Merry Christmas NCARB, I left you a $185 present under the tree just for you.

I just submitted my Council Record to be Reviewed. They are prediciting a turn around time of 6-8 weeks until I get my Authorization to Test. I will take a break from the blog, until I get the green light. Just a reminder, you have to pay the remainder of your IDP fees before you can submit...get ready for a possible $185 remaining fee. Just in time for the holidays, Merry Christmas.

Site Planning and Design 0-2 Weeks

I have officially switched my first test to Site Planning & Design. I couldn't muster the energy to re-study Building Systems after hitting the speed bump with NCARB. One reason I wanted to take Building Systems, was to regurgitate my Sustainable Design knowledge from when I took the LEED exam. Good news is, there is a Sustainable Design chapter in Site Planning & Design. I checked out both the Kaplan Study guide and flash cards, the flash cards are about 1/3 the size of the BS set. I will spend about 4-5 weeks studying for this. I hope to take the test in early January. I will document both the time spent studying...and my results from all the quizzes I take. This way, if I pass, you can see about what quiz score is appropriate for a pass.

I'm already bored with Building Systems.

I might be tweaking my testing order, more to follow. In my quest to find more Building Systems material I stumbled upon this. Yes, it is corny, but only Architects can procrastinate this efficiently.
