ok…signed up for my first test. Any study groups for Section C-site design in Los Angeles? I need to START NOW because frankly you guys are scaring the bezesus out of me:)

I agree, if you can avoid taking C and E at the same time you may have better luck. It is a TON of information and you can easily get confused or worse: exhausted! That’s not saying it isn’t possilbe, it is just a lot more difficult. C isn’t too bad, but section E is notorious for being a multi-round test! If you can find a review course in your…[Read more]

I wouldn’t take c and e at the same time either. I took c twice and passed the second time. Just failed e for the first time after studying like crazy. Just signed up for June…we shall see

Here in the Dallas/FT Worth area, offered through UT Arlington & taught by Joe Pack.. Sorry I don’t have the info on when it might be taught, usually early May.

Wendy, which workshop was it?

Wendy Meyer posted an update in the group L.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 14 years, 8 months ago

Honestly I wouldn’t try to take them both at once….study your fanny off for one or the other, pass it, and then take the other in December. I thought site design was a lot easier; I took a weekend workshop that gave me good insights into CLARB world (it’s not about beautiful design!). Work out your shortcuts on parking and bus turnarounds…[Read more]

Any advice for taking both C and E this June? I cannot afford to take this more than once so any advice / tips to pass are greatly appreciated!!

If you live in the wonderful progressive State of Maryland, they haven’t even mailed the scores yet (called them today). Too bad their June “Graphic” registration deadline is March 9th. Figures!

Has anyone seen the pass rates for Section E from June 2009 and Dec. 2009? Talk about a big drop. Went from 48% to 32%. Wow! It seems that there is a cycle as far as passing rates go.

When I received my results letter in the mail, the license status said incomplete followed by the exam sections and the number results.

I too…would like to thank Brandon for this thread. I passed A, B, C, & D first time through in (March & June of 2008). Now if only I could pass E (failed it three times, most recently Dec. 2009).

I finally decided to fork over a rediculous sum of money to CLARB ($160) to review redlines. REDICULOUS! Shouldn’t it be part of the original $330? I…[Read more]

Carolina: What did you mean by “seeing incomplete on the letter?”

Jennifer Nitzky, RLA, ASLA, ISA posted an update in the group L.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 14 years, 9 months ago

If you are in need of study material / PPI books…Cheap! check out Ebay!

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

Yep, that sounds right. I asked CLARB if there was a way to double check one’s score and they told me each state decided on that option so I was curious if anyone had that experience. I’m in Illinois so we don’t have access to redlines and the state says it may or may not offer to review scores or look at the test at all and if they do it involves…[Read more]

I know a woman who took E, was told she had failed and ordered a redline. In the process of redlining the vignettes, the reviewer decided that the woman had passed after all. She found this out after she took a Section E prep workshop, and after signing up for the exam again.
Is that what you mean?

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

Has anyone asked for a score verification process before?

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

What is difficult to understand, and what the passing rates do not reflect, is the number of times a person has taken that section of the exam. For example, the 20 percent of those taking Section B might be taking it for the second or third time. Whether or not taking a section multiple times improves your chances of passing is unknown at least by…[Read more]

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

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]

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]
