This study guide is comprehensive, thorough, and concise. It was easy to read through and grasp concepts at a deeper level. The study guide not only helped me to pass but helped me gain true understanding of the various concepts presented. Cannot recommend these enough.

This was the first ARE I was taking and I was so overwhelmed with new information that they don’t really teach in grad school. This study guide (and the podcasts) really helped me understand what I needed to know and helped me pass the exam on my first try!

A perfect study guide that helped me pass my PCM exam. Super happy with the way the notes are written and how the contracts were translated. Thank you very much!!

Background
When I began studying for the ARE I felt excited and overwhelmed. The search for relevant, affordable, reliable content felt daunting. Aside from a few really expensive resources, I couldn’t find an affordable, comprehensive study guide. I felt like my only option was to read every book on the ARE Reference Matrix. So, for my first test (Programming & Analysis) I read 14 books in six months. Yes, I passed on my first try, but it became pretty clear there had to be a better way.
The study guides available to me were outdated and crafted by people who hadn’t actually taken the current version of the exam. It got me wondering: Why not create a study guide written by someone who’s actually in the process of taking the ARE? If I’m going to sift through all this material anyway, why not lighten the load for everyone else and share what I learn?
My mission? To make your journey towards becoming a licensed architect a bit less stressful and a lot more enjoyable. I aim to deliver content that not only helps you pass your exams but also I hope this content becomes a valuable asset in your professional career.
Resources
For each exam division, I’ve produced two things: a free podcast series that covers key topics in a relaxed, engaging way, and a comprehensive study guide filled with everything you need to know to pass.
I produced this content as I navigated through each exam myself, making me your personal guinea pig for testing the effectiveness of the guides. Each guide was only released after I passed each exam. So, let’s take this journey together, and transform the daunting task of becoming a licensed architect into an enriching experience that paves the way for our professional success.
