  • I just took section A. I thought it was on the Legal and Administrative Aspects of Practice. Little did I know that I was going to be tested on concrete test and what trash to recycle on the job site…..as a matter of fact I don’t remember seeing one question on bidding or the process or contract…Thanks CLARB for making me study crap that has…[Read more]

  • Just joined…graduated from the Univ of Idaho, 1985…….

  • Let me just add to my last with a couple of tidbits. Don’t worry about taking all the tests at once. I have not noticed a lot of overlap – each section almost entirely pertains to its stated material. Frankly, I think folks that say “that test had nothing but section # material on it!” likely did not prepare long enough to know that they were be…[Read more]

  • I’ve posted a notice for my upcoming LARE ABD Workshop in January under the events section of this site.

  • You’re welcome. I hope it helps. I’m using this method now to study for Section B.

  • I’ve taken two of the three multiple choice exams and passed those two the first time using the following method. I wrote a blog entry somewhere on this site expanding on this method but here it is in a nutshell: It may seem strange at first but it works – apparently. You should know I have no LA degree so I had even that much more of a hand…[Read more]

  • I might suggest that taking A&D at the same time might be a good approach as well. There was quite a bit of material that seemed to overlap on the 2 tests…might as well study it all at once!
     
    I took all 3 at the same time. It is indeed doable if you follow Ray’s suggestions. I spent about 6 weeks studying intensively…an hour or two every…[Read more]

  • Taking all 3 multiple choice tests at the same time is doable, but a lot depends on the individual.
    Are you over-worked? (Sadly those employed generally are, due to the “attrition” the profession has experienced)
    Do you have kids, significant others, sick parents, do a lot of onerous volunteer work?
    How focused are you at test preparation?
     
    If…[Read more]

  • If you look through these LARE blogs, there have been suggestions…And my office had some old stuff laying around. Also some people buy the PPI exams and then share the cost with others, or if you take the classes you can get info. There were LARE classes at the national convention that I took last year in Chicago, $50 each, and that gave me…[Read more]
