I would never go through all of this for exclusivity or prestige. Are you aware that most people do not know or care what an LA is?  I was kidding wh…[Read more]

Have you already passed all of these? I still need all of these sections and am in Saint Augustine. I would love to study with someone.

I just passed A after being out of school and away from a firm for 13 years. I studied all the available tests, read all of the books (five of them, I think. available on interlibrary loan) on the reading list and researched everything on the ppi that i did not know all about. (even the wrong answers). I also looked at project manuals. I…[Read more]

Anybody studying together in North East Florida?

Those of us who have not worked in a mulit-disciplinary broad service firm or who have been out of work have to rely heavily on accurate, available…[Read more]

I’ve got tons of regurgitated and new study material and have been to last years preps. My problem is that the lare is a moving target and I am trying to do this with dwindling funds. I am studying A now and everywhere I look, new issues pop up that require hundreds of dollars to gain…[Read more]

I paint the differences between things”. That’s the best cocktail answer I’ve come up with. Yes, it leaves the hearer perplexed, but at least they find me thoughtful and witty instead of wordy and irrelevant. Landscape Architects don’t only design stuff, they make stuff work. I believe LA’s must become…[Read more]
