Recommended Study Guide Direction
NCARB and any recent 5.0 Construction and Evaluation Exam takers, do you have any guidance or direction in where I should begin my studying or have a focus on? I am scheduled to take this exam at the end of December and would like to have a very strategic approach to my studying.
I have read through and gathered reference material from the suggested list and matrix, however these references seem so broad (do I read it ALL?).
At this time, I have also downloaded/printed all recommended Contract Documents for review and familiarity.
Any further guidance/direction apart from the NCARB issued prep videos (already viewed multiple times) and suggested materials would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hey Alicia,
One thing we have been recommending is to use the ARE 5.0 Handbook to structure your testing. Spend more time on the areas that you aren't as comfortable with and less time on areas you have more experience. Don't read all of the resources, but find the chapters and sections that are for specific topics.
Hope this helps. What do others on here recommend??

Thank you, Ryan.
Exactly what I have been doing. I wish more people had some insight!
I know 5.0 is taking a different approach than the 4.0 exams, but in your opinion, would the 4.0 Kaplan Construction Documents and Services study guide being of any use? I find the information very helpful in general, but do not want to waste critical time reading information that you feel will not serve the purpose of the Construction and Evaluation exam in 5.0.
