Thanks for your insights Eddie and Stella. I'll be taking the exam tomorrow (my second try after 3 years, a lot has changed) and this video has been helpful. Just want to clarify that the Automatic Mutual Recognition / JobPass is a thing since 2023, where registered Architects may practice in all States and Territories in Australia except Queensland. Please correct me if I'm wrong. The new format for Part 2 is now 80 questions in 120 minutes, still online, and is tested against the new NCSA 2021. The new NCSA 2021 is much more expanded to cover a wide area of an Architect's responsibilities, in greater detail than NCSA 2015. I had a lot of difficulty adapting to the new NCSA but I do believe it is a much clearer system than before, although some of the mandatory performance criterias are a little unfair to be tested against at registration (as each company's client base may not naturally cover those areas). I'm not sure if you're still active here but if you reply I'll try to come back here if I have any new advice. Also the Mukbang format was great!

Just graduated, so I'll be coming back to this in a few years when I begin the registration journey, thank you!
Good to have you back!
