Just Passed PDD, Now Time To Retake PPD - Advice??
Hi All,
I just passed PDD a few days ago after a PPD fail in late December. My PPD score was 505 so I'm not horribly far off. How doable is 16 days of cramming to pass PPD? I am so nervous about my retake this is my last exam and I will finally be free of the AREs!! My wedding is soon and I am trying to wrap up before then. The sections I struggled with the most were Environmental & Context (still shocked by this it was my best section on PA and on all my practice tests) and Integration. Any advice or opinions welcome!

How long ago did you study PA? If it’s still fresh in your mind and you passed PDD it sounds like you should be focusing on practice questions and understanding your weaknesses. See the discussion post “best practice tests?”. I’d suggest making a plan in excel for what you think you need/want to get done so you’re confident walking in on exam day. This is your last one so you have the test taking skills already. Always always answer the question directly with the specifics given. Do not make up scenarios in your head. Don’t let a hard bank of questions kill your confidence. Manage your time, don’t obsess over any one question and it’ll be easier to give your best guest on all 100 questions. My last cutscore was 489. You got this.

Focus on active recall learning. Since you don't have much time, focus on practice exams. I have documented the most effective way to prepare for AREs in my Arniko Academy Blog. DM me at rajan@arniko.academy if you have any specific question. All the best!
