    Diana,

    Yes, this book is a monster.  Unfortunately, NCARB hasn't given any guidance on what to study from it.

    I remember at one point reading advice from a newly licensed female architect in a FB group.  She said she'd occasionally pick up AGS and thumb through it.  If there was a topic she wasn't familiar with, she'd read that section.  I know it *sounds* crazy, but researching topics you don't know much about is a good strategy.  Also learn how to read all the charts/diagrams.  

    I hope this helps & good luck studying!

    I think is better to the full BUILDING CONSTRUCTIONS ILLUSTRATED and Have the Graphic Standards as reference if you want to go a little bit deep in a detail. You can read ALL the Graphic Standards, but dont do it until you read and understand all the Building Construction Illustraded since cover a lot and is much easear to memorize and understand.

    Probably somethings missing in the BCI are some Electrical and HVAC details.
