I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on where to start..
I currently have the following study materials:
Jenny's Notes
Caroline's Notes
Ballast Study Guide
Kaplan Study Guide
NCARB ARE Study Guide with MC/Vignette
Any other study material suggestions?
I'm not sure which ones to tackle first (it's slightly overwhelming)...
Thanks in advance!
Hi jylee, you can always refer to other posts in this forum generally titled "Pass & Done" or titles along that line, to see what others have studied to pass this exam. PPP is quite a difficult exam as it covers materials in many other exams (mainly SPD & CDS) so if you haven't taken those two exams already you might want to further expand your study materials to cover those topics as well. The study materials I would further recommend to add on top of your list is as follows:
Problem Seeking
AHPP
Schiff Hardin
AIA A201, B101, (there's several more, as it has been discussed as a list in another recent post, but these two i believe are the main documents you should really understand.)
Practice exams (get your hands on as many as possible, i use Ballast, Designer Hacks, and Black Spectacles)
Site Zoning Vignette by Ben Rudgers
also go over the EPA website for the environmental topics
Furthermore, i use the app Cram to make my own flashcards, this helps me with retaining the information better, and i can refer to this on my phone when i'm on the go, in the bus, the subway, etc..
Hope the above helps, and good luck to your exam!
