Anybody on here familiar with these? Recently graduated architecture major and I'm getting ready to start prepping for exams. I've had a few friends already pass and fail a few different ones. Any advice on what to use to study or a particular order to take them in? Thanks.

SO is a landscape architect. She had to look at a bunch of plants. That's all I got.

Yes... but I'm pretty sure they are different from when I was licensed.

There used to be practice vignettes online, if you still have to do those. They were very useful... and there was a service where you could submit your samples to be scored and reviewed.

Whichever one you think will be hardest, take that one first. I started with Construction Docs & Services. Again, I think they have changed them up since then though.

Unless you have passed your exams, you are not an architect.

You're professors can't help you with this? I am an LA and the professors started prepping us for the exam from year 3 on. And I could email them for study material, etc after I graduated.

Has IDP/NCARB changed the rules? When I graduated you had to complete IDP before you were eligible to take the ARE.

With that said, I used the flash cards and online vignettes. Working in an office with “real world” practice was what really prepared me....except Structures. I kept my notes from Dr. Shih’s classes and studies them again. No problems passing that section. Thanks, Dr. Shih.

If you are a member of American Institute of Architects you can reach out to your local chapter (AIANOLA or AIABR) and see if they have study material you can check out. I know our chapter has a group called ARE Marathoners who are working to help each other study.

Skip the IDP and licensing. Get a Masters in civil engineering. You may hate hearing that now, but 20 years from now will be thanking me.
