Finally a Pass!!!!!

Feels so surreal. A 5 year journey, after today, has finished. I calculated the amount of times I have taken the exams ARE & CSE included, and it came out to be 16 times in total! Horrible test taker but the journey is finally over. Definitely did not want to take this exam again so I made sure to not miss any study material. I was sure I failed as I walked out and asked the proctor to fold it and put it in an envelope, but as soon as I felt the thickness of the envelope, I knew it was not like the other times I had failed so I opened and gave her a nice hug.

I studied the following this time around :

-Woo Material x2
-Woo Mock Exams x2
-Whole Enchilada x2
-Whole Enchilada Exams x2
-All of Whole Enchiladas recommended readings
-Gang Chen Mock Exam
-Schiff Hardin Lectures x2 & Read the contracts another time
-Significant chapters from AHPP regarding firm related experience
-Architects Practice Act
-Caroline Notes CDS
-Cal Green
-Accessibility Guidelines from CBC
-Chapter 7A from CBC
-Permit Checklists for most plan check corrections - This helped me a lot
-Relevant Agency websites when I was not clear about certain things
-Pass by Flash Cards x3

Way to go man!

So of all the extensive list of materials you studied, which sources did you feel were the most critical or helpful? And how did you prepare for the Project Scenario portion? Also, when you say 'permit checklists', you're just referring to your own projects right?

Thanks and congratulations again. Looking forward to being where you're being!
