Hi @carolinron,

Thanks for writing in! That’s a totally valid concern, and it can definitely feel like shorter videos might mean less coverage. However, this is not the case. We’ve intentionally streamlined the material to focus on the key concepts that are directly tied to NCARB objectives, so nothing essential has been removed.

The revamped videos are more focused and engaging, which helps you prioritize and retain the most important information you need to pass the ARE, without spending extra time on content that’s less likely to impact your exam performance.

While I can’t speak firsthand about using the new content myself in preparation for the exam, we have had several members write in to let us know how much they enjoy the revamped course. Here is one example:

> [@Thank you for the new PPD study videos!](https://community.blackspectacles.com/t/thank-you-for-the-new-ppd-study-videos/7685):
>
> After using the old videos and study content for the PPD exam, the new videos, study guide and format has made studying for this exam so much better. It seems to cover more content of what’s on the exam. Thank you for putting out the new content!

Don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you feel like something is missing or you have any further questions. We are happy to support you during this journey!

Best,

Kiara Galicinao, AIA, NCARB
