Hello,
I am scheduled to take my first exam next week (Programming and Analysis), and I was wondering if anyone can give me some help on what to expect, what to focus on, how to study, etc.
I’ve been using the Programming Primer book and the Ballast ARE Prep book (mainly this one) for studying. What I’m afraid of is the lack of practice questions and exams I’ve been able to find that are free or low budget. I’ve seen a lot about Black Spectacles but I can’t afford $170 per month.
I’ve taken the Ballast practice exam and got around 65-70% of the questions right. I’ve also taken the NCARB practice exam a couple of times. Im scared of continuously taking them to memorize the questions instead of understanding the material, so I’m looking for variety in questions.
Anyways, any help or advice you all can offer me would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
A humble architectural designer
