I only have PDD exam left. I am using Amber Book for the first time, and like to understand which chapters I need to study and which ones to skip. I am assuming I need to study following chapters: Systems, Constructions, Site, and Codes . Anything in "Pro Practice" chapter?

Specially I want to make sure I cover study materials related to "Project Manual & Specifications" + "Construction Cost Estimates."

The course is designed to take all 6 together, so the structure of the study material is confusing when you only have one exam left. Any recommendation?

P.S. I've seen Amber Book matrix, but that is not detailed and doesn't provide detailed breakdown of the topics related to the exams.

  In the Aber Book ARE Prep Materials go to the Thermal 3.0 Tab.

  Amber Book Breaks out the study items per Exam for their Website. 

  I'm on the exact same track as you. PDD is my last exam. He has great content and delivery in my opinion.

  Stephen, I've seen that. It doesn't explain which PDD topic is covered in which Amber book chapter. Also I don't see "Project Manual & Specifications" + "Construction Cost Estimates" in the first priority list in the chart you mentioned.

  Neda,

  PDD was also my last exam. I discovered Amberbook late in the game so I used it to study for 1 exam at a time. For PDD I watched All “Codes” All “Systems” and the Enclosure & Structures videos from “Construction.” As far as Project Manual, Specs & Construction Cost Estimates I read AHPP and Ballast. Hope this helps.

  Neda Mohsenianrad here is the study priority matrix for the Amber Book course! For PDD you'll want to review all sections, even Pro Practice. About 15% of the questions you'll run into will be related to Professional Practice.
