OMG!!! You just lit a fire under my A**!! I just failed PPD and I rescheduled it and PDD because I planned to take it next. They are right behind each other and I was doubting my decision, so I turned to YouTube for directions...lol (I actually called a few people too) But you just gave me the motivation I needed. Now if I don't get a win out at least one of these exams, I’m bypassing complaining to NCARB and Coming for you!! lol but all jokes aside this video was great.

TALK THAT ISH BROTHER!!! THANKS FOR THIS. THIS EXAM WILL BE MY BIATCH! #RESPECTFULLY

Howdy Drew! I was in college for Architectural Engineering, my second major choice. I was not excepted into my school’s Architecture program. After two semesters I was ‘weeded out’ and changed my major to something else. I didn’t want to be an Engineer who focuses on the physics and math behind a design and I didn’t like that college was a system that constructs employees. I wanted to be a straight up architect, but my bad high school habits prohibited that. So now I am a dropout and entrepreneur, and I stared a design services company. As time went on I received a good amount of clients in need of floor plans. Now I’m working on a floor plan for a 2 million dollar house and this gets me thinking. I’ve been studying architecture ever since drafting 1-4 in high school and I’d consider myself as a cad wiz. For fun I will design architecture on Revit, AutoCAD architecture, and even in Minecraft. So I am no stranger to architectural design. I also watch a plethora of architecture videos on YouTube. My question to you is. . . As a self taught individual who knows how to learn, do you think it’s possible for a person without a degree in architecture to study hard, pass the ARE exam, continue my real world work and have a successful career as a professional Architect and possible founder of an architecture firm? Also what 5.0 division should I consider if I want to start a design firm?

Hey Drew! Awesome video. I know you haven’t posted in awhile, but since this is the first video you’ve made since I started watching your channel, I just have a few words. I started watching your channel in the fall of my high school senior year as I was trying to figure out if I wanted to do Architecture or Civil Engineering. I ended up choosing architecture and have watched the helpful videos that you have created since you started 6 years ago. I just wanted to say thank you. These videos have helped me see what it is like in Architecture school, the insides and out, and how to survive. I just started my first year of architecture school and I’m looking forward to you making new content for the months to come! You’re one of my biggest inspirations at the moment and it drives me to work harder and put in more grind time for studio. Keep it up man!!

Thank you so much for sharing. I really appreciate your predator approach to the exam. I just found out your channel yesterday, and watched some, really good.

Just failed PPD today and taking PDD next week. Totally agree with taking the exam sooner rather than later so you know how to adapt for the next round 🥊 Hope you're doing well buddy!
