TLS Landscape Architecture

  • I asked CLARB about two things on the redline review.
    A. The extra non-aforementioned fee that raises the price by almost 50%.
    B. The no personal checks.

    They replied with the company line that they need to pay for a room and someone to show us our test. I don’t understand why I can’t just get my redlines mailed to me and it would save the $75…[Read more]

  • I took both C and E a second time in December and failed, was so confident on section C that I couldn’t figure out what went wrong. I’m applying for IL license so I can’t see my redlines, my only bit of hope is that the 6 part scoring system showed me passing 4 out of 6 sections, but seeing the incomplete on the letter wasn’t encouraging. I wonder…[Read more]

    Does anyone know any good tutors for section E in the Washington DC – Baltimore area?

    Greetings from Albuquerque, Naomi! Your anecdote got me in a sensitive place, too. I should think by now you ARE a landscape architect, whatever the law says. E is annoying but you will get through it and then you can write articles–from the point of view of a Registered LA–about why therapeutic landscape designers need certain skills and…[Read more]

  • Hi Amy…It’s me…Joanne

  • Clayton,
    It varies by state, but it is really more of a paper keeping issue. In CA you have 5 years to finish before they purge their files. And typically the expiration date on the test occurs within 5-7 years, but again, it is state by state.

  • Does anybody know if there is a time limit as to how long you have to apply for licensure after passing all of the test?

    In other words do you have to apply for licensure within a certain amount of time upon passing the L.A.R.E.?

  • CONGRATULATIONS, Brandon, Clayton, and Wendy! I’m inspired.
    Sadly, not inspired enough to take Section E again in June. I’ve got a huge project due right about then, and I just don’t think I can give studying the time it really needs. Being self-employed and having to do this on one’s own really sucks. Happy to have work, not happy that my big…[Read more]

    In answer to Amy, I took grading twice and all the other sections once. I did not try to take C and E at the same time, it seemed like asking for trouble… a guy in my study group passed E and failed C this time, go figure…!

  • Bad night…failed Section E 🙁 Good morning…going to study hard and tackle it in June again!!! (First time fail…last section)!

    Congratulations Brandon, anyone who has taken Section E multiple times (including me) shares your sentiments. I passed after 7 times. After the second or third time I thought I would never get by Section E. I just couldn’t bring myself to quit. After passing, last June, I have just now sent in my application to take the CA supplemental. I too…[Read more]

    I just wanted to say a big thank you to Brandon for starting this conversation….it made me feel a lot less nutty to go through this process with a crowd of others in the same boat. I am happy to say I’m done now, passed grading and all the other sections and now I can move on with my life! And whoever recommended the LARCH software, there’s some…[Read more]

    Two points Brandon makes that I would like to reiterate, because they are really important if at first you don’t succeed….

    Be really careful about reading the requirements of the vignettes. CLARB places a very high premium on the KSA “Ability to Read, Understand and Follow (precisely) Written Directions”.

    Figure out your weaknesses and bring…[Read more]

  • Per your request Ray, I am submitting this for anyone that needs help or hope to pass this monster we call LARE….

    As far as what advice to give you….where do i start….I know everyone has different study habits and ways of learning and understanding information….For me, the biggest help was having real life experience and mentors(Jerry…[Read more]

  • Let me add my congratulations Brandon. Isabelle Greene took that portion many times (I’m sworn to secrecy on the total) but she passed. And Clayton, congratulations!

  • Ray Freeman posted an update in the group Group logo of L.A.R.E. - ANYTHING GOESL.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 16 years ago

    Congratulations Brandon! It was obviously a real slog, but you kept after it! This is a good lesson for everyone, if you don’t give up and keep working at it, you will pass.

  • Ray Freeman posted an update in the group Group logo of L.A.R.E. - ANYTHING GOESL.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 16 years ago

    Clayton,

    I imagine Ready Set Practice by Bruce Sharky or Guidelines for Professional Practice by Lane Marshall would address this.

  • A.Corry posted an update in the group Group logo of L.A.R.E. - ANYTHING GOESL.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 16 years ago

    Good work Brandon! Troy says he’ll teach you the secret handshake now!

  • Can anybody suggest books that go further into explaining all the different insurances that have to be carried?

  • WooHOO!!!! I passed all mine!!!!!!!!
