Interior Design Reference Manual: A Guide to the Ncidq Exam 2nd Edition

This is the absolute bible to the ncidq. its a must read as its very basic and to the point. the questions weer similar to what was actually asked on the test, and its a great preparation. there has been newer editions since this one. but i strongly recommending investing on Ballast's reference manual when you are planning to take the ncidq.

I loved this book because it has SO MUCH great information about starting yoru Interior Design business! A great book! I highly recommend! I give it a A+++

Mostly worthless information presented in a very unhelpful format. Waste of money.

Helpful overview in preparing for the NCIDQ

This is a required text in my Construction Documents Course at Parsons School of Design. The Guide is indespensible for Interior Designers and Future Interior Designers.

this one's the best book to study for the NCIDQ. but they need to make an updated version. i just took the ncidq and items on the test but not in the book were drapery, carpet and wallcovering calculations and sustainable design.
