FBC 4th Edition

Postby cuervo383 » Tue Sep 26, 2017 10:39 pm

Hi all, starting to study for this test, and I see that a lot of folks have been reading the FBC book. I have the 4th edition from when I went to school. Is this still ok to read? Or would it be too outdated?

I also have Kaplan and Ballast materials.

Anything else you think I need to review?

Thanks!

Here is my take on FBC. I only did the review questions from each chapter and reviewed all the pic's and diagram at least 3x. At one time you could find the review question on-line but I think they moved them to a paid service.
I used Kaplan, Ballast, Jenny, Chin, ARchiflash, ARE Exam Prep whole enchilada and notes found along the way from the old ARE Forum. I did not waste my time reading the whole FBC from cover to cover. I failed the first time because of the stair vignette not the MC and passed
it the second time. Good Luck.

Thanks for the info Pearldrums! So I think i'll still use this 4th edition, and review it.I have all the other items you listed, except for the ARE Exam prep...which one is that? Also, did you mean the Ching book - Building Construction Illustrated?

hi pearldrums,

Gang Chen is one study material, which one is the second study material?
Also, the Review Questions from FBC you referred to are the ones at the end of each Chapter, is this correct?
many thanks!
