ARE 5.0 Drills - PPD/PDD
Have you noticed that studying for PPD & PDD is more challenging than any other exam that you may have experienced?
The reason is the scope. PPD and PDD are both more like six exams disguised as one exam.

PPD and PDD Both Include:
- Structures Exam
- Building Systems Exam
- Codes Exam
- Materials, Methods, Assemblies and Detailing Exam
- Programming and Site Exam
- Professional Practice Exam
Have you wanted a resource to help guide your studying and pinpoint the areas where you may need additional help?
These interactive exercises will help you navigate through the often confusing NCARB PPD & PDD objectives with greater confidence and ease.
The Young Architect ARE Drills for PPD/PDD includes:
- 100+ practice exam questions focused around specific NCARB objectives for PPD/PDD.
- 50+ warmup questions to get you thinking about the bigger topics and concepts related to each question.
