Global Test Scores Posted by MEP Engineers

MEP Engineers from across the world have submitted a wide variety of KS test scores, in recent years. Let’s take a more detailed look at the people behind the headline stats.

We capture some interesting user demographic data at the start of each test session. This includes the following questions:

- Primary Industry/Discipline
- Primary Role
- Country & State
- Self rating
- How many years have you used this tool?
- Where did you learn to use this tool?
- How often do you use this tool? (Daily, weekly, occasional)
- How did you learn to use this tool? (On the job, Formal training, College)

The top 2 tests completed by MEP Engineers are, in order (by volume):

Revit MEP
AutoCAD

The results data comes from a wide range of countries and territories, primarily, US, Canada, UK, Australia, South Africa, Singapore, HK and Middle East regions.

Here are the overall results:

Revit MEP

Avg score/time for:

Regular users = 68.5% in 3110 secs

Part-time users = 65.7% in 3871 secs

1 to 5 years' experience (all types) = 56.6% in 3901 secs

6 to 10 years' experience (all types) = 68.7% in 3401 secs

On the job learning (all types) = 70.2% in 3781 secs

Formal learning (all types) = 64.8% in 3911 secs

The average Revit MEP self-rating score for MEP Engineers is: 3.8.

AutoCAD

Avg score/time for:

Regular users = 59.8% in 5356 secs

Part-time users = 54.9% in 4864 secs

1 to 5 years' experience (all types) = 52.7% in 5752 secs

6 to 10 years' experience (all types) = 57.5% in 5240 secs

11 to 15 years' experience (all types) = 54.7% in 5449 secs

On the job learning (all types) = 57.8% in 4516 secs

Formal learning (all types) = 55.1% in 4344 secs

The average AutoCAD self-rating score for MEP Engineers is: 3.4.

Trends:

Overall, regular users are more accurate and faster than part-time users.

MEP Engineers with 6 to 10 years' of experience with these tools are the most efficient. They reach a plateau in performance after c. 7 years and make no further productivity gains.

MEP Engineers who learn to apply these tools on projects are more accurate than those who have primarily formal training, but less practical experience. Formally trained users are faster overall than self-taught users.

MEP Engineers are generally confident in their ability to use technical software tools on Construction projects, although overall, there is still room for further improvement in their core skills.

MEP Engineers are more confident and more accurate using modeling software than drafting software.
