Aside from studying Kaplan and Ballast text and tests, there are some books I saw on the NCARB exam guide listed as reference, which I have.
Let me know if what you recommend to study from each book, if any, or if there are only specific areas which I should focus on.
The Architect’s Handbook of Professional Practice
Building Construction Illustrated
Fundamentals of Building Construction
Thanks in advance!
There are a couple of books i would invest in buying because it's really useful. if you have not taken CDS or PPP yet, I would recommend get your hands on AHPP, as it is really helpful. I would also recommend FBC as it is also very useful for BDCS and you can always keep it as reference.
If you do buy the FBC, I would recommend you focus on this book first and pair it with the Grant Adams online course. it's around 20+ hrs and it gets quite in depth, but the course is well structured and in my opinion is better than some of the online courses available for purchase, but that's just me.
Or better yet, if you're on budget, just check it out from your local library. it doesn't matter what edition it is, i'm going thru the Third Edition now, but i also read the 5th ed in the library and i can tell you it's the same thing.
hope this helps
