What's assessed

5 domains, 35 questions in total — drawn from the course lessons.

• The planner's frame: from a live cell to a document set

  7 questions

  The chain from a search ring to a parameter sheet and who owns each step; a coverage commitment as a rate paired with a fraction of locations; the constraint that binds; and a receiver noise floor and sensitivity derived rather than looked up.

• Propagation and prediction: the loss side, and how far to trust it

  7 questions

  Three families of model and what each returns; the four terms every path-loss formula is built from; scenario validity envelopes; shadow fading turned into a margin you can spend; the building class; and what tuning does and does not achieve.

• The budget that ends in a cell radius

  7 questions

  Three metrics a datasheet quotes as one; four gain-like quantities and the stated conditions that zero two of them; the published column row by row with every row tagged; which channel sets the cell edge; and decibels turned into a site count.

• Capacity, quality, and the grid you actually inherit

  7 questions

  Three capacity numbers and what each holds fixed; the quality surface a coverage plot cannot supply; an offered load built from four assumptions; what one cell carries; selecting a layer from an inherited site list; and the regime verdict with its headroom.

• Parameter planning and the design handover

  7 questions

  The four resources that survive the end of frequency planning; physical cell identity structure, collision and confusion; the cyclic shift trading radius against preambles; neighbour discovery; tracking-area sizing; and the package that leaves your desk.
