You always offer such a great perspective!! 🙌

JUST PASSED MY LAST TEST! LETSSSS GOOOOOO!!! AHHHHHHH

Very detailed explanation on preparation of exam

My second attempt at PA is next week (my fourth exam). This will be the shortest time between an exam and a retake. Tip 5 felt especially relevant for me

Thank You Byoung for providing that. I agree that once you start taking the exams to complete them. Don't sit on it for ever. When you think about a 5-7 year cycle. If you started 5.0 early in cycle you have until end of 6.0 before your 5.0 exams expires. Now, once you pass all divisions, then you should get that passed on to the state licensing board where you are getting licensed especially if you have other steps to get licensed whether that be by an experience based path to license, some kind of education/experience combination, or an NCARB standard path to licensing. Once all exam are taken and passed for the particular ARE exam version... say 5.0, those exams should be valid from that point indefinitely... but if you done 3 of the divisions then not do the rest over the next 10 years, then do one 6.0 exam in the last year it is done, those 5.0 exams can possibly be expired out. So complete the exams and try to not take 10-20 years to complete the exams. It becomes harder to determine if you been properly tested for the exams. One reason it needs to be this way is the degree of "currency" as in current not money, (applying definition 1(c) - www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/currency - the quality or state of being current ) or in other words, the degree of currentness of the exam. Exams may test you on codes from a model code of a time period. The codes are updated every three years and sometimes mid-cycle amendments by ICC and the various state authorities in charge of the adopted building codes in the particular jurisdiction. So the exams would need to be kept up to some degree because after a while even 2022 IBC would become stale and dated because the current code in a decade could be IBC 2031 or 2031 edition of the I-codes. Most jurisdictions will be somewhat current within one or two editions and few would be as far back as 2022 and earlier by then. Evolving building regulations and the laws that effects us which are incorporated in various ways in the exams. Likewise, even building designer certification exams are updated and be updated by then. Now, individual states may not accept under initial licensure exams before a certain version number to assure those getting licensed have been current and experience relevant. So keep in mind... diddle daddling may still require for example... new exams to be taken. If I took too long, I may have to up-cycle to 6.0 and if I take too long, any 5.0 exam could be invalid and I have to take a 7.0 exam if further procrastinate... the 6.0 exams become stale and I have to be taking 7.0 or 8.0 exams. Now, NCARB may not be at that stage yet, but assume it would be moving into new major version numbers every 5-10 years. Mostly in or around 5-7 year cycle or close to it. This also aligns to ANAB accreditation guidelines for certification/credentials exams. While NCARB's ARE isn't ANAB accredited, the last I recall, they would follow similar psychometric guidelines which are similar... in underlying principles.

Great video, Bree!

Hi. Thanks for the review. What is the RAM and SDD size on your old and new macbooks? Sorry if I missed it, I couldn't find it in your video.

so helpful even in 2024

This quiz isn't available anymore.

Thanks alot

Thanks 👍

Wow this was soo interesting!

I really want to buy the study guide but im already paying for amber book..... and I don't even like amberbook

It depends on the test, some of the information isn't necessary to know

I failed PA in mid-September and I went ahead and scheduled my retake for mid-October. I felt I could’ve passed my first time so it’s a bummer to have to retake it, but hopefully I’m ready for the retake!

Thank you for taking time of your day to do this video. I greatly appreciate it

Can't wait! 🎉

Hey hi, Nice to see you How are you architecture I am a civil Engineer from south india I am watching you for a minimum of an hour in my daily life 😊 Is there any change to meet you I am soo ex excited And also I love your daughters voice Like aaaaa hooo It makes me smile always 😅😊😂

Thanks for sharing

At last a concise explanation! Thanks :)

So expensive apps with so many shiits inside unrelated to building design

@Byoungdesign failing an exam must weigh a lot on your mind because that’s all you think about and if a person has anxiety issues that makes the episode even more intense for them myself included. We all want perfection but you shouldn’t beat yourself up for it. You have to fail at something to get better I hope I explained that well enough for you guys

Hi, thanks for sharing your perspective! I feel myself more on a traditional side, being comfortable with the fact that in this form of a woman I have certain responsibilities in family, and I'm fine with that - being a woman (mother, wife, housekeeper, cook etc.), because it just feels natural to me, and I experience joy in this role. I am also comfortable with the notion of seasons of life. I had my season of delving into family life completely for 7 years now, and the youngest of my 3 sons is now 3 y.o., and I feel now proud and complete in successfully giving all of my kids the best of me (at the same time, staying sane and taking proper care of myself), because they needed it especially in the first years of their lives. I see them being more independent and satisfied now, and so I am ready to take a step into profession, still keeping family as my priority... because I had a season of JUST professional life without a family and it felt so unfulfilling and empty. That time really gave me the sence of priorities in my life. So with all that in mind, I'm going to take some slow but sure steps to evolving in the profession :) Thanks again! So important to have a support of women in similar situations, opportunity to express myself and hear the others. Wishing you to stay balanced!

Conhratulation maam

TY

Thank you so much

Thank you. 🙏🏻 Chinna_d0ll

I have plans on becoming a Architect in the future, I am still in high school, is there anything I should get ready for or concerned for?

did not get your point

hi . I just went through what you explained in your video hoping it works but it doesnt work . still i have 5 levels which is whown just 4 levels . is there any other way ?

It looks like the quiz isn’t working on your website anymore. :(

Very short and precise.

Wow... I love architecture ❤

Hi! I passed PcM, but recently got a prelim fail for PjM. I was thinking of moving on to CE and then come back to PjM. Do you think this is a good idea?

I believe everything you say, and would like to add that this applies to any career or business. Not just architecture.

thank you much, what learning material would you recommend?

Man this resonated. I’m 34 and I dropped out of architecture to pursue finance. I’ve worked in real estate valuation for 8 years now. It still creeps up…every month 😫

Hey. I'm currently in high school and I want to be an architect. I saw a bunch of Reddit and Quora posts that said it doesn't pay well , doesn't pay early and eats a lot of time and happiness. I really wanna design houses though,do you have any tips ❤❤

Thank you for this!
