So I took the new free practice tests offered by ncarb. I noticed the new case studies had a lot of insurance questions. Anyone have good study resources for insurance? I am using AHPP, Black Spectacles, Hyperfine and you tube. Thank you.

  I may also advise looking at "CSI Resource Manual" and "Law for Architects".

  Guzmanelsa, 
  
  You'll absolutely want to understand insurance types for the exam - that's a great example of a high-stakes topic for your practice that most people early-career do not understand well, and so it's very likely to be tested on.  Remember that the ARE tests for minimum competence to meet the standard of care of practice as a licensed architect practicing independently or in a larger firm early in your career.  

  All that said, know that while the practice exams' case studies are a general reflection of how case studies are formatted on the actual ARE, they are not necessarily representative of the specific kinds of topics you will specifically see on the specific case studies on the exams you actually take!
  
  Happy studying!
