Okay - I've taken PPD 2x now and have managed to fail - 2x!
I realize it's not just about what you study but also about the questions you get as well - I've accepted that.
The question in 5.0 are a little confusing to me so I wanted to ask, without asking, the following..
During the last 20 questions of the exam, I'm asked to measure distances or list a number of items based on areas but theres no indication
of the area anywhere. Is there a measurement tool I'm missing or some skill that I'm not recalling that can help me here?
I've gotten questions about maintaining distances and have found myself using the graphic scale and kind of taking my best guess.
Outside of this - I've studied all of the same materials listed everywhere else and felt like the 2nd retake the questions were more vague than the 1st time. At least the first time was just me reading through confusing questions - the latest the questions came from everywhere BUT the recommended readings in the ARE Handbook.
and yes, they have fixed the darn pond questions and it was a little better after I read the required materials and understood.
Sorry if I gave away something that I was not supposed to - I tried to be as vague as possible.
