How to approach exam questions?

I recently took PPD for the second time and failed. I thought I was doing well, but my score said otherwise. I am right on the border of getting level 2's and level 3's for my "fail" scores. Does anyone know of a tutor, or videos of how to approach each question and figure out what exactly they are looking for as the answer? Because it seems like each exam question is 50% relevant information and 50% non-relevant information.

I have been using Amber Book, which is one of the most resourceful study tools in my opinion. I also have done the Young Architect Bootcamp, and have been using the referenced textbooks in the handbook. I don't know what else to do.

I have been having a difficult time with these exams, and I am not sure what I am doing wrong because the feedback for these test is extremely vague.

I currently have 3 exams done, but PPD, PDD, and CE have been giving me trouble.

If you have any tips or tricks, it would be much appreciated so I can get these exams done and get my life back!

Brad,

I did not use Young Architect Bootcamp but Amber Book was definitely very helpful. In my case, I used Amber Book and Black Spectacles to pass all the tests. I failed 5 tests only using Amber Book at first. But realized that practice tests are as important as knowing the material. Remember, during these exams, recalling the information is more important than knowing it. So invest in some practice tests. Black Spectacles worked for me because it looked and felt exactly like the real test. But it can be any other practice test in my opinion.

All the best. perseverantia vincit!
