Passed the PcM yesterday
I finally was able to retake the PCM yesterday and passed. I took it in March and failed so I had it scheduled to retake it in June and it was canceled. Yesterday was the soonest I could retake it. It was so good to finally get it done and passed.
Study materials:
Architect’s Handbook of Professional Practice, 15th edition
Hyperfine with the finance studdy coarse
Designer Hacks
I found that because I'm a very visual learner watching YouTube videos helped. I would take the Designer Hacks practice tests and watch videos of the areas I had trouble with.

Congrats Christopher!
I took Project Management a week after Practice Management, failed Practice Management but passed Project Management that next week. I studied for the two exams together and was very surprised I did not pass Practice Management. After the practice management fail I spent the week mainly reviewing Architect's Handbook of Professional Practice (chapters 9 & 10) and contracts. I was advised to take the two exams pretty much back to back because there is so much overlap and I'm still glad I did, so just in my opinion, you could probably move it up before November. Focus on project manager roles/responsibilities, risk, quality management, and delivery types!
Good Luck!
