Exam Prep for PDE4 & PDE5

10 Tips on Writing Your PDE

These tips only apply to the PDE – Professional Designated Exam – Level 4 and 5 regulated by the PPRA.

Don’t study using everyone’s handed-down crash course material; this will have you spinning with unanswered questions and outdated material.

The PDE exams are held online and at a venue, depending on the PPRA’s requirements.  Here are some instructions for both:

At a Venue:

1. Take your ID, FFC and proof of exam registration with you.
2. When the PPRA refer to a “seat number”, please ignore this.
3. You are not allowed any electronic devices in the exam room, including a cell phone.
4. It is an open-book exam so please take your PropAcademy course material into the exam and know where to find your answers; that is key! Index your files (soft or hard copy) and be very familiar with where everything is.
5. Make sure that you have a backup pen.
6. Don’t talk to others during your exam.
7. Ensure you don’t just get up and leave the room; you must ask for permission.

3. Don’t talk to others during your exam; you must be alone in a quiet room.
4. When you book your exam, you may see you need to choose an area to write. Please click on the area to complete your booking but note. You can do this exam from anywhere quiet as long as you are online. The area is just there until the PPRA remove it.
5. Ensure you don’t just get up and leave the room; you must ask for permission.
6. Your internet connection must be bulletproof; you cannot afford to be disconnected.
7. You should receive a practice test just before your exam; please do this; it will also show you how to draw a graph and a few other tricks for the day.
8. Don’t bounce around from question to question; sometimes, you can’t return. Instead, answer the question as you read it.
9. Know where to find your answers; that is key! Index your files (soft or hard copy) and be very familiar with where everything is.
