As I go through the Construction & Evaluation (CE) practice exams and quizzes, I’ve noticed that many technical questions seem to come from content typically covered in PA, PPD, and PDD. However, my main focus right now is to complete my last professional practice exam.
Could you please provide a **list of essential Technical Black Spectacles videos? Ideally, these would include the key structural concepts and other technical areas we need to understand—just enough to be prepared for the CE exam without going too deep into other divisions.
This is a great question and one we receive frequently! I responded to another member about this here:
While we don’t have a specific list of PA, PPD, and PDD videos that are relevant to CE, I would encourage you to explore select ones that you find most relevant in relation to your knowledge/experience. For example, videos under Objective 3.2: Determine Structural Systems in PPD would be worth reviewing if you are looking for key structural concepts. Using the practice exam questions as a guide is also helpful to seeing what types of topics are asked from a technical perspective.
You are on the right track - understanding that you don’t need to go too deep into the details of the technical topics, but having the base knowledge will be beneficial for CE.
