Passed

I'd try SPD next - lots of carryover from the stuff you've already delved into, and the vignettes are really easy if you practice with the alternates found on this website.

Then, I'd do Schematic Design after - no multiple choice, only vignettes. But, the one vignette where one has to lay out an office, placing all the furniture, ADA clearances, etc. is very difficult. It's difficulty lies in that you only have 1-hour. That's barely enough time to do the task and you will be honkin' the whole time. This website has awesome strategy tips for this particular vignette. The other vignette is easy, for they give you waaaay too much time, and you can relax.

Sounds Gr8. I going to go that route. In general for furniture layouts, I tend to place all of the furnitue on the side of the drawing and start draging it into my designs. I've been designing for about 20 years and feel that gives me a sense of scale plus helps with ADA. But I will read through the Forum. Lots of helpful tips. Thanks

Thanks for the info and Jenni notes link. I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on Archiflash cards for this exam?
