WeARE Licensed Architects

Really appreciate everything that you guys do, and thanks again for helping me become a licensed architect!​

John

Overall, I found the questions to be useful and more rigorous than many others out there.

Mary

Thanks again for working hard on getting more questions, they are great! Thank you for all your hard work to help us pass!

Kristall

I loved all the financial questions from PcM. It was a great exercise in “finding the missing variable” given the provided information. I felt like it was a very beneficial exercise in applying my understanding to the typical equations from the AHPP. I’ll be honest, WeARE is the best ARE 5.0 practice exams that I’ve used so far, they really applied the information in a practical yet challenging way. You definitely have a return customer…!

Cory

I bought the PA exam bundle and I think it was extremely helpful. It really helped guide me on the areas where I was weak. Some of the questions even bleed into PPD content a bit but that worked out great. I would rather know too much than not enough. Passed my PA exam first try!

Sam

Thank you so much, could not have done this without the help of the WeARE team! I will definitely continue to promote your practice exams!

Jon

Hello! I love these exams, it has been so helpful while studying for the ARE 5.0. I am hungry for more questions!

Davide

Thank you so much, I truly appreciate it. Your site is fantastic! The practice questions are on the hard side; they make me stop & think and pay attention to what I'm reading both in the questions and in the resources.

Tom

I found the ARE mock exams to be very helpful in preparing me for the real thing.

Maria

I feel I've gotten a great value thus far; I'll be sure to recommend your product where I can.

Shawn

I have been enjoying using your ARE 5.0 exam bundles. Keep up the good work and thank you for your help!

Joey

Your willingness to push the service forward will benefit you and your clients well. I think those learning (most much younger than myself) will benefit by having someone who is concerned with finding some level of parallel knowledge so that these services help as oppose to impede their professional progress. Lastly, thanks for the personal interest in my concerns and for reaching out.

Jay

Get started with the ARE 5.0

The willingness to put in some blood, sweat, and tears to get what you want out of life is one of the most helpful traits to have. 

Architects earn a median salary of roughly $82,000 and can enjoy a career full of fulfillment and challenge. If becoming a licensed architect is something that interests you, you have to be willing to put in the work required to pass the Architect Registration Examination (ARE) 5.0.

Here are some tips that will dramatically improve your results and performance when taking the exam. Let's get started with the ARE 5.0.

1. What Is the ARE 5.0?

First things first, you have to know in detail what is included on the test. 

The National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) is an excellent resource when you'd like to learn exactly what the exam entails. 

Sections of the exam include Practice Management (PcM), Project Management (PjM), Programming and Analysis (PA), Project Planning and Design (PPD), Project Development and Documentation (PDD), and Construction and Evaluation (CE). 

These six sections are organized so that you can get your license and be prepared for the work ahead. 

2. Join a Study Group With Like-Minded and Motivated People

Team up with other like-minded budding architects so that you can put your heads together in the form of a study group. These groups are great for accountability and will help you to avoid procrastination. 

With multiple people carrying the load you will learn quicker and can help to shore up each others' weaknesses. These groups will help you all focus on different sections little by little so that studying doesn't become overwhelming.

3. Take Several Practice Quizzes

Before spending money on paid practice questions, start with some free quizzes that will help your study efforts.  You can take these quizzes in the comfort of your own home or on-the-go. It will help you get a feel for what's included on the exam. 

Many of these quizzes feature questions that are strikingly similar to what you'll find on the actual exam. This way, you won't be caught off guard on exam day.

4. Develop Study Skills Centered Around Passing the ARE 5.0

Your study habits dictate a lot about the success you will have when taking the ARE 5.0. 

Digital flashcards, known as Spaced Repetition Systems (SRS) have been scientifically proven to build memory and retention. These apps will allow you to put questions and answers on opposite sides of the card, and then rank how well you knew the information.  

SRS aside, be prepared to figure out your style of study habits. We all learn things differently. The important thing is to make sure that you're taking time to study a little bit every day, rather than waiting to cram. This consistency will allow you to learn the information completely, rather than superficially. 

5. Give Yourself More Time to Prepare

Finally, pick your division and schedule an official exam date so that you can make it real. This gives you a date and a timetable to work toward and puts positive pressure on you to study with consistency. Giving you enough time to buy any necessary materials.

The last thing you should do is wait until the last minute since this compounds stress and makes it difficult to reasonably retain information.

Put these study tips to use to ace your exam.

By considering the previously mentioned points prior to taking the ARE 5.0 exam you will  be better prepared to become a licensed architect. Although it may be a daunting process, treat it with the seriousness that it deserves. 

We have helped plenty of people in your shoes achieve these dreams, and would be happy to do the same for you. We  want to improve your chances of passing the ARE 5.0 and  by creating practice exams and exam prep content that are relevant and affordable. 

Reach out to us (info@tryweare.com) if you still have any questions.

After I tried the ARE 5.0 Free Quizzes, I purchased the full set of ARE mock exams with a discount. So far it's been a great tool, and I'm glad I did! I like that it's not a monthly subscription so I can study at my own pace without feeling pressured by my wallet. Questions always feel relevant to my other study tools, too. Thank you!

James

As we all know the architect registration exam process can be extremely costly. So, before I jumped into the exam process, I performed a ton of research to see what would be the best content that I could purchase for the best price.

Jon

Thanks for you great work, you are doing a great job!

Diana

WeARE is great in terms of content for their review questions. Love the multiple quiz and exam formats, so that you can take a short practice quiz or a timed mock exam. For me these questions were the closest to the actual ARE exam questions. Really made me think about the content of the question and the answers, which really helped with the actual exams. I loved them!

Thank you so much!! You’re awesome, I’m so impressed at how quickly you responded (on a Saturday morning!!). You are a much needed breath of fresh air from the more commercial study material companies. In addition, I have a few friends preparing to test and will be sure to refer them to you.

Blake

Excellent products, I used them for all my exams. Thanks for doing this.
