GRAPHICS:
Over the past 15 years Archiflash® has helped tens of thousands of candidates like you PASS THE ARE. The alternative to "hitting the books," Archiflash was developed by architects, industry professionals, professors, and interns and is designed specifically to help you PASS THE ARE. This comprehensive, concise, and effective flashcard study system makes ARE test preparation manageable.
The set covers all multiple-choice material and contains 1,152 two-sided cards, color coded and indexed by division. The cards are designed to be shuffled and flipped, study them front to back, back to front, reshuffle—it's up to you. The set contains time saving charts, essential definitions, diagrams, multiple choice questions, equations etc.—more information than you ever thought possible in an easy-to-use flashcard format. Our customers tell us that when studying, it is extremely helpful to skim the entire set of Archiflash in addition to the division you are focusing on. This is because of the interdependence of architectural topics and the inevitable crossover of information throughout the ARE. For example, Programming Planning & Practice may deal with issues found in Structural Systems or Construction Documents and Services. Or, a Structural Systems topic may require some knowledge found in the Building Design & Construction Systems division, etc. Take Archiflash with you wherever you go—on a bus, out to lunch, on a plane. Archiflash is active learning, not passive reading. Use Archiflash in groups. Create your own study games. Preparing for the ARE really can be fun. No other review material will match the effectiveness of Archiflash.

Professor Dorf's book is the premier study source for the graphic divisions of the ARE. Detailed and annotated, the Solutions guidebook walks you through each vignette with focused clarity. This 200-page book also offers insight into the exam itself. From NCARB's intent and computer scoring, to test taking advice and drawing tool explanations, Solutions demystifies the graphic vignettes. The book contains sample vignettes, passing and failing solutions, analyses, recommendations, strategies, tips, FAQ's, fatal errors, and more. Like a how-to-manual for the graphic vignettes, Solutions guides you through the minefield that is the ARE.
For additional practice solving each vignette, we have compiled a selection of Professor Dorf's practice vignettes and solutions. Working with these problems will help you strengthen your ability to read and analyze the program, improve your understanding of passing and failing solutions and more. Available for 3.1 and 4.0, each contains two practice problems and a sample solution for each vignette on the ARE. These provide practice for both 3.1 and 4.0, use both versions for extra practice. The Paper and Pencil Practice Vignettes are presented in .pdf format.
Professor Dorf presents a comprehensive analysis along with sample passing solutions for each of the NCARB Tutorial Problems for ARE 3.1. This allows you to make judgements about your own solutions. These are presented in .pdf format.
Always adhere to NCARB's programming and code requirements. They may not be based on reality, so don't let it throw you.
