Study Update - Chpt. 4
Read chapter four (4), "Conditions of the contract for construction", for 1-1/2 hours and took chapter quiz only missed one of 15.
Study Update
Last Sunday (4/27) finished reading the B101-2007 commentary. Researched and realised that the 3.1 test (which phases out over the next year) is based on the 1997 contracts. That means I read both the B101 and A201 in the wrong format. I have to let it go and move on. I look forward to reading the '97 versions (of course, they are much longer! haha).
Tonight(4/29), Finished last half of Kaplan CD's chapter 2 & 3, took chapter quiz'z for both, scored 61% & 81% respectively. Printed chapter 4 and will start with that tomorrow.

Study Update
This is my first study post.
Last weekend I completed the Supplementary A201-2007 Owner Contractor genearal conditions. Also, completed the first chapter of Kaplan's 2007 Const. Doc's book. (13 chapters total.)
Tonight:
Studied 2 hours, read 18 pages of B101-2007 Owner Architect agreement. Read part of Second chapter of Kaplan Construction book.

California Architect Registration Exam
In order to become a licensed architect most states require a minimum 4-5 year degree and verified apprentice / work experience totaling 8 years combined. California has an equivilancy allowance that all of the 8 years can be through verified apprenticeship / work experience. That is under supervision of a licensed architect.
There are 9 separate tests + a final Oral exam (California Supplemantal Exam (CSE), aka "The Oral"). I have completed all of the 8 years required work experience. I've had my qualification to test letter since 2005. June first, the test format is being changed (to 4.0) and I have yet to
complete one test.
I have scheduled to take the Construction Documents test on May 12th. If you have passed any test for version 3.1 you are allowed one year (until June '09) to complete in that format and passing one test by May 15th is the cutoff. The test format is one of the biggest learning curves and it proves beneficial to not be the gueinea pig for the new 4.0 test. So we'll see how it goes.
