Manuel,
Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) Manual of Practice manual provides detailed guidance on organizing construction documents according to the MasterFormat system, a widely used standard in the U.S. construction industry.For hands-on study, reviewing specifications from real-life projects and using tools like MasterSpec can also be beneficial for gaining a comprehensive understanding of how MasterFormat is applied in practice.

When studying for PDD i used this pdf, it helped me understand where some of the individual spec sections were for Division 00. You're probably okay just memorizing the actual divisions though.

manuelgranja - In addition to the awesome resources and suggestions noted above, I recommend reading through your firm's specs/project manuals - ideally, for projects you have been involved with or are currently involved in! While it may seem overwhelming, it offers a realistic perspective and the opportunity to draw connections between the project manual and construction documents. Being involved in assembling project manuals and reviewing construction submittals helped me see firsthand how spec sections are organized, what each division/section entails, and how they are used to evaluate construction conformance with design.
Hope this helps. Happy studying!
