| About Us | The
Funkaar Studios Architect Registration Exam (A.R.E.) Ready Course is typically
an (9) week 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 will be provided a Study
Methodology with Syllabus, exam breakdown, daily study routine and a recommended
timeline to take ONE exam per week for
students who are interested in the challenge.
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 class covers (1)
exam. **General Structures
and Mechanical are covered
in (2-3) sessions due to
the amount of material.

learning. If you donot own a laptop, try borrowing one from
