Answer: NO. We do reference AHPP sections/pages in practice exam/quiz answer explanations, but members will need to obtain AHPP on their own (i.e. purchasing textbook, via firm access, etc.).

In some state you can even barrow a copy form your local library. Some AIA and NOMA Chapters also have lending libraries that would have a copy.

Thank you @coachphilipcolwell and @keristenedwards for these tips!

Another handy resource to use in conjunction AHPP are the Wiley guides, which identify key sections of AHPP in relation to the ARE 5.0 objectives per NCARB (as well as the Black Spectacles lecture videos):

> **[The Architect's Handbook of Professional Practice, 15th Edition](https://books.wiley.com/titles/9781118308820/)**
>
> American Institute of Architects. November 2013, Hardcover

Happy studying, everyone!
