PPD - 3 Fails
I failed PPD for the third time over the weekend. Feeling discouraged and confused. I felt like this version of the exam was very challenging and there was a lot of content I'd never seen. I've used used for following resources to study:
- Architect Exam Prep for surface level information
- HyperFine Practice questions
- Heating, Lighting, Cooling
- PEA
- FEMA chp 4 and 5
- ASC for structures and mechanical systems
- WeARE for practice questions (although these haven't been a great reflection of the exam)
Between the three attempts I've passed each section, just can't seem to pass all sections in one go! My "scaled score" was 520 this last time. So I was close??
If anyone has any guidance on how I can make sure I'm better prepared for PPD I would greatly appreciate it! Thankful for the community.

Hi Whitney,
It sounds like you were close to passing, though I know how defeating this feels.
Your list of study materials sounds appropriate. How much of those books did you read/absorb though? How did you do managing the clock? How did you do on the case studies?? How many days of practice exams did you do leading up to your exam date?
If you want to email me your exam report, I will take a look at it.
