Building Construction Illustrated - What to study for PA?
Does anyone have any suggestions on which parts of building construction illustrated should be studied for PA exam? I take it in 2 weeks and not sure if its worth going through the whole book.
Thanks!

Shreya,
I personally did not read this book for the PA exam - I felt it was most applicable to PDD, and slightly applicable to PPD. This being said, you may want to look at some of the site and earthwork sections of BCI, and if it goes into soil types and soil reports, look at that as well.
Others may have different input, but that's my two cents, and based on my experience with the PA test I found this to be a correct approach. Now, the other BCI - Building CODES Illustrated - that is a good one for PA.

Shreya,Take a look at my post here for my study approach to PA. Scroll down past the paragraphs dealing with 4.0 / 5.0 transition and you'll see my full study guide, the code sections are outlined there. Others have found this helpful:
