AIA East Bay Video: ARE & IDP: Weathering the Storm

April 9, 2012 by · Leave a Comment

Attention Associates:

AIA East Bay has recently recorded a panel discussion of young architects on how they got through the licensure process. The discussion is entitled: ARE & IDP: Weathering the Storm.

The video addresses such questions as:

Which test should I take first?
What study materials do you recommend?
Where can I get help paying for the ARE?
How much time did you spend studying for each test?
What do you do if you fail (and things to be careful of so you don’t fail).
Additional study tips and resources.
How long should it take for NCARB to get back to you? [in regards to submissions you make to them]
How do you determine the experience needed to begin testing?
What’s the deal with CIDP?
How can you earn IDP units if you are currently unemployed?
How did you get all the different types of experience [required by IDP]?
Why should you get a license?

The discussion is broken into four videos of less than 10 minutes each. To view, click here:

Can’t Wait for ARE Scores?

August 4, 2010 by · 1 Comment

Submitted by Ian Merker, Assoc. AIA

California architectural candidates in the process of taking the ARE are able to view their test results for the past 180 days online. The California Architects Board verifies scores it receives from NCARB.  They may post the scores online before mailing out the results to candidates.  CAB advises that scores are mailed within 5 days of verification, but (in my opinion) that’s just too long to wait when all of your emotions are invested!  It may not be as suspenseful as opening a letter, so I apologize if this information ruins your fun experience.  Close this page now if you don’t want the link.
