Good to hear tmston2!
Did you use the Brightwood Q&A bank? I used them to prepare before and I thought they were not that great, but I will follow your advice, an hour a day for the next month and so to kill this one and PDD... My tests are October 12 and 13... let's see and good luck,,,

Congrats! Do you think the reason you failed the first 2 times is because you didn't use archi-flash and brightwood or were you just generally prepared more? I'm willing study just about anything and everything if it will help me pass my second try even though i've got a 10' stack of books that i've already studied...I had a large portion of WTF questions and many other people have complained about many of the questions being hypothetical or "best guess". Did you feel that any of your tests had more or less poorly worded questions?

Archiflash pro's for me:
- over 1,000 cards or organized by 4.0 division, by 18 diff content area's
- you can study by front or back
- you can organize how you want
- Best part for me was additional graphic content
- and wording is more parallel to a.r.e.

but I guess I didnt study enough for PDD, Super Shocked I failed :(

I did use brightwood q&A bank, on a scale of 1 -10, 10 being best I give them a 6.5. Even though after you take a few of their exams, they mix in about 10 -15 new questions, but the re-runs imprint on your brain.
