I am practicing the Site Design vignette on the NCARB software, while I wait for my results.
I found my Spiro Kostoff history book, A History of Architecture Settings and Rituals. That means I have another book that applies to Programming, Planning and Practice and Site Planning and Design (SPD). I’ve got 2 months to the exam and doubt I’ll crack it open. I barely read it during school. I’ll try though.
I took two hours over the weekend to review the grading and site design vignettes. I also took a look at the schematic design and interior design vignettes. I keep feeling I should be studying for more than one exam.
I reviewed my testing strategy. I should take SPD sooner than it is scheduled. I will hold back though, because I want to know my results. They should give me a clue my studying is working.
The longest I’ve heard of waiting for results is 3 months. After such a wait, one person in my office reported a pass and someone on the forum reported a fail. Thus I figure a long wait does not necessarily mean a pass or fail. And the reasons for the waits, not disclosed by NCARB and the various parties (Prometric, state board…), are probably different, too.
