Has anyone here passed the PPD exam? I took it the first last year (2023) just to see what it was like, and I failed, but not miserably. This time it was really bad. I am a bit lost on where to go next. I feel like I studied in English and the test was written in a foreign language.
Hi @jhabib9834! Welcome to the ARE Community! We are happy to have you here.
I’m sorry to hear that your PPD attempts did not go as planned. When I took the ARE in 2022, I also did not pass PPD and it was a difficult obstacle to overcome. I understand your frustration, but know that you are not alone!
Your NCARB Score Report can be used as a tool to formulate a strategized study plan moving forward. I would love to meet with you to review your score report(s) and help you establish a game plan for your PPD retake. Feel free to reach out to me at kiaragalicinao@blackspectacles.com if you are interested!.
Keep your head up and continue to persevere as you’ve been doing. You got this!
