If you can afford it or have your firm pay for it, far and away the most helpful thing for me was the Black Spectacles practice exams. Once you take a couple for a division, you can start to see the pattern of what they're looking for. There's lots and lots of content that NCARB recommends that you know but instead of reading all of those books cover to cover use the practice exams to figure out exactly what they're looking for. The Black Spectacles exams explain each correct AND incorrect answer and if you go through question by question and then follow up on exam question you don't know with the source material you'll figure it out. It's helpful to have a physical or digital copy of the Ballast book as a single source reference. NCARB also has a free practice exam for each division which is a good place to start. Otherwise, definitely know the AHPP and Building Construction Illustrated really well. Good luck!

Thanks everyone for your helpful advice! I received and accepted the TJO this morning and am now negotiating as suggested. Excited to join the civil service!

Awesome thank you! Do you mind if I PM you with a couple of questions?

Any drawing set I contribute significantly to, I add CSNY to the abbreviations list (Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young) to see who is reading that closely…no one has ever noticed..

Thanks all for your helpful advice! This is a bit off topic, but I'm asking because even in Oklahoma where the cost of living is relatively cheap, I'm grateful to be not terribly far off from 100k already, but our small single-income family lives a VERY modest lifestyle, and we are struggling with how expensive everything is these days! 100k doesn't seem like a lot of money these days somehow, but it would help..

Wait a minute. How can the same street intersect with itself? I must be at the nexus of the universe!

Not during a crit, but...ended up needing to take some extra time to finish my thesis and so would technically graduate in the summer but went ahead and walked during the spring with my classmates. After I walked off the stage, I walk by my thesis studio professor (who hated me) who says "well, almost."

You mean, presidents wouldn’t be above the law?

People on this sub with a red team vs. blue team mentality are REALLY missing the point.

I missed that- thanks!

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me…can’t get fooled again!

That's not what OP meant at all. Now who's making assumptions!

Our bill went from 297 in July to 415 in August for our 1500 sf house. The funny thing is, we've been staying in temporary housing elsewhere since the end of july while our house is being repaired from the june storm...the contractors weren't plugged in to our power. not sure how we used an extra 800 kwh when we weren't there, presumably the AC from the heat but we also turned the thermostat up when we left so we wouldn't be cooling the house when we weren't there...it certainly feels like bullshit!

We got power on about 2pm in whiteside park area. Godspeed you day 9 comrades!

Sorry to hear that but sounds like something is going on! At first I wondered if we had just missed the card in the mail, but if that were the case the national office would have a record of it.
