How the ARE Bootcamp Sets You Up for Success
Think of ARE Bootcamp like an architecture school design studio—but instead of designing buildings, everyone is studying for the ARE. You’re surrounded by people working toward the same goal with structure, mentorship, accountability, and community. It’s not just about studying alone—it’s about studying smarter, together.
Unlike other ARE prep resources that simply provide study materials and leave you to figure out how to use them, ARE Bootcamp is a comprehensive program designed with a clear roadmap. The curriculum takes the guesswork out of studying, breaking it into manageable steps that build on each other. This structure is what makes Bootcamp different from everything else available to ARE candidates.
Key Strategies to Unlock ARE Bootcamp Power
Learn to Advocate for Yourself
One of the biggest lessons from Bootcamp is that passing the ARE is entirely in your hands. Instead of waiting for someone to spoon-feed information, you need to actively take charge of your learning.
The program helps you get clear about NCARB’s objectives for each test and understand how they think about the material. This active approach may seem harder initially, but it makes the process easier in the long run—and makes you a better architect as a result.
Follow the Proven Program
Most ARE candidates waste precious time trying to figure out what to study—comparing materials, jumping between resources, and second-guessing themselves.
While NCARB provides the exam framework, Bootcamp removes this analysis paralysis by providing a system refined since 2015, shaped by thousands of successful candidates.
The key is simple: just follow the program. Trust the process. The curriculum gives you exactly what you need when you need it, breaking studying into manageable steps so it never feels overwhelming.
Use the Support System
There’s no reason to stay stuck when you’re part of Bootcamp. Unlike studying alone, where roadblocks can halt progress for days, Bootcamp provides multiple ways to get answers quickly:
- Daily meetups where you can ask questions in real time
- Direct access to coaches and peers who are following the same program
- The opportunity to teach others, which reinforces your own understanding
One hour in a Bootcamp meetup is often more effective than spending two or three hours studying alone, making the entire process more efficient.
Set Realistic Expectations
Understanding what you’re signing up for is crucial. The ARE journey typically takes between 800 to 1,400 hours of study time to complete all six exams—even with a structured plan and efficient studying.
Bootcamp helps you set realistic expectations, stay consistent through setbacks, and commit to the long game. The program provides support until you cross the finish line with your license in hand.
