Hello all,
i am offering a Seminar Series #1 and a Mock Panel #1 for the California Supplemental Exam taking place in January 2009 in Southern California. The seminar will take place in December in Santa Monica. This will allow you 3 + solid weeks of practice after the seminar series ends to fine tune everything before the exam. Here are the details;
you will receive a 162 page study manual that I prepared based upon the CAB 2009 test plan. this will be our guide as we move through the process.
we will focus on two major strategies in preparing for the exam;
strategy #1 - we will discuss the complete CAB test plan in detail and cover ALL of the topics contained within the plan. the CAB test plan will serve as our guide as we move through the process. this will be the foundation for strategy #2, the mock panels. students are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the CAB test plan as much as possible before the first class. NOTE: students will be sent the study manual I developed (based on the CAB test plan) once I receive the registration fee. This will allow you time to review and study the information before the first class.
strategy #2 - mock panels (within the Seminar #1), we will do lots of these. each student will have plenty of time in the "hot seat" to help them prepare for the real conditions of the exam. hearing the question and learning how to respond will be the main focus of the mock panels.
The Seminar Series #1 will take place on Saturday, December 6 & December 13 in Santa Monica from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.
The Mock Panel #1 (separate from the Seminar Series #1) will be scheduled Saturday, January 10, 2009 in Santa Monica from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm.
Location;
reside architecture, inc.
3050 airport avenue, suite B
santa monica, ca 90405
Cost;
$350 for Seminar Series #1. Once registration fee is received, i will mail out my study manual which will allow you sufficient time to study before the seminar begins.
$150 for Mock Panel #1 or $100 if you sign up at the time of registering for the Seminar Series #1. NOTE: Students are highly encouraged to sign up for the mock panel #1 as it's a great opportunity to buzz through questions and put the finishing touches on your strategies 1 week before the actual exam.
Please contact me via email for the registration form;

I had a private session over the phone with David and I can tell you that he's right on target.
If any of you are considering a seminar give him serious consideration.
I attended "Funk & Wagnall's", an AIA seminar and have Woo's handout and I can say without hesitation that David is more accurate, focused, relevant and effective... not to mention being cheaper than Funk, DLR & Boardway.
If I get good news next month it's in large part due to his help. If I don't, it's because I screwed up.
