I just finished all the LARE exams, and since I am in California I also took and passed the CA exam. I took C and E together and A, B, D together. If you don’t mind studying and are detail oriented it is totally doable. My strategy was to take a lot of practice tests. As many as I could get my hands on. There is a certain way they test, a ki…[Read more]

I think taking A and B could work very well. But section D has become much more difficult recently — a quite low 51% passing rate on the last exam. Its also 3 hours long, and the material is very very broad.

Maureen, You’re comment made me smile. I hope no one is doing this licensure thing for exclusivity and prestige. One person’s “exclusive and prestigious” is another person’s struggling profession. 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]

It’s great to have a wall of all the books listed as study material. For section A, B, & D the list use to be about 30 books. Most people don’t have the time to read or the expenditures for such a library! They have recently reduced the list to about 4 or 5.Some have very little to do with studying for the exam. Could it be that some academic is…[Read more]

Each time I take it, I think, “I just need to go home and focus more on ( fill in the blank)”. Then I come back, and little I focused on is on there and something I never saw before in all my life is on there. That’s pretty bad when you own over 50-80 vignettes, a shelf of books, numerous electronic feeds and have practiced them every day fo…[Read more]

Thank you Paul for that link. It is really worth reading.

Paul Deering posted an update in the group Topos 14 years ago

I don’t mean to be negative, but I’ve been after Topos for maybe 3 years now to start an on-line version of their magazine. Seems kind of in the spirit of the content don’t you think? I don’t take paper anymore – magazines or newspapers – and yes I pay for the ones that provide good content and present themselves well. How about an iPad App Topos?…[Read more]

dont overlook dubai. ‘acceptance’ to the profession is better there compared to AD. market may be down a bit, but its still worth checking. commuting from AD is not bad, just around 90 mins. better still, stay there, its cheaper and more metropolitan.
