David, I love your common sense approach!!!

I asked CLARB about two things on the redline review.
A. The extra non-aforementioned fee that raises the price by almost 50%.
B. The no personal checks.

They replied with the company line that they need to pay for a room and someone to show us our test. I don’t understand why I can’t just get my redlines mailed to me and it would save the $75…[Read more]

Oops — just saw the link in your second post — thanks, David.

Still would be great to read the actual pub to know what was included in the study.

John C. Barney posted an update in the group Residential Design Group 14 years, 9 months ago

Wow…. and I thought my comment was long winded!

This is great, though, David. I appreciate it. It is helpful to have to have a peer reviewed pub in this conversation (it means i better try to find the one I was referencing!). And it does run contrary to the prevailing wisdom in the “green” community regarding turf. Do you have a web link or…[Read more]

I took both C and E a second time in December and failed, was so confident on section C that I couldn’t figure out what went wrong. I’m applying for IL license so I can’t see my redlines, my only bit of hope is that the 6 part scoring system showed me passing 4 out of 6 sections, but seeing the incomplete on the letter wasn’t encouraging. I wonder…[Read more]

anyone know the best way to convey “god rays” in drawn perspectives? thanks

Does anyone know any good tutors for section E in the Washington DC – Baltimore area?

Susannah posted an update in the group L.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 14 years, 9 months ago

Greetings from Albuquerque, Naomi! Your anecdote got me in a sensitive place, too. I should think by now you ARE a landscape architect, whatever the law says. E is annoying but you will get through it and then you can write articles–from the point of view of a Registered LA–about why therapeutic landscape designers need certain skills and…[Read more]

This is interesting:

‘Corrected’ UC-Irvine study shows turfgrass to be positive sequester of carbon

Hi Amy…It’s me…Joanne

Clayton,
It varies by state, but it is really more of a paper keeping issue. In CA you have 5 years to finish before they purge their files. And typically the expiration date on the test occurs within 5-7 years, but again, it is state by state.

Clayton Munson posted an update in the group L.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 14 years, 9 months ago

Does anybody know if there is a time limit as to how long you have to apply for licensure after passing all of the test?

In other words do you have to apply for licensure within a certain amount of time upon passing the L.A.R.E.?

Naomi Sachs, ASLA, EDAC posted an update in the group L.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 14 years, 9 months ago

CONGRATULATIONS, Brandon, Clayton, and Wendy! I’m inspired.
Sadly, not inspired enough to take Section E again in June. I’ve got a huge project due right about then, and I just don’t think I can give studying the time it really needs. Being self-employed and having to do this on one’s own really sucks. Happy to have work, not happy that my big…[Read more]

In answer to Amy, I took grading twice and all the other sections once. I did not try to take C and E at the same time, it seemed like asking for trouble… a guy in my study group passed E and failed C this time, go figure…!

Gia Zaffina, PLA posted an update in the group L.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 14 years, 9 months ago

Bad night…failed Section E 🙁 Good morning…going to study hard and tackle it in June again!!! (First time fail…last section)!

Congratulations Brandon, anyone who has taken Section E multiple times (including me) shares your sentiments. I passed after 7 times. After the second or third time I thought I would never get by Section E. I just couldn’t bring myself to quit. After passing, last June, I have just now sent in my application to take the CA supplemental. I too…[Read more]

I just wanted to say a big thank you to Brandon for starting this conversation….it made me feel a lot less nutty to go through this process with a crowd of others in the same boat. I am happy to say I’m done now, passed grading and all the other sections and now I can move on with my life! And whoever recommended the LARCH software, there’s some…[Read more]

Ray Freeman posted an update in the group L.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 14 years, 9 months ago

Two points Brandon makes that I would like to reiterate, because they are really important if at first you don’t succeed….

Be really careful about reading the requirements of the vignettes. CLARB places a very high premium on the KSA “Ability to Read, Understand and Follow (precisely) Written Directions”.

Figure out your weaknesses and bring…[Read more]

Per your request Ray, I am submitting this for anyone that needs help or hope to pass this monster we call LARE….

As far as what advice to give you….where do i start….I know everyone has different study habits and ways of learning and understanding information….For me, the biggest help was having real life experience and mentors(Jerry…[Read more]
