The ARE Study Group helps to motivate aspiring architects to study together and pass all six exams! Since motivation only gets you so far, the study group offers study guides and tips on what materials are most helpful for each exam. They are also holding specialized workshops with local professionals for each exam to help debunk some of the more difficult ARE topics. The Study Group currently has over 35 participants and hopes to keep growing! Those 35-plus are broken up into groups of 5 to 8. The group meets weekly as a large group and some groups meet bi-weekly, especially when they have an exam coming up. The best part of the study group is being able to support each other throughout the testing process. Pass or fail (though our study guides are favoring passes) the group’s focus is to make sure you stick with your studying and get through your exams!
