065 - How to Study for the Architect Exam - Trailer

Architect Exam Podcast

How to study for the architect exam is the one topic I know more about than anything else. This episode is a trailer for a free 30-minute video presentation covering what actually works and how not to screw it up.

I put this presentation together for an NCARB licensing advisor event, and it turned out so well that I decided to release it as a free resource on our website. It includes detailed slides that walk you through the architect exam prep strategies I've seen work over and over again with real candidates, based on 10+ years of coaching through the ARE Boot Camp.

This isn't a regular Architect Exam Podcast episode. The full presentation is a video designed to be watched, not just listened to, which is why it lives on our website instead of in your podcast feed.

📝 Key topics covered in the full presentation:

  • Why getting your architecture license is the most important project of your career

  • The two phases of the ARE and why exam order matters

  • Why NCARB's objectives are your only study roadmap

  • How to use textbooks (and why video courses alone aren't enough)

  • Realistic expectations: 700 to 1,300 hours and 3 years on average

  • The mindset shift that separates people who finish from people who quit
