A.R.E. 4.0 READY COURSE

The Funkaar Studios Architect Registration Exam (A.R.E.) Ready Course is typically a 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, take home mock exam 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 a single instructor who 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.
