A.R.E. 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. Lectures are note intensive, as a student you will actively take 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. Most 4.0 classes end with graphic vignette 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, in-class mock exam questions and a recommended timeline for testing.

Finally a cohesive college-level type course taught by a single, licensed instructor who has passed the entire computerized ARE.
