I have colleagues that are interested in joining the challenge; however, they aren’t subscribed to Black Spectacles. What tier subscription is required if they want to participate?

Hey thanks for reaching out! They’ll need either a Pro or Expert membership since they will need to use the Guided Study Process throughout the challenge. Feel free to reach out with any questions, thanks!
Good Morning. I’ve signed up for this Challenge, but have a work conflict for today’s zoom meeting. Will there be a recording? I’m going to focusing on the PPD exam. Thank You!

Good Morning from Fort Myers - I am here for the 60-day challenge studying PA. Passed the PM, PCM and CE in that order. I narrowly failed PA and PDD, and did a little worse on PPD. It has been suggested that I just focus and get PA out of the way. Would those that have passed PA also suggest that?

Hello! My name is Daryl Gonzalez from New Jersey. I have been using black spectacles for the last year and have completed 5 out of the 6 exams. I am currently stuck on the PPD and as of yesterday have failed my 2nd PPD exam. I want to schedule the 3rd for early in April. I do not know where I am going wrong but I want to use this 60 day challenge to work towards passing the PPD on this 3rd try. Hopefully this can help me see where I am going wrong

Hey Virtual Workshops have actually been replaced by Real-World Practice, this is where you can get extra case study practice - you’ll be able to find Real-World Practice in your learning dashboard (here’s a quick breakdown of what’s included)

I would suggest that personally yes. Everyone is different but I found that worked for me. Getting the PA content gave me a good foundation for PPD and PDD. I am still trying to pass PPD myself now.

If I have done all the content in the new PPD course as well what other recourses would you recommend? I feel like I did good in the quizzes and practice exams. I just do not know where I am going wrong.
