I took my first ARE today and I failed PcM.
I was confident and finished the exam with 10’ left but it said I failed.
I have no idea why.
Can someone help to explain?
I’m so sorry to hear about your PcM result, @tuongkle! Rest assured that you are not alone - it is very common to have a miss along your ARE journey. Especially considering that this was your very first exam, give yourself grace. Now that you have one exam under your belt, you know what to expect and will be that much stronger on the next round.
In the next few days, you should be receiving an email inviting you to meet with one of our licensed architect consultants to review your score report and help you develop a game plan for your retake. You will be asked to complete a Pre-Consultation Survey via Typeform, which will then allow you to schedule a 30-minute consultation time. If you don’t receive this email by the end of the week, please let me know so that I can get it resent.
Lastly, don’t forget to request your seat credit through the Pass the ARE Guarantee!
We are here to support and help you get over this obstacle. Keep your head up!
