Architecture Registration Examination

The Architect Registration Examination® (ARE®) assesses candidates for their knowledge, skills, and ability to provide the various services required in the practice of architecture. The ARE has been adopted for use by all 54 U.S. Member Boards and the Canadian provincial and territorial architectural associations as a registration examination required for architectural registration.

The application fee to take the exam in Florida is $60. You must have completed at least 235 training units to sit for an exam. Keep in mind, there is a rolling clock in effect on the ARE exams. This means, once you take and PASS one exam, you then have five years to pass the remaining exams.

Fees

Each exam costs $170 through September 30, 2009. As of October 1, 2009, exam fees per exam will increase to $210. The increase is due to recent incidents of exam content disclosure by ARE candidates.
