Architects Offer Remote Test

SHARE:

NCARB (the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards) has announced they expect to begin offering the option to take the ARE (Architect Registration Examination) through on-line proctoring beginning on December 14, 2020. To accomplish this they are making changes to their examination’s navigation, timing and policies. These changes will apply to both the in-person and online examination. Requirements for on-line proctored testing cover both the technical and environmental setup. Guidelines on the updated ARE can be viewed on https://www.ncarb.org/sites/default/files/GuidetoOnlineProctoring.pdf. NCARB will launch a demo exam later this month.

Remote proctoring allows candidates to test from their home or their office as the examination is brought to them. Procedures are used to verify the examination is given in an environment that is secure, adequately powered and monitored.
