Going to start off with PcM as I begin my ARE 5.0 journey
Hello, everyone!
I want to take PcM as my first exam. Any advice and study material/pointers I should concentrate most on and how long study time is for this particular exam? From what I've read through this community, Schiff Hardin Lectures, AHPP seem most useful. Any study guides/tips and insight from anyone who's passed it the first try would be greatly appreciated!

The most important resource is NCARB’s ARE handbook, start by reading it carefully a few times.

Hello Christopher,
I would recommend to first focus of AHPP and ARE 5.0 Handbook. I believe AHPP is the key material to prepare PcM.
It may vary but normally people study around a month or two before you take the exam.
AHPP covers a massive amount of information. Most of the information is very useful, however, it may be too vast for you read through in a month. I recommend to check it out the link below. This may help you narrow down the chapters you have to focus on. Also, MyAREguide can be a great help if you need some practice questions.
Good luck and welcome to ARE!

I made a YouTube video with my tips for the Practice Management exam. I have given this advice to 20+ friends and colleagues and they have all passed. Hopefully this helps! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTme7fsJBhw
