ARE Mock Exam series by ArchiteG, Inc.
Time
and effort is the most valuable asset of a candidate. How to cherish
and effectively use your limited time and effort is the key of passing
any exam. That is why we publish the ARE Mock Exam series to help you to
study and pass the ARE exams in the shortest time possible. We have
done the hard work so that you can save time and money. We do not want
to make you work harder than you have to.
Do not force yourself to
memorize many numbers. Read through the numbers a few times, and you
should have a very good impression of them.
You need to make the
judgment call: If you miss a few numbers, you can still pass the exam,
but if you spend too much time drilling these numbers, you may miss the
big pictures and fail the exam.
The official NCARB sample MC
questions have no explanations, and the official NCARB sample vignettes
have no step-by-stepsolutions. The existing ARE practice questions or
exams by others are either way too easy or way over-killed. They do NOT
match the real ARE exams at all.
We have done very comprehensive
research on the official NCARB guides, many related websites, reference
materials, and other available ARE exam prep materials. We match our
mock exams vignettesquestions as close as possible to the NCARB samples
and the real ARE exams instead. Some readers had failed an ARE exam two
or three times before, and they eventually passed the exam with our
help.
All our books include a step-by-stepsolution to each of the
NCARB sample vignette with screenshots and related NCARB software
commands, a complete set of MC questions (except for the SD AREmock
exam) and vignettes matching the real ARE exams, including number of
questions, format, type of questions, etc. We also include detailed
answers and explanations to our MC questions, and a step-by-step
solution to each of the mock vignettes with screenshots and related
NCARB software commands. Our DWG files for our mock exam vignettes can
also be installed and used with the NCARB software.
There is some
extra information on AREoverviews and exam-taking tips in Chapter One.
This is based on NCARB AND other valuable sources. This is a bonus
feature we included in each book because we want our readers to be able
to buy our ARE mock exam books together or individually. We want you to
find all necessary ARE exam information and resources at one place and
through our books.
