Found out last week. Huge burden off my shoulders. This exam is the most annoying to study for... in my opinion. Here's the how and what:
Ballast
Jenny's notes for last minute and on-the-go reference.
MEEB for diagrams
Amber Book and videos. I did not do the course, just bought the book on Amazon and watched the you tube videos.
Practised the NCARB vignette 5 or 6 times, posted the solutions on his forum and learns from feedback. Thanks Coach and Sparky.
The MC in the exam was tedious. 20-30% of the questions had some sort of calculation involved. Many WTF questions that I took educated guesses on. Experience working in the profession helps with those. I did no have time to review the questions I marked.
The vignette was similar to the NCARB vignette. Without giving anything away, know how to read the light distribution diagrams well enough to tackle any curve balls that may come at you. The program could have more or less than the practice vignette.
On to BDCS. All the best to everyone.
