The National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) is retiring the Architect Registration Examination (ARE®) rolling clock policy and implementing a new score validity policy, effective May 1, 2023.
Under the new policy, passed ARE divisions from both the current and prior versions of the exam will be valid. This national policy change will reinstate the validity of all passed ARE 4.0 divisions, taken between 2008 and 2018. NCARB will be working with licensing boards across the U.S. to facilitate adoption at the state level.
