i'm sorry this is your last chance to take SPD, i will have the same issue if i fail spd again.
i can't speak too much about Materials & technology, because i failed this one on my SPD 3 weeks ago as well.
for Code and Regulations, if you haven't read Caroline's CDS notes, you should read it.

[Coach]

this is last chance before the version changing.

Why is it your last chance? When were your other attempts?
What else have you passed?

Babyranie,
Thank you, good luck to you.

Coach,
I took SPD from August 2017 and this is third time. Version finished June 2018.

For these exams, cramming information in the last minute will not be a good solution as it will burn you out. It appears that you are not grasping the general concepts or maybe you're a nervous test taker.

What study material have you been reading? TWE? Kaplan? Balast? Have you been doing practice exams?

Out of the 7 AREs, SPD is the only one that failed, so I understand your struggle. I remember reading all three of the study guides above and I also signed up for the practice exams on DesignerHacks.com.

The Balast practice exams are quite difficult and that whole series of study material taught me a lot of things.

Message me your info and i can send you some PDFs to read.

And don't worry about the switch.....the material for this exam is also on the 5.0 version of the ARE.

Its probably a little too late but I suggest reviewing BDCS chapters and practice exams. The ballast BDCS practice booklet has very good questions relating to site planning,
sustainability, and materials and technology. I some questions in the booklet that were similar to the ones I saw on the exam

Good luck monday

gbalaka and Nobu,

Thank you for your comments. I have PPP and SPD to finish ARE since June 2017. But I failed five time in row.. I will test SPD next Monday. I have one more chance to test PPP on June this year but SPD is last chance before change the version. Worst part is I have to pass 4 subjects if I transfer to 5.0 version at this moment.

I need big luck..

Congrats cyan! I failed in the same contents plus level 3 on site design. Which study materials did you focus on for these contents?
