"ARE 5 Review Manual" is tailored to the needs of those studying for version five of the Architect Registration Examination (ARE 5). Although there is no substitute for a good formal education and the broad-based experience provided by your internship with a practicing architect, this book will help direct your study efforts to help you pass the ARE 5.

"ARE 5 Review Manual" is organized into six divisions that correspond to the six divisions of the ARE.

  • Division 1: Practice Management
  • Division 2: Project Management
  • Division 3: Programming & Analysis
  • Division 4: Project Planning & Design
  • Division 5: Project Development & Documentation
  • Division 6: Construction & Evaluation

Each division of the book is divided into chapters that cover all the subject areas included in the corresponding ARE division.

Wherever practical, these subject areas are covered in the same order as they are listed in the exam specifications. To avoid repetition and make your review more efficient, however, this order is occasionally modified slightly so that related subject areas can be discussed together.
