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]

Thoughts on Tuesday’s latest Section E monster…?

Jonathon and Peter,

I’m a new member to land8 and this group, and I just wanted to introduce myself. I’m a LA, owner of a D/B firm in the mid east U.S. (primarily construction), practicing for 30 years. I have an interest in sharing and learning about methods of using ordinary materials in unusual ways, and this may be a good avenue–learning and…[Read more]

Why do so-called award-winning projects never have handrails on steps with more than 3 risers?

I finally passed C! Passed 4 of the 5 the first time, but this was round 3 with Section C. Yippee! Sayonara, LARE!

I passed C and that is that for me and the LARE! We can now go our separate ways, thank goodness.

My head is still trying to recoup after taking both C and E for the first time…

Dean Howell posted an update in the group L.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 14 years, 5 months ago

I took section C. My plan was to get through the test on my trace without putting it on the test sheets. Get them worked out and leave the labeling and all that for the end. I thought it was a good plan since I got through it with a few hours to spare. I checked them over and then started putting them from my trace onto the sheets. With about an…[Read more]
