Hi!
I’ve been using Black Spectacles for my past four exams and have passed all of them, so it’s been a great resource for me overall. However, I’m really struggling with the PPD and PDD video content. I’m finding the videos harder to follow compared to the earlier divisions.
I know PPD is expected to be updated before PDD, and I was wondering if there’s any timeline on when the updated PPD videos might be released. At this point, I’m having a difficult time getting through the current videos for these last two exams and wanted to see if anyone has insight or has felt the same way.
Thank you!

Welcome to the Black Spectacles Community @mariavirginia.portillo! We’re glad that you are here and happy to hear that our study materials have been helpful to you along your ARE journey. Congratulations on passing 4 exams - you are SO close to the finish line!!!
Our team is actively working on updated content for both PPD and PDD divisions, with PPD set to launch on January 19th! We understand that our members have been eager for this, so we are excited that the time is quickly approaching. Once our team launches PPD, full focus will be on getting PDD completed in the following months.
While I understand that the older video content may not be as easy to follow as our newer content, rest assured that they still align with NCARB’s learning objectives and are up-to-date with the current ARE standards.
Best of luck on your studying!
