There’s a lot of bad information out there about how to study for the architect exam. Most of it is costing people time, money, and years of their career. Get-rich-quick promises from exam prep companies, outdated advice from bosses who took a completely different test 30 years ago, and a profession that has always marginalized the amount of work it actually takes to get licensed.
I put together a free 30-minute video presentation that covers what actually works.
This isn’t theory.
It’s based on over 10 years of coaching thousands of ARE candidates through the ARE Boot Camp, where I spend 10 to 15 hours every week on live calls talking to people about how they are studying for the ARE.
This is different from our usual Architect Exam Podcast episodes.
It’s a video presentation with slides, which is why it’s something you watch rather than just listen to.
What This Beginner Focused Presentation Covers:
In about 30 minutes, I walk through the architect exam prep strategies that I’ve seen work over and over again with real candidates. Here’s a preview of what you’ll learn:
- Why getting your architecture license is the most important project of your entire career
- How the six ARE exams break into two phases: the pro practice exams and the technical exams, and why exam order matters more than most people realize
- Why NCARB’s published objectives are the only study roadmap you need
- How to actually use textbooks, and why video courses alone aren’t enough
- What realistic expectations look like for study hours and timeline
- The mindset shift that separates people who finish from people who quit
I’m not going to sugarcoat it.
Studying for the ARE is a serious commitment. But when you know how to approach it the right way, the process becomes a lot more manageable and a lot more rewarding.
