UPDATE: I passed. Thoughts on what I did different at the bottom of this thread.
I am struggling to pass PPP. I just got my results and I failed on my second attempt and stepped backwards from my first attempt. First try I received a "1" on all sections but building codes and regulations. This second attempt I received a "2" on the Vignette and a "3" on building code and regulations.
I am extremely frustrated as I would like to transition to 5.0 but without PPP I cannot follow the 5-exam plan. I have passed CDS and I am currently studying for my first attempt at SPD. I have one more retake of PPP (my first try was November 2017) and I feel a lot of pressure to pass.
I used Archiflash, jennys notes, carolines notes, richs notes, kaplan, ballast.....pretty much anything that has been suggested on here that is free. Is whole enchilada worth purchasing or black spectacles? Or do I just stay the course with my materials and just try for the best.
I've always been a good test taker and never encountered any issues before the ARE's which adds to my extreme frustration. I'm sure there are many in the same boat as me, words of wisdom, advice, anything would help!
