Let's break down the ARE (Architecture Registration Exam)! In this new ARE Series, I am taking you through each exam, how I studied, what I found useful, and how to pass. The first in the series is all about Practice Management (PcM). One of my most popular videos on YouTube is all about getting through the entire exam process, so definitely go check that for a broad overview and learn how to deal with failing. I am often asked about specific exams, so I want to bring you through each one. I talk about what topics are on the exam, what the best resources are to study, how much time you should take to study, and dealing with testing anxiety.

Harp Cosgrove is originally from Central California, attended Fresno City College and transferred to NewSchool of Architecture and Design in San Diego, CA. During her time at NewSchool she had the opportunity to intern with RadLab and The MillerHull Partnership and later graduated with her Bachelor’s of Architecture.
Following graduation, she worked with Architects HGW before moving to Philadelphia, PA. During her time in Philadelphia Harp really found her voice and place in architecture. She began her licensure journey while working with BRR Architecture and would go on to complete nearly all her ARE exams while there. Some unexpected life events led to Harp and her husband, Bill, to move back to her hometown in Fresno, CA a couple of years after starting their life in Philadelphia.
After settling into their new life and welcoming their daughter, Harp resumed her journey to licensure as a new mom. With the added additional California Supplemental Exam, being a stay-at-home mom, and living in a new place, the path to licensure changed from being a collaborative effort to an isolated one. After completing her ARE exams Harp posted an open letter of encouragement for any other new moms (or parents!) finding themselves feeling like she did during her final exams.
NCARB reached out to her to speak on her experience and Harp was so proud to shed some light on how different the licensure experience can be when it overlaps with major life events. You can read her article here. Since then Harp has completed her CSE and received her Architect’s License in California.

There are four common types of fear. It is important to take an honest look within at where your fears may land.
Are you afraid of how you may be perceived by others?
Are you afraid of not succeeding?
Acknowledging what fears are most common for you allows you to begin forming a strategy to overcome them. This episode is an audio recording of an Instagram LIVE where I discuss taking the AREs and the common fears associated with failing.
I also discuss a successful technique to help overcome those fears.
