Architect Registration Examination 4.0 (ARE 4.0)

[chillywilly]

Well, it is here, the new ARE 4.0 'At the Test Center Near You!'

For those who has passed at least one division out of nine in ARE 3.1 prior to July 1st 2008, you have 1 year to complete the rest of left overs.

For those who is starting new will dip into ARE 4.0. The newer and better version of the ARE. (At least that is what NCARB said).
Lets see, it is now 7 divisions instead of 9. NCARB did not reduce the contents. Instead, they have combined and remix the content. So, the exam criteria still remain the same as the previous test. I guess it is a way NCARB called 'ease into the situation'.

For those who is about to experience the the new exam please share some of your laugh and pain.

As I always said 'Passing the architectural exam in U.S. is easy, dealing with people is the real test!'

I am going to let the NCARB do the rest of the explanation;
please use the linke blow:

By the way, here is another link the NCARB provides. It is a Passing Rate by School list: (I smell blood in there..haha)

這裡有人在準備ARE考試嗎?

請問: 準備ARE有無網站可購買類似ARE考題的題庫? (之前準備LEED有類似的網站, 幫助很大)

謝謝!
