Incorrect spacing for all 2x4 lights.
Poor separation between supply & return in the architect's office. Min 4' is recommended.

Pass BS at my 2nd attempt! Took the exam in Nov 2017 and failed (but the materials I went through were really helpful for my BDCS 3rd time retake).
Took again last Tue and I only revised for 4 days right before my CDS exam (also got a pass! what a fantastic week!) and didn't feel great when I walked out from the test center due to very short preparation time :?

I had a really hard time on light fixture layout when I took the test first time. Use Dorf's approach this time (layout 2 sets of circles and moving around rooms to determine the layout), works really well for me.

Materials:
1st time:
Kaplan & Ballast & Practice Exams
Amber Book (No Video; book only... read after Kaplan & Ballast. Really good for reinforce fundamental concepts!)
Alkikat Building System Notes + Diagrams (Very Helpful for quick review!)
Jenny notes
Print out the “References Formula” and make notes on equations that you are not familiar with!

2nd time
Amber Book
Alkikat Building System Notes
Skim through Jenny notes
Review slides from AIA-Pittsburgh’s Young Architects Forum ARE Review Blog
References Formula with my personal notes
Dorf for Vignette

NO MEEB! :lol:
But I do recommend look through all the diagrams if you have free time, because there are questions with diagrams straight from MEEB!
