Some Video Resources for Passing PPD

I've made a full video about passing the Project, Planning & Design, so I will summarize some o my experiences and share the video link below.

This exam was hard as expected. The resources I used were helpful, but I lacked foundation about systems, and material understanding, so I had to go beyond my initial resources.

Exam Attempt 1 Resources

1 ARE Facebook Group + Young Architect tips (occasional Black Spectacles) and NCARB guide

2 Archiprep (free month)

3 ARE Exam Prep

4 35% of the NCARB reading list ($$ business expenses worth $$$fails)

Exam Attempt 2 - Pass Resources

other 35% Recommended list ( main reference list)

5 Designer Hacks, PPD, PDD, and manufacturer data (especially fire construction) 6 The Amber Book

7 Archiprep 1 month Passing PDD

8 Pluralsight(50% worth it, free month agreement read very closely)

Essentially, I had to rethink and restudy the exam to pass this exam confidently. So check out my videos for video resources to add to your study collection.
