Quick Overview
Preparing for the ARE can feel overwhelming, but one thing is certain: contracts show up everywhere on these exams. That’s where this site comes in. Instead of trying to cover every topic, we focus exclusively on AIA contract documents, which form the backbone of Practice Management, Project Management, and construction & Evaluation. You’ll get access to hundreds of exam-style questions that reflect the tone, structure, and difficulty of the official ARE 5.0 exams, each with a clear explanation. All content is contract-focused and designed to help you learn how responsibilities, procedures, and project delivery are defined in real-world practice. When you purchase a section or the bundle, you receive full access for one year, giving you plenty of time to study at your own pace and build confidence before test day.
