What others are saying about ARE Exam Guide series & ARE Mock Exam series…
“Great
study guide…”
“This was a great resource supplement to my other study
resources. I appreciated the mock exam questions the most, and the solutions
offer an explanation as to why the answer is correct. I will definitely check
out his other ARE exam resources!
UPDATE: Got
my PASS Letter!”
—Sean Primeaux
“Tried everything 4 times before reading this book
and PASSED!”
“I had failed this exam 4
times prior to getting this book…I had zero clue as to what I was doing wrong.
I read Ballast, Kaplan and random things on the forum but for the life of me
couldn't pin point where I was missing it until I read THIS BOOK! Gang did an
excellent job…I remember … reading Gang's book and saying Ohhhh like 4 or 5
times. I read his book several times until I became comfortable with the
information. I went in on test day and it was a breeze. I remember walking out
of there thinking I couldn't believe I struggled so much before. The tips in
here are priceless! I strongly recommend this book…”
—hendea1
“Add
this to your ARE study”
“This was a very helpful practice exam and discussion. I
really appreciated the step-by-step review of the author's approach... As I
studied it last before taking the test, Gang Chen's book probably made the
difference for me.”
—Dan Clowes (“XLine”)
“Good
supplemental mock exam”
“I found the mock exam to be very helpful, all of the
answers are explained thoroughly and really help you understand why it is
correct...Also the introduction and test taking tips are very helpful for new
candidates just starting the ARE process.”
—Bgrueb01
“Essential
Study Tool”
“I have read the book and found it to be a great study
guide for myself. Mr. Gang Chen does such a great job of helping you get into
the right frame of mind for the content of the exam. Mr. Chen breaks down the points on what should be studied and
how to improve your chances of a pass with his knowledge and tips for the exam.
I highly
recommend this book to anyone…it is an invaluable tool in the preparation for
the exam as Mr. Chen provides a vast amount of knowledge in a very clear,
concise, and logical matter.”
—Luke Giaccio
“Wish I had this book
earlier”
“...The questions are written like the NCARB questions, with various
types...check all that apply, fill in the blank, best answer, etc. The answer key
helpfully describes why the correct answer is correct, and why the incorrect
answers are not. Take it from my experience, at half the cost of other mock
exams, this is a must buy if you want to pass...”
—Domiane Forte (“Vitruvian Duck”)
“This
book did exactly like the others said.”
“This book did exactly like the others said. It is
immensely helpful with the explanation... There are so many codes to
incorporate, but Chen simplifies it into a methodical process. Bought it and
just found out I passed. I would recommend.”
—Dustin
“It
was the reason I passed.”
“This book was a huge help. I passed the AREs recently and
I felt this book gave me really good explanations for each answer. It was the
reason I passed.”
—Amazon Customer
“Great
Practice Exam”
“… For me, it was difficult to not be
overwhelmed by the amount of content covered by the Exam. This Mock Exam is the
perfect tool to keep you focused on the content that matters and to evaluate
what you know and what you need to study. It definitely helped me pass the
exam!!”
—Michael Harvey (“Harv”)
“One of the best practice exams”
“Excellent study guide with
study tips, general test info, and recommended study resources. Hands down one
of the best practice exams that I have come across for this exam. Most
importantly, the practice exam includes in depth explanations of answers.
Definitely recommended.”
—Taylor Cupp
“Great Supplement!!”
“This publication was very
helpful in my preparation for my BS exam. It contained a mock exam, followed by
the answers and brief explanations to the answers. I would recommend this as an
additional study material for this exam.”
—Cynthia
Zorrilla-Canteros (“czcante”)
“Fantastic! ”
“When I first began to prepare for this exam;
the number of content areas seemed overwhelming and daunting at best. However,
this guide clearly dissected each content area into small management
components. Of all the study guides currently available for this test - this
exam not only included numerous resources (web links, you tube clips, etc..),
but also the sample test was extremely helpful. The sample test incorporated a
nice balance of diagrams, calculations and general concepts - this book allowed
me to highlight any "weak" content areas I had prior to the real exam.
In short - this is an awesome book!”
—Rachel Casey (RC)
