In response to the question about rescheduling your exam date, refer to pages 13-15 of the ARE 5.0 Guidelines. It looks like you can reschedule an in-person exam 48 hours in advance and an online remote exam 24 hours in advance. Your first reschedule is free, then there are fees for additional reschedules.
If you have other circumstances preventing you from rescheduling your exam, I recommend contacting NCARB directly.
Is there a video of the 30 day challenge information you guys just had?

Hello. I do not see the 30 day guided process as an option. I only see 60 and 100.
Found the answer in the live Q&A. Please disregard
