I thought I would start with a good note:
I Got the news yesterday by verifying the state board website, this was my 4th exam so far 3 pass 1 fail,
Study Material:
Kaplan Online for PPP (I did not use the Books)
Kaplan Online Mockup exams
Kaplan Flash cards on Paper and iPhone.
Ballast Chapters for SPD and PPP
PPI Sample test (Skimmed, didn't have enough time to go through)
Jenny's Notes (Skimmed as well)
The ARE Forum for the Vignette.
My impressions at the exit were really mixed, I was really confused about the MC. I knew I had a big chunck right, but there wre as well another chunck where i didn't even undestand the question to make a guess, the vignette was a staight forward one, the same as teh NCARB one, not harder not easier.
What helped passing I believe was the fact that I had studied for the CDS (passed) and the SPD (Failed) before studying for the PPP
I would really encourage anyone to study for both SPD and PPP, If I knew what I know now after studying for PPP i would have passed SPD, these two definitly need to be passed together.
I'm trying to pass the all sections on an accelerated pace, i'm scheduled for one exam each month, my next one is the SS.
Wish me good Luck
I will try to post a sample of note taking for the vignette, this method cut my time by half.
