Know what the reference does, and what you bring.

Some topics are printed in a reference but need deeper interpretation; other prerequisite knowledge may not be fully taught there. These refreshers teach understanding and application. We have not classified an individual topic as a verified reference omission.

PE programs connect the learning to their permitted handbook and specified standards. ARE programs focus on interpreting supplied resources. PMP focuses on applying principles in a closed-book examination. A program's reference rules do not transfer automatically to another exam.
