Hi all, I'm at a loss here. Just got my second PDD fail and I want to jump into the next retake. I'm evaluating my study plan, because I feel I've covered so much of the material- and had no trouble with PPD or the "big 3" 4.0 exams, which should be helpful to this test. The only resource I haven't used is the Amber videos, and I'm curious of they approach things differently or if it's more of the same information?
I can't imagine cramming my brain with more: properties of materials, hvac, plumbing, acoustics, wall details, foundations, CD and SPD info etc. I feel like so few questions on the exam are testing these areas. After spending on/studying Ballast (4.0), MEEB, Building Construction Illustrated, Building Codes Illustrated, AHPP, the Black Spectacles videos, ARE flash cards, 4.0 BS/BDCS/SS ballast and kaplan practice exams- not to mention studying Caroline's notes, youtube videos, links from this forum-- How much new material can there be to cover? I feel like I could give detailed lectures on refrigeration circuits by now.
What's the best way to cater this massive amount of information to the twisted questions on the ARE? I feel more like I'm lacking strategy than data. Any suggestions greatly appreciated!
