PjM fail - need advice – ARE 5.0 Community

Hi guys,

I likely failed the PjM this morning. I feel like I could pass after the multiple questions done, but really ran out of time to finish all Case Study quizs. Although still waiting for report to see which section is below passing line, I really need advice that how you guys prepare for the case study questions.

For case study, there are several questions asking about info can be found in the provided resource, like Zoning regulation, but I spent too much time and still couldn't find the right information. Do I need to generally familiarize these regulations before exam? or I need to leave more time for case study (this time I have about 70 mins left)? I feel that the test is not just examining the relevant knowledge you should know also how you can find information quickly.

I wonder how you guys prepare for case study questions.

Feel a little bit frustrated, really feel ready for this time, but the result doesn't match the expectation.

Very appreciate if there is any suggestion!

Hi Yanghui!

Don't forget, there is usually a search bar at the bottom of the case studies! It's a little magnifying glass. This will help you find certain topics quickly.

Smoked the NCARB practice test (91%), Ballast test from v1.0(blue book-80%) and 2.0 (yellow book 79%) and got a likely fail today. Went in with a high level of confidence on project work planning, contracts and entity responsibility - I saw a lot of reference to the 15th ed. of Arch handbook of professional practice in this forum and bought it today to keep on the bookshelf - hoping it's worth it.
