In July 2008, NCARB launched ARE 4.0. This version of the Architectural Registration Exam updates and improves the current format by combining graphic and multiple-choice content in each division of the exam. ARE 4.0 emphasizes the problem-solving skills architects regularly use in day-to-day practice.
Interested in supplementing your ARE studies? Renting a subject set costs $25.00 for AIA members, or $35.00 for non-members, for an entire month of use. Click here or contact Sarah Smith for more information.
