Land8: Landscape Architects Network

In contrast to other comments I thought Hinze was a great resource and covered MOST of what was on exam 1.  Just be prepared to google search the topics you don’t fully understand.  There is also a list of vocab words out there on the internet to familiarize yourself with.  I have one exam left to go but I wish the process was transparent and th…[Read more]

Sorry this is for Section $

Very important CLARB has posted, without announcing it, a 2nd revision to the new orientation guide for the LARE that goes back to 120 questions.  It’s now 105 questions that count plus 15 Experimental questions (unidentified in the exam) that DO NOT count.  That is close to 15% of the exam, making it an unprecedented amount of non-point earn…[Read more]

Kalia,
Just registering and taking the LARE is up to around $2000 at current prices, and CLARB keeps raising them.
Some people do not necessarily need to take a prep class. I would advise people to get some basic information via a class or at the very least pay attention to the available free resources available thru CLARB or the ASLA web site or…[Read more]

In response to Matt Mathes:
Who knows how much prep time you need!
Only you do.  If you do take the Exam right after graduation then you are well prepared. If you wait, well then research shows that much of what you learned unless you apply it quickly diminishes with time . As for costs?
Well, I think it only fair to post the costs of our…[Read more]

Hi All, I’m beginning my studies for the L.A.R.E.  Anyone doing the same?  Or has recently taken any of the sections?

Would you say all 4 books CLARB has listed for section 1 are important to cover?  I understand perhaps not in their entirety. 

Josephine,
Hinze will not begin to cover all of Section 1. It just deals with Construction Contracts and Construction Law.

Thank you Cheryl, I’m going to email you now.  Your webinars look good. 

Hi, I’m preparing to take the LARE Sections 1 & 4 in April. Should Construction Contracts by Hinze cover section 1 fairly well? Also can someone please tell me the best resource to learn when webinars or classes in the NY metropolitan area are being offered to prepare for the exams?  I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks, Josephine

I don’t look at it as older folks helping younger folks but rather peers helping peers. As Matt has heard me say, more than half of the folks in my Corson Learning webinars are over 40 and sitting for the LARE. I respect those who took the UNE for their fortitude. I don’t think I could do that in one day in some stiflingly hot state fairground…[Read more]
