L.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 13 years, 9 months agoI 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]

L.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 14 years agoLet 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]

L.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 14 years agoI’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]

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

L.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 14 years agoTaking 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] -

L.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 14 years agoIf 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]

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

L.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 14 years agoI 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.

L.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 14 years agoMaureen, 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]

L.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 14 years agoIt’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]

L.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 14 years agoEach 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]

All Inclusive Design 14 years, 3 months agoHi Chad – What got me interested in Inclusive design? You’re right, it was my work with therapeutic gardens, especially gardens in the healthcare setting. But then branching out from that, thinking about taking the design principles used for therapeutic gardens in places of healing and broadening to other places where people play and learn.
