DAI's current outline contains 150 questions across five modules and its testing process identifies CBT and interview. This independent bank uses 30 English-language MCQs for knowledge review; it is not an official translation, full format simulation, or replacement for interview practice.

Sample Uji Kompetensi Arsitek Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Uji Kompetensi Arsitek exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 30+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1At the start of architectural programming, which action best turns a client's initial wishes into a defensible design brief?
A.Document users, activities, spatial relationships, constraints, and measurable performance needs
B.Select a façade style before discussing operations
C.Copy the room list from the client's previous building
D.Fix the structural grid before confirming required functions
Explanation: A useful brief connects users and activities to space, relationships, constraints, and performance criteria. It gives the design team a traceable basis for evaluating later alternatives rather than treating preferences as settled solutions.
2A site analysis finds intense afternoon sun from the west, a noisy arterial road on the north, and a valuable public view to the east. Which early design response is most coherent?
A.Place all quiet rooms on the north edge and fully glaze the west façade
B.Ignore the road because acoustic treatment can be added after construction
C.Use service or buffer spaces toward the road, control west solar gain, and organize public spaces toward the eastern view
D.Rotate every room toward the west so all elevations receive the same treatment
Explanation: The response integrates acoustic buffering, climate control, and the site's positive visual asset. Early massing and zoning usually handle these interacting constraints more effectively than isolated late-stage products.
3Which representation is most useful for testing whether a hospital concept separates public, clinical, service, and contaminated flows before detailed plans are drawn?
A.A bubble-and-flow diagram showing adjacencies and movement paths
B.A material finish schedule
C.A final reflected ceiling plan
D.A photorealistic exterior rendering
Explanation: A relationship and flow diagram makes required adjacencies and incompatible circulation visible before geometry becomes fixed. This allows the architect to compare organizational concepts while changes are still inexpensive.
4What is the main purpose of distinguishing primary, secondary, and service circulation in a complex building?
A.To give every corridor the same width and finish
B.To eliminate the need for vertical circulation
C.To keep all users on one undifferentiated route
D.To make movement legible while reducing conflicts among users, goods, staff, and emergency functions
Explanation: A circulation hierarchy clarifies wayfinding and assigns suitable routes to different operational needs. It also helps the team manage security, accessibility, servicing, and emergency movement without unnecessary conflicts.
5Two concept schemes meet the room schedule, but one has shorter service routes while the other preserves more mature trees. What is the most defensible way to recommend a scheme?
A.Choose the scheme that was drawn first
B.Choose the scheme with the larger gross floor area
C.Average the two plans without reassessing their performance
D.Compare both against agreed weighted criteria, state the trade-offs, and record the client's decision
Explanation: A transparent criteria matrix relates the recommendation to the accepted brief and makes competing values explicit. Recording the trade-offs also creates a sound basis for client approval and subsequent development.
6During design development, a daylight simulation reveals glare at workstations despite adequate average illuminance. Which response best demonstrates iterative design?
A.Keep the façade unchanged because the average illuminance target was met
B.Remove all windows from the affected elevation
C.Replace the daylight analysis with an energy-cost estimate
D.Adjust aperture geometry, shading, surface reflectance, or workstation placement and rerun the simulation
Explanation: Iteration changes relevant variables and tests whether the revised design improves both daylight sufficiency and visual comfort. The simulation is evidence for refinement, not a one-time compliance artifact.
7Which urban-design move most directly strengthens an active pedestrian edge along a mixed-use street?
A.Locate frequent entrances and transparent active uses along the sidewalk
B.Place blank service walls along the entire frontage
C.Move all public activity behind a large surface car park
D.Consolidate every entrance into a loading yard
Explanation: Frequent access points and visible activity support pedestrian interest, surveillance, and continuity. Service needs still require accommodation, but they should not dominate the public edge.
8A community center must serve wheelchair users, older adults, children, and people with limited vision. Which approach best applies inclusive design at concept stage?
A.Add a separate accessible entrance after the main plan is complete
B.Provide one route for wheelchair users and a different route for everyone else
C.Rely on staff assistance instead of resolving physical barriers
D.Integrate step-free routes, perceptible wayfinding, suitable clearances, and usable amenities into the primary spatial system
Explanation: Inclusive design treats access as a core organizing condition rather than a later attachment. An integrated primary route improves dignity, legibility, and usability for a wide range of occupants.
9A 4,000 m² site has an applicable KDB of 45%. What is the maximum building footprint under that single control?
A.1,200 m²
B.1,800 m²
C.2,200 m²
D.4,450 m²
Explanation: KDB limits the portion of site area occupied by the building footprint, so 4,000 × 0.45 = 1,800 m². Other controls can further restrict the buildable footprint and must be checked separately.
10A site has an area of 2,500 m² and an applicable KLB of 2.4. A proposal uses 1,000 m² on each of six floors. Ignoring any exclusions, what should the architect conclude?
A.The proposal exceeds the KLB allowance by 1,000 m²
B.The proposal is 1,000 m² below the KLB allowance
C.The proposal exactly meets the KLB allowance, while other controls still require separate checks
D.KLB regulates only building height, so floor area is irrelevant
Explanation: The allowable total floor area is 2,500 × 2.4 = 6,000 m², which equals six floors of 1,000 m². This conclusion addresses KLB only; footprint, height, setbacks, and other requirements remain separate checks.
