Any tips on what to expect in the pdd exam? Is it true there are mostly calculations on this exam? The ARE handbook shows that there will be a lot on construction documents, details, and integration but I heard it’s mostly calculations.

Hello @sergioclaure93 -

The best thing to do is follow what the ARE handbook states in terms of content. Make sure to review all the information that they reccomend, not just the calculations.

Let me know if I can clarify anything else for you.

Best Regards, Coach Elise
