Question from NCARB Team

Hello NCARB,

According to the ARE 5.0 Guidelines dated September 2024, only three books and AIA contracts are referenced for passing the CE exam. However, in reading through candidate experiences, I’ve noticed that many of the questions appear to cover technical content related to code, construction details, sustainability, programming, and site planning—topics that are not included in the agenda of the referenced books. below is the screenshot from NCARB Guidelines. 

Could you please update the ARE 5.0 Guidelines to reflect all the study materials necessary for preparing for this exam?

Thank you
