Architecture Exam Review, Solved Problems: Multiple-Choice Divisions [Paperback]

David Kent Ballast (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 30, 2004

Over 280 challenging problems to help you prepare for NCARB's Architect Registration Examination (ARE). The problems cover all six ARE multiple-choice divisions:

• Pre-Design
• General Structures
• Lateral Forces
• Mechanical and Electrical Systems
• Building Design/Materials and Methods
• Construction Documents and Services

These problems are presented in multiple-choice format, similar to the computer-based exam. Many of the solutions are enhanced with "study notes" which helps make this book a great learning tool. Specific "terms to know" are highlighted, exposing you to definitions you'll want to be familiar with during the exam.

3.0 out of 5 stars dissapointing errors, no errata, November 21, 2005

I just started reading and already found two wrong quiz answers and two questionable ones. Unfortunately it may reflect actual ARE experience, but for a learner it may be just a time lost. There are better sources for ARE preparation. I recommend ALS/Kaplan courses and The Architect's Handbook of Professional Practice instead. No errata for this book is published at the publisher's webpage http://ppi2pass.com. No way to report errors, simply because there is no such a book on the expandable list at http://ppi2pass.com/ppi/PPIInfo_pg_Errata-errataform.html.
