PA - Suggested Study
Hi all, I am planning my study for PA. I have passed PcM, PjM, and have my CE exam shortly(studying for a month each time and have passed on first attempt). I understand everyone approaches study/testing differently, but I wanted to cast this net out and see if I anyone had suggestions.
How much time do you suggest study for PA? Did you find that your study approach/time for PcM, PjM, CE could also be used on the other three, were they more intense? Any info is greatly appreciated!

The PA exam is very different from the other 3 you mentioned. You are going to ramp up studying for the last 3 exams as they are more intense. My PA course is 4 weeks plus exam practice at the end, so a total of 5-6 weeks. I think PPD and PDD will take 2 months of study each.
Site planning and design handbook, Problem Seeking, Sun, Wind & Light all are good resources, along with ADA and few other government websites.
You may want to weave in materials for 2 exams into 2-3 months of study, depending on what order you take the exams, because these exams overlap.
Hope this helps!
