Shouldn't your Bachelors degree grant you 5 years?
I have a BA from UC Berkeley, not a B.Arch. So I had to work 1.5 yr to satisfy the educational requirement of 60 months. Somebody at the state board, I literally walked into the California Architecture Board in Sacramento, said that if I used time, let's call it the first 1.5 yr of working, and if I was logging AXP hours during that time, I would have to work longer. It's a little confusing because as you said, the AXP is not a day for day equivalent. She basically said "any overlap in the time you used to satisfy the educational requirement will be deducted from your AXP time".
What's further confusing is that how can you deduct my AXP time when regs say "automatically granted 3 yrs exp., possibly more"
