Hi all, 

In about 5 weeks, I am taking PDD for the umpteenth (too embarrased to say how many times) times and need your help with cost estimates section. What are your recommended study materials for that section? 

Thanks and please let me know.

  After 6 fails, I passed all of my AREs by focusing on detailed note taking, flashcards, quizzes and practice exams. Active recall learning is very effective for AREs. I have documented the key lessons from my ARE experience on the Arniko Academy Blog. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions.
