Does anyone have suggestions about sources for better understanding the symbols, flow, etc. for the Critical Path Method? I failed the first PjM attempt and will try again in two weeks. Trying to bone up on the issues I know stumped me. Thanks.

Youtube has some great videos in understanding critical path method, have you also tried the the NCARB video for Project Management, they definitely have a practice problem on it.
