Hi we will add you to the group. Are you doing the 30 day study challenge ?

Do we have PcM group study meeting today? I asked the BS Support, AI tells me we do not have the meeting today… but I remember we should have an online meeting every Monday?

Hi! Yes, we do have a meeting every Monday! I see your name is on the calendar invitation.

To recap what you missed: we reviewed key takeaways from the BKS content. Before our next study group, please complete through Day 17 of your guided study plan and take at least one practice exam.

Be sure to come prepared with any questions on topics you found challenging during your practice exam so we can discuss them with the PCM group.

If you have any questions in the meantime, feel free to ask here in the chat :slightly_smiling_face:

See you next week!

That’s great @nymamerica - thanks for your interest! This thread is actually related to last year’s study challenge, so I’ll link the current thread here for your reference. I’ll also include you in the email thread with other PcM/PjM/CE studiers so that you can get connected with them :slight_smile:

Happy studying!

Hi Patrick, are there any study groups going on for PCM in March of 2026? The study groups appear to be from early last year.

Welcome to the Black Spectacles Community @Palo.brea! We are in the final weeks of our current 60-Day Study Challenge and study groups, but keep an eye out on your email and dashboard for when we announce our next one. If you’d like to join then, you’ll have the opportunity to connect with other PcM studiers to form a study group.

In the meantime, feel free to create a post here on the community to get your study questions answered by licensed architects and share tips/advice with peers!

Best,

Hi, I’m just finding out about this, I will be taking the PcM exam on April 8th, but I would like to be included in any future emails, I will also schedule PjM for May, so any group studies would be helpful.

Thanks.

Anyone doing a PcM study group staying in April? I’d love to join!

Yes. We’re meeting every Monday. We study, present, and solve problems together.

Hello Anuru2. I was wondering the same thing. So far I am taking notes during the videos and pausing the video to jot down my notes. It is VERY time consuming, but I thought it might be more thorough than just using the Practice Management ARE 5.0 Workbook. I plan on using my notes to then come back to the Workbook. With work and life I am definitely finding it hard to keep the pace. Maybe Kiara G. or others from Black Spectacles/community can weigh in on suggestions.
