I've taken CE and PJM twice now and did not pass. Any suggestions on what to do. I've used AHPP, ballest, AIA documents, practice exams (NCARB).

  Mix in new study materials. The Hanahan lectures are good.  You probably need more practice exams too.  And I'd reread all the materials you mentioned.  I have specific outlines and sequencing too, but it depends on your background.

  How much experience do you have in the field and what do you do?

  If you can send me your score reports I could help you chart a new course.

  I've been working for 2+ years as a project coordinator on multi family residential projects.

  Practice Management: Passed content area 4, close on area 3.

  Construction and Evaluation: Passed all but content area 3

  I think perhaps you are misreading the score reports. The bottom one you failed all the sections. The top one you did not come very close to passing area 3. 60% when you need 72% (?).  You failed all the sections except area 4.

  You actually came closer to passing CE. But the way ncarb designs the exams you cannot pass if you fail the largest section of the exam. Area 2 & 3 are the big ones for CE each about 30% of the exam.  And you only scored 50% on area 3.  I’m just trying to help you understand the score report.

  Keep studying!  Try to get varied experience at work.  Tag along on site observations if possible, and project construction meetings.  Ask questions.  

  GL!
