Switching Order from BCDS to CDS

     After reading online how BDCS covers topics from multiple exams I have decided to take that later on. For now I have started to prepare myself  for CDS.

     I've been trying to start studying for CDS, however; it's seems like so much information. I get lost and don' even know where to begin. I start reading the AIA documents but that just gets repetitive. I then jump to the Ballast book but that seems like so much information I don't even know what to highlight. I then go to the NCARB intro and that just scares the living crap out of me.

     In an effort to calm my confusion I have just purchased the Kaplan CDS study package for $220 shipped.  Hopefully that will give me a better understanding on how I should be studying and get my feet running. Until that comes I guess I will continue to use the Ballast flash cards and the Kaplan flash card on my Android phone.
