AIA Denver ARE Study Group

I attended the study group for AIA Denver last night. I liked the energy in the room, and there was a good range of test takers. Some people have already completed some of their exams, others are starting their first test just like me. We discussed best ways to communicate among the group, and different seminars for those interested. This study group is a free service of AIA Denver, but is limited to AIA members only. For those interested in either the group or membership contact Emily Ewing.

The group meets every Monday at 5:30 - 7:00pm in the AIA Denver office.

For the first 7-8 weeks, the group will focus on the following exam sections.
SCHEMATIC DESIGN
BUILDING SYSTEMS
CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS
PROGRAMMING, PLANNING & PRACTICE.

I will study with the newbies for Schematic Design for the first couple weeks, hopefully take the exam and then start studying for Building Systems.

Additionally, AIA offers a Review Seminar Schedule. The next session is Saturday March 13th, Programming, Planning & Practice

AUTHORIZATION TO TEST

I got my authorization to test on January 15th, 2010. It came in the mail from Prometric.
I submitted my Council Record to be reviewed on December 7th, 2010. It took about 5-6 weeks, which is close to what they predict. As I have mentioned I will begin studying after the conclusion of the winter olympic games. I also receieved word from AIA Denver of a new study group for any of those intereseted.
