Hi Said - I have been using Amber Book Video series test prep courses to help prepare for all 6 Exams including PcM. Right now I'm prepping for my first exam (PcM) and the Amber Book video series is helping me tremendously as I rather watch videos on various topics (than read a physical book). I do supplement the video series with some additional book research and some additional google research as needed. In the past (before finding the Amber Book test prep) I have used Ballast ARE 5.0 Book and NCARB Kaplan series. I have also heard other friends/fellow coworkers say they have used: Black Spectacles and Designer Hacks as other options I have heard of. Good Luck!!!
