A.R.E. READY FAST COURSE
is an intense fast paced weekend course designed for students interested in attending a quick comprehensive course before beginning A.R.E. testing process. Typically taught over consecutive days or 3 consecutive weekends. Some sessions are condensed in length in comparison to the standard Ready Course but students are provided a full syllabus to take home. Lecture covers key ARE content and answering strategies. Lectures are note intensive, as a student you will actively takes notes like a traditional classroom environment. With this method, students can walk away with quantifiable education within a set of lecture notes based around a series of line items covering key ARE content. Graphic vignette are taught as a workshop where students actively draw on the computer based on a set routine specific to each vignette. Students are provided a Study Methodology with Syllabus, exam breakdown, daily study routine, mock exam questions and a recommended timeline for testing over 3-month following the course.This course is ideal if you are:
Repeat ARE candidate?
Traveling from out of town?

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. CDS, PPP, SPD, SD, BD and BDCS are covered as a one class day each. SS is covered over multiple days or parts.

Please note that you need to bring a PC laptop 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 and pencil if you donot bring a laptop.
