FIDIC Practice Test

The FIDIC Practice Test is a free intermediate-level, 20-minute skill test from Science of Apps. It tests working knowledge of FIDIC contracts — the 2017 Rainbow Suite and contract roles, time, programme and completion, payment, variations and risk, and claims, the DAAB and dispute resolution — written to the FIDIC Conditions of Contract for Construction (Red Book) 2nd edition 2017, reprinted 2022, and related FIDIC guidance for 2026. Clause numbers and time limits follow the 2017 Red Book unless the question says otherwise. Score 70% or more on its 20 questions to earn a verifiable FIDIC Readiness certificate (SOA-FX). Every question is based on published standards and research — including FIDIC Conditions of Contract for Construction (Red Book), 2nd edition 2017, reprinted 2022 with amendments (FIDIC), FIDIC contracts (FIDIC) — and each answer is explained with its source.

Yes. The questions are original scenarios written by Science of Apps, and each one is based on a public source you can read: FIDIC Conditions of Contract for Construction (Red Book), 2nd edition 2017, reprinted 2022 with amendments (FIDIC); FIDIC contracts (FIDIC). The source is shown under each question and linked in the answer review. Science of Apps doesn't copy questions from other tests.

Four skill areas with five questions each, drawn from a bank of 10 per area so a retake brings new questions: FIDIC Suite and Contract Roles (The Rainbow Suite, Parties and the Engineer and Notices and documents); Time, Programme and Completion (Commencement and programme, Extensions of time and Taking over and defects); Payment, Variations and Risk (Payment certificates, Variations and Exceptional Events and risk); Claims and Disputes (Claims procedure, DAAB and Amicable settlement and arbitration). Every question is an original scenario written to the 2026–2027 standard, with the published source named under it.

Contract or commercial manager, Quantity surveyor, Construction claims consultant, Project or site engineer on international projects and Contract administrator ("the Engineer"). It suits anyone who wants a quick, verifiable way to show FIDIC knowledge in 2026 and 2027, from students and career switchers to experienced professionals.

FIDIC publishes standard international construction contracts known by colour: the Red Book for construction designed by the Employer, the Yellow Book for plant and design-build, the Silver Book for EPC/turnkey projects, the Green Book short form and the Emerald Book for underground works. The 2017 editions were reprinted in 2022 with amendments.

Under Sub-Clause 20.2, a party must give a Notice of Claim no later than 28 days after it became aware, or should have become aware, of the event. If it does not, it may lose its entitlement, subject to the limited relief in the 2017 procedure. A fully detailed claim normally follows within 84 days.
