Hi Greek, I find that Jenny and Carolyn are the best. For other exams, when I had more time, I'd make their guides into flashcards, but I don't have enough time for that these days. I also have been working for an A/E firm for 8 years, and a regular architectural firm 5 years before that, so I think that helped too, since I've put tons of drawings together, have Code knowledge, and have done CA. Schiff Hardin really crystalized contractual stuff for me and was a painless way to supplement reading over the actual contracts, since I listened to it during commutes. There was certainly useful stuff in NPS Historic Pres guidelines, but like everyone says that's a very low return comparing bulk of study material to probable number of questions. I made sure I knew ADA stuff but I've been drawing that for years now so it was mostly stuff I already knew. I did pass it on my first try, maybe 3-4 weeks of study which was split between PPP & SPD. Prayed pretty regularly about it all too. Hope you do great, and will pray for you as well!
