i have the ballast blue book 5.0 and the practice problems and the practice exam. honestly all were just about useless for PDD for reasons. i currently have the practice problems and the practice exam printed out here and “ready to go” as copies which i COULD review just to see if i can pick out some nuggets that may be applicable to PDD. alternatively i guess i can sign up for PPi to pass or PPi learning hub or something? are these two the same? are they basically the NEW VERSION of ballast (sigh)? also, can i print out the material for this and sit at my kitchen table and review it or do i have to chain my face in front of a screen to review this material? THANK YOU for any comments specific to this question.

  Ppi2pass & Learning hub are the same. I bought a 3 mo. Subscription and unfortunately its all digital, you cant take snapshots or any prints. But you can have it available on any device with your log in. I have heard mixed reviews about PPI (new version of ballast) but I too find its just okay in terms of book material and practice questions !

  hi roma,
  thanks for the help. so you has it for 3 months?
  can i ask if you used it for PDD? have you tested in PDD? did you find it helpful?
  was it a series of questions? how many? a series of work sets or problem sets? how many?
  hand you tested in PDD?
  just trying to figure out the utility of signing up against doing the “old” content from ballast i have here.

  I tested for PDD Last week of Aug, going in again on Dec 9. I had only 1 weak area Building Systems on my fail. I did not find 5.0 review manual very interesting, I am going with 4.0 material, almost same. The flash cards are not that great, interface is terrible. The only thing I did from there was practice quizzes that you can take as per content areas. I did not like their two practice tests either...

  hi roma. thanks a lot. just do i am sure i understand. the online subscription from ballast is going to be the same content as the revised book and some exams and some problem sets with descriptions? and i guess some flash cards?
  but after having taken pdd you felt this material is not helpful for testing in pdd?
