A.R.E. 4.0 READY COURSE
The
Funkaar Studios Architect Registration Exam (A.R.E.) Ready Course is typically
an 3-month course designed as a complete preparation package. The
course offers
a step-by-step approach for exam preparation. Sessions are sequenced in a
progressive manner to guide students in the ARE process. This course is ideal
for students seeking steady guidance in passing the exams. Lecture covers
key ARE content and answering strategies. Students are provided
a Study Methodology with Syllabus, exam breakdown, daily study routine, in-class mock exam questions and a recommended timeline for testing. Our recommended timeline for testing encourage concurrently taking the ARE throughout course duration for students who are interest in help with the testing process. The timeline recommends testing for each division after that division is covered in class and prior returning to class for the next division.Students may qualify for FREE online mock exams after completion of Student Evaluation forms after each exam.
Unlike
other seminar style classes,
ARE READY Course is a
cohesive college-level
type course taught by

has passed the entire computerized ARE.
Each session covers (1)
exam division. Some division are covered over multiple sessions or parts as needed to cover the material in details.

to class where indicated (Mac with parallel windows can work
with NCARB Practice Programs). If you experience glitches, try adjusting your screen display setting or reinstall program A laptop is recommended for effective
learning. If you do not own a laptop, try borrowing one from
work, family or friend. It is your responsibility to ensure the software is operational prior to arriving to class, the instructor or TA cannot take class time to provide technical assistance to individual students. Please bring trace, architectural scale
