this exam is a nice and a fun one, very broad, though. while i miserably failed the first two times, once I read the reference books cover to cover, i was able to finally pass. good video, good advice!
It’s awesome to see you refer to it as nice and fun even though you failed twice. That’s exactly the perspective you should have! I hope others read your comment and take a similar mindset approach. So much comes down to mindset with these exams!
Awesome video like always ! I’m at that point that you mention in the video Half way-trough. I would love to hear a more about your strategy on where to start when you have all of this resources. Kind of like plan !!! Thank you for everything
Congratulations on being halfway through! That’s a huge milestone. If you have the resources I’d say start running through it each section by section. This is why I like the ARE Review Manual (ballast) because it gives a much more in-depth look at each section over what’s covered in the Handbook. Take notes. Then start taking some practice exams. Any questions you get wrong dive deeper into those subjects using all the various materials. That’s my recommendation on where to start and how to start laying it out. Hope that helps! I’m happy to put together a quick video discussing this as well, let me know if this would be helpful for you.
Bryn, is it far to say, studying All 3 ppd, pdd, & pa is practical as a strategy to pass ALL '3'? Similarly as pcm, pjm, ce are geared toward professional practice.
Hey Kevin, thanks for watching I’m glad it was helpful! You’re a fellow Californian, I love lake arrowhead! When you get through the AREs I have some resources on the CSE too so you’ll have to come back. Here is a link to the Resource Chart: www.byoungdesign.com/product-page/are-5-0-resource-guide
I just passed the CE and now I'm heading to the PA exam. Thank you for your tips, Young, they are very helpful. I'll watch it again for sure. How long did you study for this PA test?
Woohoo!!! Congrats Scarlat!!! How are you celebrating?? PA is a really broad exam and now you’re starting to get into the technical exams. I’d study for a good 6-8 weeks. Depends on your schedule and availability, but that should give you the amount of time to really go into all the different areas, while still providing breaks so you don’t burn out.
@BYoungDesign thanks!! Normally I celebrate by going out for dinner at a nice restaurant with my husband, and I also buy myself some clothes. Normally, my coworkers come together and let me choose whatever sweet I want, they bake them and I share them with the office when I receive the official NCARBA result. Thank you for the tip, I'll consider this 6-8 week range to study for this test, especially when English is not my first language, and I didn't graduate from college in the US. I'm already feeling burned out for sure. I'll grant me some time to rest more this time.
Hey Shuo, after my first fail it took me a while to get motivated to start studying again. This was something I struggled with and I wish I had the tools to help me stay more consistent. Once I finally was motivated to study again I spent about 6 weeks preparing. Now I have a program that shows you exactly what to study and when for each exam. Its possible to prepare for each exam in just 6 weeks. You’ll also learn the tools needed to stay consistent and motivated. You can check it out here: dci.byoungdesign.com/USP
