rolling clock and transition from 4.0 to 5.0.

Dear NCARB specialist,

I have questions about rolling clock and transition from 4.0 to 5.0.

I passed SD and SS many years ago, especially my SD will be expired 9/2/2018. I just passed SPD , CDS and PPP recently. Under this scenario, it might deserve to try to take BS and BDSC before 6/30/2018.

I know if I failed one of these two, I need to transit to ARE5.0 and start to take the PPD and PDD. I have two questions:

If I failed BS and BDCS in June, can I start to take PPD and PDD right away, or I have to wait 60 days ?
My SD will be expired on 9/2/2018, if I were not able to pass PPD or PDD before 9/2/2018, the expiration of my SD of ARE 4.0, will not hurt my credits of PPP, SPD and CDS to ARE 5.0, right?

That is to say, no matter my SD or SS expired or not, I still only need to take PPD and PDD before the expiration of PPP, SPD or CDS. Right?

Please kindly advise.

Thanks

Wendy

Hi Wendy,

To answer your two questions...

1.) No, you do NOT have to wait 60 days to begin testing once you transition to ARE 5.0.

2.) The expiration of your SD exam in September will have no impact on your transition. You will receive credits in ARE 5.0 for the ARE 4.0 divisions of CDS, PPP, and SPD. As long as none of those "roll off," then you will just need to pass PPD and PDD in ARE 5.0.

Hope this helps! You can always call NCARB Customer Service and they can walk you through any other individual questions you may have.
