CDS - Its a Pass!!! Thanks all!!

Thanks all for your help!!

What I studied:

-Went through every page of "The architects handbook of Professional Practice" (TAHOPP)- from Table of contents to Index.
-2003 Archiflash Cards - Watch out though. It refers to 16 spec divisions and outdated AIA contract numbers - but the cards were still very helpful
-Read AIA contracts A101, A201, A401,A503, B101, A132, A141, others (review Table 17.1 in TAHOPP)
-Kaplan CDS chapters
-Rich's notes, Jenny's notes
-Vignette Alts
-Youtube vignette

Congrats! Hoping for similar results on 5/22. Quick question for you. Contracts A132, A141, A401, A503 aren't on NCARB's list. I know NCARB says their list is NOT exhaustive, but even so with over 180 contract documents available, what prompted you to review these? Further, where did you get them? Did you purchase?

Thanks!

Congratulations! I also just passed, 2nd attempt. I failed just the vignette portion the first time.

I relied heavily on Ballast book and Ballast sample questions with answers, this forum, also delved into AHHP when I waned more detailed info, read Professional Practice (Paul Segal's book, a bit outdated), heavily studied the NCARB-noted contracts and listened to the relevant Schiff Hardin lectures about 4 times and listened to all the lectures once, they are really helpful. I had to do the 3.1 and 4.0 vignette practices about 8 times, plus two on paper, before I found a method that was fast enough for me to beat the clock and still have time to review my work. Good luck everyone! On to PPP...
