This study guide is based on the 2026 edition of the Software Engineering Basic Theory book and contains explanations of past exam questions in preparation for the IT Professional Level 7/5, Military Personnel, Supervisory Officer, and Information System Supervisor exams. It includes all the latest and unpublished past exam questions to help you improve your skills.

Recently, the trend in software engineering exams has been to include many questions that apply basic theories, and the number of questions in quality assurance, UML, and design patterns is steadily increasing.
Accordingly, this book has organized past exam questions by part in the same order as the theory book, so that test takers can quickly adapt to past exam questions, and has even restored unpublished questions to help test takers improve their skills to the level of a perfect score.

Features of this textbook

We've categorized past exam questions (2025-2010) by unit, so that test takers can easily see which sections were frequently tested and what types of questions were asked in each unit.
Additionally, we have included unpublished past exam questions for each unit, allowing you to identify and improve your weak areas in each unit by solving problems that fit the latest past exam question patterns.
