LARE Sections C and E Workshops – held at AECOM in Orlando, FL in May

Posted on April 25, 2012 by

FLASLA is pleased to announce it has added a new LARE review seminar just in time before the exam is restructured.  Please see the details below.

2012 LARE Review Seminar

DATE:     Saturday May 12, 2012
PLACE:   Office of AECOM
150 N.  Orange Ave., Suite 200
Orlando, Florida  32801

FOR WHOM: LARE Candidates – taking Sections C & E in June
SCHEDULE:     Sections C and E    10 to 5pm

REGISTER HERE

Unlike the Review in the past, this year’s LARE Review Seminar will only cover the vignette sections C & E.  This review is geared to candidates registered to take the vignette sections in June 2012 BEFORE the exam is restructured.  Since these candidates will already be familiar with the LARE exam, the review will cover typical errors made with the vignettes and review of sample vignettes.  You are expected to have prepared prior to this seminar.  Utilize the local study groups (call your Section Chair for information) and study material as published by CLARB and can be procured by calling (703) 818-1300 or ordering via the Internet www.clarb.org.  A report executed by a national committee of ASLA about the LARE is available on the ASLA web site.  Applicants in recent years have found the study guides produced by PPI to be beneficial – see www.ppi2pass.com.

Members and Non-members can sign up on-line with a credit card HERE!
