Contract/ADA Questions

[are_taker]

PPP will be my first ARE! I have been studying the material, recently AIA contracts, pretty hard. I feel confident about my understanding of the general ideas within each contract, but I'm wondering what the questions are geared towards on this exam given it's not CD. No, I'm not trying to get specifics from the actual test, but rather info on the style of questioning. Does NCARB expect me to recite article numbers within a contract? Or is a general understanding of an architect/contractor/owner's role in a project, depending on the contract, sufficient?

Also, while I'm here, what about ADA? Are they going to ask me exact clearance widths, etc. or just general ADA principles?

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

PS This forum has been a great resource thus far! I'll be sure to share the love after I take the exam.

You had two questions:
1. Knowing the principles of each AIA contract, delivery method, team structure, etc seems sufficient.
2. Yes, you NEED to know precise ADA clearances. It will help you on pretty much every exam.
