Alot of this is really good, but some questions don’t make sense.
I believe a bit more quality control on all the questions would be helpful. Also, the links to outside references are a bit of a pain. The real exam provides references, it would be nice if this did too. It would also be nice if the programs didn’t keep trying to sell you additional material. This stuff isn’t cheap, there shouldn’t be commercials.
Hi Casey,
Thanks for your feedback. A quiz software that is similar to the real exam is a custom coded software that costs tens of thousands of dollars to create and thousands of dollars to maintain each month. Even with all the resources that NCARB has, their software constantly crashes and people typically complain about how the integrated materials were impossible to download or were simply illegible That’s why I think opening attachments on separate pages is much more effective. If I had created a similar software to NCARB, I could never make my questions available at this affordable rates. As you know many test providers charge $$$/ month where I still offer one time payment for my question bundles. Because I know most of the architects don’t make enough money and they suffer each month to pay for the pricey materials. But they have to because they are desperate. I rather focus on the content than the packaging because I don’t want to create another expensive monthly subscription product for the already financially struggling architectural workers.
My website doesn’t have any commercials, so I am not sure what you mean by that. If you are referring to the books I recommend in the feedbacks, those are not written by me. I don’t get revenue from their sales. I simply give my recommendations because that is what I genuinely believe you need to study to pass these exams. But it is up to test takers to make that decision to whether buy them or not. So, it is just a suggestion.
