Just passed all of my exams on the first try!! I would highly recommend Amber Books to anyone considering it. While it was not the only study material that I used, it was a great way to stay motivated and better understand the material, especially for visual learners. It's also very helpful as a resource to know what areas you may want to focus on more for each exam. Especially if you are planning on taking multiple sections at once as I did. A lot of the content overlaps and is presented that way in their videos which helps you get the most out of your study time.

  It's pretty steep.  Did you pay for it yourself or go into it w/ a group.  I was thinking of trying to get some people on this forum to go in on it together with me.  Just curious if you tied that and whether there were any snags?  Thx!

  I went in on the subscription with a partner so the price was much less. My partner is on a completely different timeline than me taking the exams but they let you pause and restart the subscription independently of each other and still honor the price throughout. I think I paused it 2 times throughout for a few months in between my exams, process was pretty smooth!

  I sent them an email, but there was no action or response, really frustrating since price is not cheap. Also fail my PcM yesterday. Was heavily relying on Amber, but unfortunately fail(((Ahhhh

  Hi Christine,

  I am currently enrolled in the Amber Book course. Super clear and easy to follow so far.

  May I ask which supplementary books/materials you used to study for the exams?

   

  Thanks!

  Ben from hyperfinearchitecture.com made this worksheet for people to join a group and get an extra $20 off the group discount per person. Just need two more for the group I'm in.

  Hi Christine. Can you elaborate on exactly how you used amber book? Did you diligently go through all the sections in order? What additional resources did you use and how did you incorporate them into your studies?
