additional examination
Candidates who meet the conditions for exemption (e. G., from the economy and project management) have a one-year validity period. Such candidates must pass the remaining two subjects within one examination year, otherwise all subjects of the following year must be re-applied。
The one-year validity rule applies equally to candidates who have obtained a first-degree builder's certificate and need to be added to other professions. They only have to take the examination for the subject " professional engineering management and practice " , but must pass in the same year or re-apply the following year。
03 preparatory strategy and planning recommendations
Priority is given to the difficult subject: professional engineering management and practice, which is recognized as a difficult subject to adopt, and it is recommended that more than 50 per cent of the pre-screening time be devoted to it. For the first year, priority is given to the examination of this subject, which will reduce the pressure for the second year。
Rational allocation of subjects for the examination: the common strategy is the “2+2” model. Two subjects in the first year and two more in the second year) or the “3+1” model (three in the first year and one in the second year)。
Avoiding delay: it is recommended that as many subjects as possible be passed in the first year, rather than leaving all pressure to the second year. If only one section is adopted in the first year, the three remaining sections must be adopted in the second year, otherwise there would be a risk that achievements would be invalidated。
04 common errors and concerns
The effectiveness of cross-provincial examinations: the first-level builder is national in nature, the results are national and cross-provincial in nature will not affect the rolling cycle of achievement。
The rolling cycle of achievement is calculated as “test year”: the rolling cycle of achievement is calculated as “test year”, not related to natural year。
Timely follow-up of policy changes: although the announcement of the 2025 adjustment of the period of achievement has not been published, candidates are advised to follow the new policy of the ministry of construction or the provincial personnel examination network prior to the examination in order to prevent changes。
Planning your two-year clearance plan: first year, priority is given to professional engineering management and practice, and sufficient time is allocated to public subjects。
In the second year, every effort was made to sprint the remaining subjects and use the results retained in the previous year to ensure successful customs clearance during the rolling cycle。
If this year, unfortunately, it has not been possible to conduct a calm analysis of the rolling performance through the full range of subjects, develop a preparatory strategy for the following year, and focus on the non-passed subjects。
