Looking at the NCARB 5.0 Handbook, PPD - Section 3 - Sample Item 5. So on the test, would we be expected to know that the Thermostats also need to be placed, even though there are no "answer boxes" at the location boxes, similar to the other 3 responses?!

  Hey Gerald,

  Good question on drag and place items. Not all DnP items contain answer boxes. Typically, text based DnP items will contain boxes so you know where to place the text (Boilers, Fan Room, etc.). However, in the sample item, you are also required to place a VAV terminal with a thermostat. In this case, you would need to know where VAV terminals are located (without a box identifying possible locations) and whether they need a thermostat or not. 

  A second item example without boxes might show a roof plan and ask where to place roof elements based on client requirements. My recommendation would be to be prepared to answer DnP items with both answer boxes and without boxes.
