Resources
All candidates preparing to take ARE 4.0 should download the ARE 4.0 Guidelines. This free publication contains an overview of the ARE 4.0 divisions, as well as information about the practice programs, the rolling clock, and maintaining exam eligibility. The ARE 4.0 Guidelines also explain the six steps to completing the ARE.
NCARB produces exam guides for each of the seven divisions that are free and can be downloaded from its web site. Each exam guide contains sample multiple-choice questions (except Schematic Design), one passing and one failing solution for each sample vignette, and a list of references for further study.
NCARB also produces a practice program for each division with sample vignettes for candidates to solve. The practice programs can be downloaded free of charge, and will run on an IBM PC or compatible computer running Windows 98, Windows XP, Windows NT, or Windows Vista 32-bit.

—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
