Recommended procedure:
Start with Kaplan study guides - that's the basic foundation for reading, identifying what you know and where you need to seek out supplemental information.
Move on to the Kaplan test bank questions (calculations and short answer) after you have some reading under your belt. Get used to working toward understanding a concept well enough to decipher a question delivered in NCARB-speak.
Archiflash flash cards are a faithful source of good info ~ easy to keep the information fresh in your mind when you only have a few minutes, here and there to spare.
David Kent Ballast's study guides are a good supplement to the Kaplan material. If you can read Ballast and read Kaplan and you accept that both resources are talking about the same subject matter, then you are in the game.
Seek out whatever source you need to in order to be satisfied that you have a working understanding of a particular concept, etc.
Architectural Graphic Standards, the time-honored Google search, any Frank Ching construction illustrated book all help after you have exhausted the Kaplan, Archiflash & Ballast materials.
