How to Pass the Landscape Architect Registration Examination (L.A.R.E.), using our easy step-by-step LARE study guide, without weeks and months of endless studying...

Dear Friend,

On a beautiful late spring afternoon, this past year, a young man received the devastating news. He had just gotten back his result on the LARE. It was not what he had hoped for. In fact, it was not even close to the expectations he had considering his past experience and educational background.

He had failed.

Then he remembered his friends and felt even worse. He did not look forward to having to tell them the embarrassing news, especially after he had boasted that it was no big deal. He had been procrastinating about taking the exam because he hated standardized tests, and this only confirmed his hatred.

"What will I do now?" he thought with dismay, slowly realizing the harsh reality of his predicament and its upsetting implications on his future.

How to Solve the Problem

Unfortunately, this hypothetical situation occurs all the time. Someone thought they were going to breeze through the examination, told all their friends, made plans for their future, and then got an embarrassing reality check from the LARE.

The Landscape Architect Registration Examination (L.A.R.E.) is quite simply an objective assessment of a test taker's requisite foundation of knowledge and skills.

LARE scores are used by the Council of Landscape Architectural Registration Boards (CLARB) as a uniform standard of qualification. While it may not be fair, all of a person's plans for the future may be dependent upon needing a certain LARE score.

That is the whole purpose of the LARE Secrets study guide: to give test takers the keys to understand how to succeed on the LARE.

Our LARE Test Study Guide Is Unlike Any Other

If you'd like to get the LARE score you deserve, to quit worrying about whether your score on the LARE is good enough, and to beat the test taking game so you can become a landscape architect, then this might be the most important message you read this year.

Note that anyone can use our LARE Secrets study guide - it isn't just for members of the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA).

Our comprehensive study guide for the LARE is written by our test experts, who painstakingly researched the topics and the concepts that you need to know to do your best on the LARE. Our original research into the Landscape Architect Registration Examination (L.A.R.E.), offered by the Council of Landscape Architectural Registration Boards (CLARB), reveals the specific content areas and the essential skills that are critical for you to know on the LARE. We've taken the information and developed a study guide that is guaranteed to help you be successful on the LARE.

The Exclusive Test Taking Techniques

• Learn why, when, and how to guess to your advantage. Many test takers use exactly the wrong strategy, but you can avoid the pitfalls with the help of our standardized test experts.
• Why answers that sound correct are often the very ones that are wrong and how to tell the difference between the right answer and the many clever-sounding traps set for you by the test writers.
• Our benchmark method for deciding which of the answer choices you should pick.
• What to do about the tough questions that you have no clue how to answer. Don't just give up, use the advice we offer to make sure you give yourself the best chance of getting the right answer.
• Learn how to group your answer choices into families that often narrows down the pool of correct answers. This is a quick way to immediately eliminate one or two of the answer choices and increase your odds of getting the question right.

Before we go any further, let us clarify what LARE Secrets is not. It is not a stale rehash of all of the things you have already learned in the past.

LARE Secrets is our exclusive collection of the tips and the information that we have specially selected to give you the best results on the LARE for the least time spent studying. It's written in everyday language and is easy to use.

We cover the essential skills necessary to do well on the LARE, plus a comprehensive review covering your LARE test.

Chris G.

"I just had to thank you guys for the test prep! I bought the guide as a last minute prep, I mean maybe 5 hours before the test. Like I said, I had ZERO preparation! I was nervous about the test let alone receiving the score I needed. I read the guide through only once before test time and needless to say, the only way I passed was thanks to your refresher!!"

Brian

"Just dropping you a note to let you know that I am completely satisfied with the product. I had already taken the test once and landed in the 75 percentile of those taking it with me. I took the test a second time and used some of your tips and raised my score to the 97 percentile. Thanks for my much improved score."

Denise W.

"I heard about your website from a friend. I am enrolled in a review course, and in hindsight, I wish I wouldn't have taken my review course and instead spent a fraction of the money on your program. Thank you!"
