P A S S E D !

I took the test September 25th and found out October 3rd, which was a lot earlier than I thought.

My study method:
- Read Ballast (Chapters 2, 5, 30, 35 and the lighting section in Chaper 32), made flashcards
- Skimmed Kaplan as a supplement
- Took all the practice exams Kaplan and Ballast had to offer
- Archiflash flashcards
- Jenny + Caroline’s Notes
- Read about Building Commissioning (https://www.wbdg.org/building-commissioning) and SWPP (https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/fi ... _guide.pdf). Didn’t get a lot of related questions for my test, but I’m still glad I read it for general concepts.

I studied during my lunch hour 3x a week and most of the weekends for about a month/month and a half. Vignettes weren’t too unexpected (I started practicing a week before the test, 2-3x a day), but I highly recommend practicing the alternate program (http://arehelp.webs.com/spd) so you don’t get too used to the parameters of the original practice vignette, and of course looking at everyone else's solutions here.

I passed CDs and PPP already, so I’m gonna chill for a bit and then start the transition! Thanks to ARE Coach, it’s been super helpful!

congratulations for passing the first 3!
is your Caroline's note titled as -PMD-SPD 2012? i've been trying to find her SPD notes and everyone said this is her notes, but the format is different than her PPP and SPD notes.

Jyll,

If you open and save a dwg file it won't work. When you download you need to save directly without opening in cad. You have to do it as the administrator.
