ARE 5.0 Practice Exams

The Architect Registration Examination (ARE) 5.0, managed by the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB), is organized into six divisions. These divisions are designed to reflect the current architecture practice, focusing on both project and practice management. The six sections of the ARE 5.0 are:

  1. Practice Management (PcM): This section focuses on the management of architectural practice, including the ethical, legal, and professional issues that are part of managing an architecture practice or working as a professional in an architectural firm.
  2. Project Management (PjM): This division covers the management of architectural projects and includes topics such as scheduling, budgeting, and team coordination.
  3. Programming & Analysis (PA): This section emphasizes the early phases of project development, including assessing client needs, project feasibility, and site conditions to develop a program, budget, and schedule.
  4. Project Planning & Design (PPD): This division focuses on the preliminary design of buildings and sites, integrating environmental, social, and economic issues into the project design.
  5. Project Development & Documentation (PDD): This section deals with the integration and detailed development of building systems, construction documents, and project manuals.
  6. Construction & Evaluation (CE): This final division covers topics related to the construction phase, including bidding, construction administration, and post-occupancy evaluation.

These sections are designed to ensure that candidates possess the knowledge and skills necessary for the effective practice of architecture, particularly in the areas of project coordination, cost, and regulatory compliance, while integrating the necessary design and documentation skills.

The document now reflects the latest details related to rescheduling fees, exam accommodation applications, and American Institute of Architects (AIA) resources. Learn more about the changes below and access the latest version on their website.

Exam Accommodations

Applications for both Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) and English as a Second Language (ESL) accommodations for the ARE are now available through My NCARB. To apply for either type of accommodation, please navigate to the Exams tab of your NCARB Record. You will be required to upload supporting documentation. The ARE 5.0 Guidelines includes detailed steps for requesting exam accommodations through the online forms.

Rescheduling Fees

NCARB is implementing a new policy for Architect Registration Examination® (ARE®) rescheduling fees. Starting August 1, 2023:

·  The first time a candidate reschedules a previously scheduled exam appointment, it will be free

·  The second reschedule of the same appointment will cost $50

·  The third and all subsequent reschedules of the same appointment will cost $100

The ARE 5.0 Guidelines now reflects the updated policy, which is intended to ensure that all candidates have access to exam appointment times.

AIA Resources

The AIA now provides free access to contract documents and other exam-related resources through My NCARB. To find these resources, log in to your NCARB Record and navigate to the “Quick Links” section of the Overview tab or the “ARE Resources” section of the Exams tab. Instructions for accessing these documents are now provided in the ARE 5.0 Guidelines.

Other Changes

As previously announced, NCARB has retired both the Approved Test Prep Provider program and the $50 rebate for candidates scheduling an online proctored appointment for the first time. These sections have been removed from the ARE 5.0 Guidelines. The document also now reflects a clarification on the time frame for receiving score reports—all score reports will be delivered within seven days of your exam appointment.
