Thanks for the response. Follow up question: What platform of community are you referring to? Is it an ā€œindependent groupā€ that meets on regular basis to study/check-in? Can you please explain further?

Patrick, did you just say in the webinar that there are 16 versions of each exam? I just failed CE and I thought I would be re-taking the same exam, but that was incorrect? Thank you!

Hey Sara! On your retake there will be some variation of the exam (that way you wonā€™t receive the same exact questions as you did on your previous attempt). Let me know if you have any questions, thanks!

Hey Rowaida, no worries at all! A recording of the live Q&A session will be emailed to you and posted in this community soon so you can rewatch it whenever youā€™d like!

Hi Patrick, I thought I have signed up for PJM 30 day study challenge but received the study schedule for PCM. How can I switch to PJM challenge? Thanks for your help!

Hi Patrick

Thank you for today presentation it was really motivated.

Just quick comment and question

  1. I have not received the 30 days Study Plan
  2. Is there any resource or check list showing all items that overlapping between divisions? E.g B101 can be find on PCM, PJM, and CE etc.

Hey ardalvarado! I just sent you an email with your study guide, that is in your inbox now. And below are some recommended resources to help you figure out what overlaps in each division:

  • ARE 5.0 Guidelines (https://www.ncarb.org/sites/default/files/ARE-5-Guidelines.pdf) Reference Guide pages 115-117 indicates which references overlap with divisions.

  • Page 118 lists the building codes/standards and indicates that are relevant to PA, PPD, and PDD.

  • Page 119 lists the relevant AIA contract docs and indicates that they primarily apply to PcM, PjM, and CE.
