Why Our ARE Prep Approach Actually Delivers Results
We don’t just offer test prep for the Programming & Analysis exam—we teach you exactly what NCARB wants you to learn. Unlike competitors with strategies that have nothing to do with exam objectives, Young Architect Academy focuses directly on NCARB’s PA exam objectives.
Our philosophy is simple: If you’re not studying NCARB’s objectives, you’re not studying for the Architect exam. We reverse-engineer the study process by analyzing NCARB’s objectives, then build our materials to address those specific points.
This focused approach transforms studying into an opportunity to master site evaluation, project programming, and systematic analysis that transfers directly to your day-to-day work—no gimmicks, no “shortcuts”, just honest preparation aligned with what NCARB expects you to know.
