In which order should I take the ARE 5.0 Project Development Documentation division?

Above all, there is no right or wrong way to do it. But aspiring architects typically choose the order by which they take the 6 exams per their overlapping and difficulty. The latter may be more subjective and personal, but the former is quite evident once you start studying for the exams. We believe there is a substantial overlap in the study materials between PcM, PjM and CE. And there's also an overlap between PA, PPD and PDD

People usually start studying for the Pro-Practice Trifecta (PcM, PjM and CE) because there is a smaller amount of study materials to read. We would not say these exams are easier than the other three, but the exams are shorter and there is less information to absorb. It is good to start with the shorter exams to gauge what the ARE 5.0 is all about.

Similarly, the experience will also teach you how to carefully, but quickly, read questions. In addition, you will learn how to choose the right answer and how to pace yourself. This will be useful once you get to the 120-question mammoths! Lastly, there is also a great amount of overlapping between PA and PPD and the same can be said between PPD and PDD.
