Before taking ARE 5.0 Exam

ARE (Architect Registration Examination) have 6 divisions and it these exams can taken one at a time or they can be taken together in any combination. However, one thing to consider, you must pass all six divisions of ARE within a single five-year period. If you have not completed the ARE within five years, the divisions that you passed more than five years ago are no longer credited, and those division exams must be retaken.

The ARE is organized into six divisions that test various areas of architectural knowledge and problem-solving ability. 

Practice Management:                                    80 questions, 3.5 hours
