Hi all-- Just got my score back from PPD Yesterday afternoon. I passed in 4/5 content areas but bombed Project Integration of Program & Systems. Looking at this, I can appreciate that this test seems to accurately assess strengths and weaknesses. 4.0 simply doesn't do this. I think 5.0, really tests more innate abilities and knowledge due to the required speed and lack of study materials. For instance, I am in good with numbers and code, and easily got a 1 in those areas.
However, for project integration/systems, It seems difficult to study for. Besides the obvious pond/building orientation questions (I got 4), which I still don't have a clue how to answer, this portion seems super graphic heavy, and requires one to organize/synthesize spatial information really quickly.....(Kind of the heart of what we do).
I'm always open to creative study ideas and as of right now, my next approach is to focus heavily on Site Design/programming for half the time, and spend some additional time focusing on some spatial/organizational drills as well as the demo exam.
Does anyone else have a recommendation?
Thanks!
