We suggest you read “Building Design and Construction Systems (BDCS) ARE Mock Exam (Architect Registration Exam)” at least three times:
Read once, and cover Chapter One, Two and Appendixes and the related FREE PDF files and other resources. Highlight the information with which you are not familiar.
Read a second time, this time focusing on the highlighted information to memorize. You can repeat this process as many times as you want until you have mastered the content of the book. Pay special attention to the materials listed in Chapter Two, Section B, The most important documents/publications for BDCS division of the ARE exam.
After reviewing these materials, you can do the mock exam, and then check your answers against the answers and explanations in the back; including explanations for the questions you answered correctly. You may have answered some questions correctly, but for the wrong reason. Highlight the information you are not familiar with.
Like the real exam, the mock exam includes all three types of questions: Select the correct answer, check all that apply, and fill in the blank.
Review your highlighted information, and do the mock exam again. Try to answer 100% of the questions correctly this time. Repeat the process until you can answer all of the questions correctly.
Do the mock exam about two weeks before the real exam, but at least 3 days before the real exam. You should NOT wait until the night before the real exam, and then do the mock exam: If you do not do well, you will go into panic mode and you will NOT have enough time to review your weakness.
Read for the third time the night before the real exam. Review ONLY the information you highlighted, especially the questions you did not answer correctly when you did the mock exam for the first time.
One important tip for passing the graphic vignette section of the ARE BDCS division is to become VERY familiar with the commands of the NCARB software. Many people fail the exam simply because they are NOT familiar with the NCARB software and cannot finish the graphic vignette section within the exam’s time limit.
For the graphic vignettes, we include step-by-step solutions, using NCARB Practice Program software, with many screen-shots so that you can use this book to become familiar with the commands of the NCARB software, even when you do NOT have a computer in front of you. This book is very light and you can carry it around easily. These two features will allow you to review the graphic vignette section whenever you have a few minutes.
All commands are described in an abbreviated manner. For example, Draw > Stairs means go to the menu on the left hand side of your computer screen, click Draw, and then click Stairs to draw the Stair. This is typical for ALL commands throughout the book.
The Table of Contents is very detailed, so you can locate information quickly. If you are on a tight schedule, you can forgo reading the book linearly and jump to the sections you need.
