Hey guys, I thank everyone for the tips you guys give here I took my PJM test and failed for the second time... I failed the same sections... Project work planing and project quality control. Does anyone have any additional questions I can buy to practice. So far I have read The architects handbook and follow all the advice from young architects I even purchased their PJM course which helped a lot. But those two section again I got a level three. HELP!

  Hi Johana, i failed PJM as well, also failing the identical sections as yourself, so you are not alone. I think failing some tests is just part of the process.
  Was you second test similar in content as your first? I had a lot of schedules/charts in my first test.

  Hey Andrew
  Honestly I can’t recall much from my first try.
  I did however has a lot of scheduling questions when it came to the bar graph itself. Which I was surprised because I did my best to understand those.

  Hi Johana,

  What study materials did you use for the test, besides the AHPP?

  Hi Claire, 

   

  I studied everything they recommend on the NCARB handbook, 

  plus the young architects contracts and PJM course they offer, designer hacks questions and I also have the Ballast book. 

   

  Thank you

  Hi Johana, 

  I'd recommend picking up the PPI book for this division (all of the divisions). I only used those two resources, and found them immensely helpful to pass the test. PPI also has practice problems and practice exam books, which do have some typos/errors in them, but those are definitely what helped me pass the PjM exam.

  Hi,
  PPI book is the same as the ballast. The ARE Review manual?! Because I have those too 😞😞 but thank you so much! I shall go over them again and take it again. I think I need to look into more grantt bar schedules. I felt pretty uncomfortable with those questions.

  Hi, 

  Sorry, yes, PPI/Ballast is the same thing! I meant to say the Brightwood books, they do have a couple bar chart/schedule examples in there if that's what you're looking for. I used the Brightwood books and PPI books to take my exams so far. Let me know if you need any help, and good luck :)
