  I have failed PDD a couple of times. I never took CE since it was transferred over by the old 4.0 version. I wonder if reviewing CE material will prepare me further for the PDD.

  Yes!  CE content will help.  The content of CE has a few technical topics, a lot less and easier than PDD. I reviewed the Fundamentals book for CE.  And I've recently discovered the Building Construction, Principles, Materials and System book, which may be even better than the Fundamentals book.  It's over 900 pages though...  so maybe chose the chapters that cover the topics you know the least about (?).

  Good luck & I hope this helps!

  Thanks for the Tips! Yes I am currently reading Fund of Bldg Cons. But I will get the book you suggested.

  Looking at my score report, it looks like my weak areas are

  • Integration of Building Materials and systems
  • Project manual & Specs
