PASS

Postby kbrsnow » Thu Sep 26, 2013 3:27 pm

So I received an email this afternoon from NCARB stating ARE Score Report Available. My heart started pounding and I started to sweat. Flash thought of my motivation to test disappearing.... I slowly scrolled down after logging into NCARB seeing my previous test scores; then I saw a Pass! This was my nightmare test.
I left the exam ambivalent whether it was good or bad.
There was a significant amount of questions on lateral forces.
There was a couple of truss questions in there too.

I studied using;
Kaplan 2009
Thaddeus Online Lecture series. (I highly recommend it, although you need to seriously need to dedicate the time to watch it within the 6 weeks of time allowed)
CE course material from school.
Online search for various concepts ( or from what I learned from my kids youtube it!)

Congrats kbrsnow!
I am studying for this test but feeling so overwhelm! I have taken and passed 5 sections already but never felt this way with any other tests! Have been studying over 2 months!
Anyway, congrats for this accomplishment!

I took the exam on Sept 16th, so 8 business days was the turnaround.

kbrsnow ... I just got my email notification at lunch time today and my heart was beating a bit. I logged onto NCARB and got the pass letter too! I worked pretty hard on this exam, but the Thaddeus videos really helped me solidify the concepts. This post gave me some confidence too! I received my Pass letter in 10 days just like you.
