Here is another review for my book, “Practice Management (PcM) ARE 5.0 Exam
Guide (Architect Registration Examination)”:
“Clear, concise and direct approach to the necessary knowledge”
This book begins
with a delayed treasure for me: the general rules on the qualifications
necessary for the ARE, a topic that, although it is known in academic circles
and in the generality of the institutions that teach architecture in the USA,
is very unknown to those who coming from abroad with the profession already
learned and wish to continue. A book like this would have saved me years of
research and almost detective efforts in universities and the Internet itself
to find out how to continue my career. Many study programs already incorporate
subjects with this content, which is very difficult for an outsider to access.
Very interesting in
this first chapter is point D13, with tips for the exam, advice and study
methods and specific strategies to face the ARE, the use of the time available
for it and how to improve the study time.
Chapter 3 Business
operations (26% of the exam) is summarized as in few places I have seen, as
well as chapter 4 dedicated to finances, it does not boggle the mind with
spreadsheets and endless reports, but rather breaks down the right information
to face the calculations that commonly accompany those inevitable ARE
questions.
In summary, the
general tone of this work is a summary that does not stun, but rather gives a
direction to study and try to memorize the minimum necessary to pass the exam.
Its true value is how concise and truly necessary it is to be in command of the
right knowledge from which the entire rationalization structure of the topics
of this test begins.
