I passed section D in March 2011.

Sorry Erin, I just checked this now. If there is any question, let me know.

I passed all sections finally! Thanks for your advises and help everyone!

Thanks Andrew. Your information is most practical. You can also text REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation to help those affected by the earthquake in Japan.

 

What you can do now is

1) to donate money (you can involve your company, or larger parties if you are capable)

2) send supportive messages to your friends, families in Japan

 

Government agency is not accepting private goods such as water and food due to limited traffic situation.

Please do things above first, you can think of landscape solutions later.

Thanks Ray. I have one more question regarding specs.

From sample question I took-

 

(Q)Attributes and tests are all essential in which of the folliwing specifying methods?

(A) 1. Reference

     2. Descriptive

     3. Performance

     4.Open Proprietary

 

Correct answer was C. Though I understand performance spec uses attributes and tests, isn’t reference specs the best answer? Please let me know what you think.

I will post questions. Thanks for your help!

Thanks Ray. Did you send me a brochure yet? I am considering to fly out there since WA doesn’t offer anything.

Thanks Ray. I am interested in participating LARE prep class in west coast. Could you email me details?
My email is NTF77@hotmail.com People told me about UCLA extension all the time. Is your class similra to UCLA one?

Jordan:

Yeah, Planting questions in D are always weird and subjective. To be honest, I can not really answer what type of planting is appropriate at the base on sculpture without knowing what type of sculpture it is, and what preferred visual sppearance, maintenance strategies are……lol. I always ended up choosing groundcover or perennials. (other options were creeping ground cover, evergreen shrub, I believe)

I take my exam in WA state. I must say there were about 20 stormwater related questions (maybe more) when I took a test last time. Though I don’t know if LARE exam is customized to different state,
stormwater is one of the most important sibject to study now.

What I want to do next, is to post questions I couldn’t figure out. And maybe you guys can help to discuss what the correct answers might be.

Thanks Jordan!!

Thanks for the link Adam! I always didn’t spend much time planting and treated as less important items for D.
Surprisingly, there was no plant type / species questions for when I took D last time. Usually, there are 3-5
planting questions at least. I guess I have to take more time on this matter and educate myself.

I think you are rigjht about referring to online material. I found out that many video on youtube (building deck, concrete test etc) helped lots to understand everything quickly. Thanks again!

Thanks Jordan for your suggestions. I guess I need to dig deeper to understand how installation, connections, and construction techniques work in different context. Textbook or reading can inform me basics, but it seems that LARE D requires more advanced knowledges specific to all different kind of construction. I will do my best!
What I hate most is design principle question such as appropriate planting type at the base of sculpture etc etc.
