I took PPD back in November 2016. When they finally released the scores, I failed So I rescheduled for a week and a half later. I studied everything I had before (well mostly my notes from the previous PPD test) as well as everything I had for PDD and looked through more BDCS info from 4.0 exams. Took the test and still felt terrible about it. I felt like on the first round, I had a ton of MEP questions. Then this round, I had way more structures questions. Found out a failed AGAIN

Any advice would be helpful. I had been studying from Ballast 5.0, but I feel like it is not very good material. I need to look into some other material but REALLY dont want to buy a whole other set of books for one test. I have a few of the resource books from when I was in grad school, but they are so huge! Is there any way to tell which chapters I need from those books? I am scheduled to retake the exam in mid-May.
Thanks in advance!!
