What’s it like to take the Architectural Registration Exam? Is it difficult to schedule?
What is the testing site like? Are the people helpful? What’s it like to take all sections
of the exam on the computer? What kinds of study materials are available for each
section of the exam? Attend this introductory class to receive answers to these
questions and any others you may have about taking the ARE. This class is led by
three architects who have recently sat for and passed the exam.
Vicky Boddie, AIA, Erin McKiel, AIA and Meg Parsons, AIA, will facilitate this
