ARE Live: Construction & Evaluation Mock Exam '22

Hi @kaitlin ,

Great question! It’s important to know some of the common divisions. For example, you might be asked what division metal studs are - non load bearing studs are Division 9 (finishes), but structural studs are Division 5 (metals). I’ve linked to a good conversation about that topic below: Metal Studs - Division 05 vs 09

You don’t need to memorize all of them, but in general I think Divisions 1-12 are fair game. Here’s a handy list of the Divisions: MasterFormat Specification Divisions (CURRENT) - archtoolbox.com

It’s also very important to know the architect’s role during Construction and appropriate processes. For information on this, I recommend taking a look through the Architect’s Handbook of Professional Practice.

Hope this helps!
