Congrats. I just found out I passed about 10 minutes ago. I was pretty nervous about MC as well. I felt good about the vignette as I did two days of doing it again and again where I started having my own process of quickly laying out elements and a good order of operations to have each task taken care of so I had plenty of time to walk through the program a few times to make sure everything was covered and where it should be located. I made a grid in the section using long 5' rectangles that stretched across the section grid and were placed at each 10' primary line.
The main thing I can pass along is you need to read all the CDS and SPD chapters.
I studied the following:
Ballast Chapters: 2,3,4,5,29,30,33,35,48-53,55,56
Vignette: 2 Days of taking the demo version again and again until it was like flying through Autocad or Rhino.
I also went through Bldg Codes Illustrated:Ch 1-8,10,14-16,19
I also used the NALSA iphone flashcard app and used that instead of visiting reddit when I was board and prone to browsing...i.e. time on the throne.
I failed CDS MC and made a point this time to take my time on MC. Go over each question 3 times just to make sure you read the question correct.
