ARE 5.0 Architecture Exam Prep

This app is def outdated and could use a refresh. For those FRUSTRATED about study options I found other study resources I liked and used often like the David BALLAST book. And then ARE Study Warrior was quite useful - subscription based. And then the PPI website not the app is actually solid, which is subscription based as well. Never tried black spectacle because so dang expensive.

Maybe I’m the minority on this, but I paid the subscription fee for a year. I have an Xs. From the start, the app did not function. The text on the cards needs scrolling to view the whole body, and there is no scroll capability. I tried changing the orientation, then I closed the app, restarted it. Then I deleted it, and re-downloaded it, re-signed in, same issues. I tried contacting the app developer, and could not easily find a way to contact customer support. In the end, had to have a lengthy chat process with iTunes to get my refund. This was experience, as of 11/19. Good luck, and I hope it works for you, though other reviews also indicate efficacy issues, so do your homework.

The main problem with preparing for ARE is misleading information. There are so many resources and most of them are misleading. This app is not exception. You can’t learn the right answer if all materials answer the question differently. You won’t see the structure and underlying concepts that are at the core all questions at ARE. Instead if you grab a study material without proper evaluation and try to discern a structure and the meaning you will be very frustrated. Do yourself a favor don’t grab WHATEVER material to prepare for your ARE. Instead go to ARE 5 Community forum and read which study materials are proven by your peers and have close proximity to the questions on actual exam. This Flashcards app is a trash. Save yourself time and effort don’t install it.
