Hi! I failed PPD the second time today, I was more confident the second time but still, I failed. I used Amber books, Elif questions, etc, and I felt pretty good before I took exams today, so now I feel a little lost, what else can I study to pass it next time. Thank you so much for any help!

    Follow this question. I am also preparing for the PPD and PDD exams, but I haven’t attempted them yet because there is so much information, and I don't feel confident enough to take the test at this point. Also, let me know if you need a study company!

    I posted a long response with some suggestions but NCARB is not releasing it as usual. The double standard at this forum is …. I am sorry Yuting. Please reach out to me in person so I can forward it to you.

    You should add the Architects studio companion, heating cooling and lighting, and MEEB to your study materials.

    I took and failed PPD for the third time yesterday, 12/23/24. Very frustrating as I realized it mid way that it was not going well. I thought I prepared myself well for this, my final ARE exam especially given I just passed PDD last month and there is overlap with the two. I honestly don't know what is worse at this point, failing the first one multiple times or failing the last one multiple times.  Anyway, putting my foot forward to prepare for the next opportunity in 60 days. Elif Bayram I would greatly be interested in heating your suggestions if you wouldn't mind?

    I am sorry Hernan… I wish PPD wasn’t such a struggle for everyone. NCARB blocks some of my posts and allows some. Don’t know why. I guess all the chatter about supporting minorities, women etc is just talk. Sama goes for AIA.
    Anyway, please email me so I can send you the response they don’t let me post here.They don’t even let me to post my email so please google it. Sorry.

    One day we will all pass this exam. Took it Dec 8 and fail 6. And again, if you look at all tests overall, I have passed each content area at least once. It puzzles the mind indeed.
