This is webinar is super helpful! I agree with the comment about bringing the scratch paper back. Will you all be doing a similar session for the Math for the other 3 exams (PA, PPD, PDD)? Also, the guest speaker mentioned something about teaching these calculations to a group, I believe, if so is there more information on this, if open to the general public?

Yes! Thanks for pointing this out; that’s a typo on our end. Doesn’t affect the answer!

Do you all find highlighting on the test platform to be useful? Do you recommend using it?

Highlighting is helpful, but I think Strikethrough is even moreso!

I do, since that is what I would do if I had a real pen highlighter. But what I noticed was that during case studies I wasn’t able to highlight in the references they provide.

Hi @nicole.kimoto and @c.morris.withers !
Thanks for your comments! I’ve heard a lot of feedback regarding the whiteboard feature on the exams. From what I can tell, this is something that was developed during covid. I highly recommend practicing using the whiteboard through your NCARB account and also watching this video which offers tips and tricks on how to efficiently use the whiteboard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kB8H6hdyqBo
Thanks to both of you for joining us today for the ARE Live!

Hi @c.morris.withers !
Thanks for your question! And thank you for your answer @gscott ! I may have answered this in a similarly in a previous question that was posed, but yes there are ways to resize the whiteboard so that you can have it up while also looking at the question. This video tutorial has great tips for how to efficiently use the whiteboard during the exam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kB8H6hdyqBo I also highly recommend practicing the whiteboard on your NCARB account. Thanks again for your question and for attending today’s ARE Live!

Hi @ssstepter !
That’s a great question! After creating a textbox on the whiteboard, you can go up to the toolbar and select the cursor symbol (select object tool). Once you’ve selected the cursor symbol, you can click on the text box and you should be able to edit it. I recommend practicing the whiteboard on the mock exam through your NCARB account and also watching this video for tips on how to use the whiteboard more efficiently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kB8H6hdyqBo Thanks for your question and for attending today’s ARE Live!

Hi @nicole.kimoto !
That’s a great question and apologies if it’s already been answered or answered differently, I wasn’t able to attend today’s ARE Live. I can tell you from personal experience on the exams, I would’ve rounded to the nearest hundredth to represent the correct amount of cents throughout the equation but would’ve have waited until the end to round to the nearest dollar. Thanks for attending today’s ARE Live!
