Technical Key Black Spectacles Videos list for CE Prep

Hi @elie,

This is a great question and one we receive frequently! I responded to another member about this here:

One-third Technical content on CE

Running the NCARB Forum, I founded this point about CE: Seems to have an important part of Technical Content of evaluating construction site through plans, sections or details. I found no content of this in CE videos of BS neither the slides. Can someone advice on where to anticipate or look, at least a bird´s eye on this type of questions? [Capture]

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.

Hope this helps!
