I’ve turned these videos into a good luck ritual! I watch the “what you need to know” video before I start studying for the section. You don’t need the fancy expensive studying programs. Just read the AHPP, contracts, and follow the study guides! The audio lectures are great too. Passed PcM and PjM first try. Going to CE next. Tackle PjM as soon as possible after passing PcM! Lots of overlapping information. I hearing similar things about CE. 🤞
My practice Management exam was about 45% PROJECT MANAGEMENT information. It felt really unfair. I knew there was overlap but I was blindsides by how much. I would suggest studying how to create teams/ utilizations rates etc ... and the AIA documents mentions in both sections for both tests.
Great suggestions Paul, thanks for sharing! It’s wild how much some of the exams overlap. I know some of the exams overlap more than others but it’s a good reminder to study for a wide range of topics. Also, it’s a great reminder that as you’re studying for one, you’re also studying for others! This is really motivating to keep in mind.
Hey! Which lectures are you referring to? The shiff Hardin lectures? If so, you can get the link in my resource guide: dci.byoungdesign.com/areresources
I almost feel like being bi-lingual (actually tri-lingual) is an advantage for me, cause I’m so used to deciphering thoughts and relying on contexts to understand somethings on the daily.
Hi, I’m just starting & I have like a fear on my heart how to comeback to study again especially that I’m not from the US, I’m already an architect overseas but not here in US could you please tell me how long exactly took you to study for any exams, I have a baby & i feel I’m kind of lost how to start & how to make a studying plan, thank you so much for all your informations🙏🙏
Of course! I know the fear can be debilitating, especially when you’re already busy, you’re a parent, and you’ve already been through school/exams. I have a few videos I’ve made on this I highly recommend. I would start with this video all about the exams as a whole and how to deal with failing: th-cam.com/video/EdTpSgRKXoM/w-d-xo.html Then I would recommend my LIVE video all about fear setting. I talk about this exact thing - the fears that come up that hold us back from getting started. I provide tools and a free download to help you work through this: th-cam.com/video/7H_PSm0nAC0/w-d-xo.html Then I would watch the video on practice management, because I recommend taking this exam first: th-cam.com/video/y53Otz6FX4s/w-d-xo.html I also created a video about being a mom in architecture, so that one may benefit you as well to show you support and to know you’re not alone: th-cam.com/video/-YhT-ic9Oqo/w-d-xo.html The exam process can be overwhelming when you are looking at it all as a whole. Try to break it down and view it as just that first exam. Only one exam to get started, you can do it!
@@BYoungDesign Thank you so much🙏 I will definitely watch all your videos & get inspired by your experience, keep Going on what you do & I wish you all the success in life 💗
I’ve found a lot of the practice exams I’ve seen have pretty detailed questions related to building codes. How likely is it to show up on the actual exam? What’s the best way to study this?
Building codes will def show up on your exam. It depends what exactly you’re referring to, but you need to know the basics. The technical exams will require a bit more code and you might see excerpts of the code in the case studies but don’t rely on this too heavy.
To answer your question on where to study - I recommend having a base idea of what tables are important, some general numbers (depending on what the code is), ADA, etc. Inside the Ultimate Study Plan, I detail exactly what parts of the code you should know. I also include checklists so you study all the important items without feeling like you have to memorized the entire IBC (which is impossible!).

Hi Eddie, not necessarily. Depending on your jurisdiction there are options for experience and portfolio, if you meet those requirements you can take the exams. You can check these requirements on NCARBs website www.ncarb.org/get-licensed/licensing-requirements-tool

Where can I find the lectures?

@@BYoungDesign thanks. I found them
Hi! Thank you for this videos! Would you continue to do the ARE Series with the other 4 exams? :)
Yes!! Sorry I've slacked on releasing these. Thank you for the reminder ;)
I almost feel like being bi-lingual (actually tri-lingual) is an advantage for me, cause I’m so used to deciphering thoughts and relying on contexts to understand somethings on the daily.
I love that outlook!

Does one need an architecture degree to take the exam? My background is computer science and I'm fascinated by architecture.
