On top of it, my state is suddenly requiring Pre-Approval, and there is not enough time to get it before the exam.

Clarb just posted the info below. They also updated the practice test info, they no longer state when it will be available.

Take the time to prepare, a few months, not a few weeks or days. Be ok with failing the first time. Its an experience, and an intimidating one. Take classed offered by Jerry Hastings and/or Ray Freeman. Start a study group. Check out LARE Google for support. You arent preparing in a vacuum…I head into…[Read more]

I am basically an environmental planner (transportation industry) who also gets to do some landscape design projects. Have you started the LARE process?

In California its CLA and I am not sure if other states have their own initials. Landscape Architecture is governed by title laws and you cant be called a Landscape Architect until you are registered. You can be an associate landscape architect or landscape designer etc…RLA or CLA designates that you have gone…[Read more]

I am not an RLA yet, so it has been helpful in my work. If you know trees its not a difficult test. In addition, you can get CEU credit when you get your continuing education credits for your RLA. Its fairly inexpensive. Keep in mind many LA’s dont know trees. Learning more about them can only be a good thing.

I just commented on the statistics they posted about completing each sections, I find it hard to believe that the average number of times it takes to pass E is less then 2. How many people do each of you know that took at least 3 attempts, 4 attempts and more?? C, yes, maybe, One fail…[Read more]

The program has improved immensely from when I was there, which was I think what you would call, a transition time. I have sat in on the first year reviews and provided portfolio reviews for the last 2 years. Penn is Penn, you have an ivy league education that you can put on your resume.

It shouldnt hold you back from expanding your knowledge of the profession. I think a bigger point is knowing when you are ready to learn all of the information and to really buckle down to study.…[Read more]

Spend money/time on this end for a better outcome on the other end. If you made it through 4 of them at one shot and only have to pay an extra $400 you are doing better than most! I failed A and C the first time, passed the second for both and failed E twice. I did the redline for C and it…[Read more]

Its good for the ego to fail one of the sections. Keeps you humble. Good luck in June!

I think you are being a little harsh.
