If you’re in the NYC metropolitan area and you intend to take the architect registration exam, then I highly recommend you attend tonight’s AIANY free event Demystifying the ARE 4.0.

Successful recent takers of the Architectural Registration Exam (the A.R.E.) describe their experiences through the process, sharing many useful suggestions and specific tips they used to navigating the complex waterways to licensure. We also invite members of NCARB who have been involved in the planning of the exam discuss what goes into create the questions and what are the best ways to prepare.

We anticipate you will find this informal professional exchange valuable. We’ve also encouraged attendees to make contact with a study-partner for one or more of the divisions of the ARE, during this event!

Find out more about it on the AIANY calendar and be sure to RSVP at the bottom. If you don’t RSVP, don’t let that stop you from going. You can find out some interesting information. Here are my notes from last year. I’m not sure if I will attend this year. Sorry I didn’t post this sooner.

First of all, could there be such a thing?

The ARE Forum is up again. But a lot of you were scrambling for an alternative when ARE Forum was down. Hopefully this horrible online event helped some better communicate in their office. Maybe it helped build more tolerance for one another in our common struggle to pass the architect registration exam. Shoot, maybe a few of you formed a freaking study group already!

Still most are less interested in why the ARE Forum went down and more interested in it being up. I had no idea when the forum would return. So instead I did a common Google search, and came across some alternatives. They may not have the critical mass of participants the ARE Forum has and technically the posting method may be different. But with enough participation and adjustment you may find some ARE assistance using these ARE Forum alternatives.
