Hi everyone, this is my first post

I am prepared for the Construction & Evaluation exam and had some concerns.

I've read the contract docs, ballast, birghtwood, and I'm about to starting reading the CSI project resource manual.

So far, from the material I've read, they tend to focus more on the theory but I always get caught off guard when calculations & other numeric questions are involved whenever I take a mock exam.

Did you struggle with this as well? What other materials should I use?

Thank you.

  Agustin, I found Ben Norkin's Hyperfine the most useful resource for practicing actual calculations. He gives real world examples that actually teach, rather than help you memorize. Especially when it comes to the numbers.

  What I tend to do is follow the concepts into practical questions. For example, Ballast divides the material into chapters, and after reading a chapter I do some of the practice questions just to reinforce my knowledge and see what concepts I didn't get, so that I can go back to reread.

  I also use Architect Exam Prep, which tends to have examples of numerical questions.
