L.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 14 years, 8 months agoHonestly 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]

Residential Design Group 14 years, 9 months agoI was wondering what sites residential designers use to find certain products or materials. Let’s say you want to find certain types of outdoor porcelain tiles, sculptures, water features, etc. Are there sites out there that are relevant for us to use? And if so, would anyone like to share these?

L.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 14 years, 9 months agoIf 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!

L.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 14 years, 9 months agoHas 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.

L.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 14 years, 9 months agoWhen I received my results letter in the mail, the license status said incomplete followed by the exam sections and the number results.

L.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 14 years, 9 months agoI 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] -

L.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 14 years, 9 months agoYep, 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]

L.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 14 years, 9 months agoI 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? -

L.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 14 years, 9 months agoWhat 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]

L.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 14 years, 9 months agoI 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]

Residential Design Group 14 years, 9 months agoOops — 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.

Residential Design Group 14 years, 9 months agoWow…. 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]

L.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 14 years, 9 months agoI 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]
