I'm trying to decide which to start with.  Predesign or CDS?  I've taken all three graphics sections already.

I concur.  This is the order I've taken them so far, and it seems to have served me well.  PD is Saturday for me!!  I'm cramming this week.

cd and then pd... mm is in a totally different realm... pd has a lot of cd questions in it-- i found this out the hard way by not passing it the first time... after i took cd and got my pass notice, i immediately took the pd again and passed it... memorize those aia contracts and documents!

cd i studied aia docs (highlighted them and made outlines of them), flashcards, and kaplan books but found the aia docs and flashcards most useful

pd i studied the flashcards and books but have always felt a lot of the questions were cd related

mm i took so long ago i can't even remember what i studied... usual stuff, i suspect, such as flashcards and books
