Any good sources for PJM?
I took a PJM test today. This is my first test since I started working at architecture firms. I used as my study materials for these Achiprep, Designershack. BUT, When I looked at the actual questions today, I was totally different what I have seen before.
I am just wondering about How I find out any good test resources for quiz?
Thank you.

For PjM the best resources are the AIA documents listed in NCARB handbook. There are a few important AIA forms you need to focus on. You just need to know what to focus on: You just think like an architect, and focus on what I should do if I am an architect. You need to read the AIA forms quite a few times to really understand digest the information.
If you are good at reading and a good exam-taker, you can easily pass PjM. Besides, you do learn a lot by studying for PjM and reading the AIA forms, and it will help you perform better at work too.
The AIA forms are a major part of PjM and a few other divisions.

Read the AHPP, the section called Project Delivery. I'd also study the AIA contracts A101, B101 and the A201. Hanahan lectures are good for understanding these, if you haven't had much professional exposure to the contracts in practice. I used a 3rd party practice exam provider. It wasn't one of the ones you mentioned though. The demonstration exam (accessed from inside your NCARB) is the best practice exam, but NCARB doesn't give you the answers, so you have to look them up. Attached is a pic of how to access the demonstration exam, in case you're unsure. Ballast is a solid option, in my opinion for mock exams, but I didn't use theirs for this exam specifically. I'd also read the section in the Ballast Exam Review book for PjM. Best wishes and keep studying!
