PDD Pass and Finally Done with the AREs!!!
Hi everyone!
I finally passed PDD on my third try and like others who have posted on the Community wanted to share the most helpful resource I found while studying! Elif's Questions located here: https://arequestions.com/
I can honestly say I don't know if I could have passed without these. She provides 12 quizzes with 20 questions each. I will say I did spend an excessive amount of time on her quizzes but all the time spent was well worth it. My approach included taking each quiz and on each question I would take notes based on her feedback provided. After I would take a new quiz, I would go back and take all of the ones I took prior so I would retain the information. I ended up with about 72 pages of notes when it was all said and done, but I was able to look over my notes prior to the exam to refresh. I also took her two timed practice quizzes in the few days prior to the exam. Taking these really boosted my confidence and helped me go over all of the material again. Best money I've spent on study material hands down!
In addition to Elif's Questions, I heavily relied on Ballast, AGS, ASC, and Ching's BConI and BCodeI. It's been a very long, painful road but I'm finally finished!!! Just stay the course and don't give up and I promise you too will finish! Good luck out there everyone!!!

Hi Rebecca, CONGRATS and thanks so much for sharing your experience. I'm also about to take PDD for the third time and I'm curious to know: what was your strategy during the test? Meaning, within the 4:15 duration, did you do all the multiple choice first, take a break and then spend x-number of hours on the case studies, for example?

Thanks so much Joseph!
Thank you as well Whitney! My strategy for all exams was typically the same. I go through all the multiple choice and then take my break before diving into the case studies. I almost always had enough time to go back and answer most if not all of my flagged multiple choice questions. I hope this helps! You're going to do great, third time is a charm!!!

Congratulations on the pass Rebecca! Do you remember the particular sections of the AGS, ASC, and Ching's BConI and BCodeI you studied for the PDD? I am going to be taking the PDD in February after failing the PPD in the fall. Did you just restudy the areas that many have studied for the PPD? Thanks!
