Additional Board Information
Architect Registration Examination (ARE®)
Effective July 1, 2024, Idaho licensure candidates will not be subject to the five-year rolling clock when taking divisions of the Architect Registration Examination® (ARE®). Instead, candidates will test under NCARB’s new policy.
Score Validity Policy
When Idaho adopts the score validity policy, NCARB will reinstate previously expired, eligible ARE 4.0 and ARE 5.0 divisions and remove the rolling clock for unexpired passed ARE 5.0 divisions for Idaho candidates. Divisions passed in ARE 3.1 or earlier versions will remain expired. Note: These changes may take two to three weeks after the policy goes into effect to appear in your NCARB Record. Explore the Score Validity Policy.
When testing in ARE 5.0, you no longer need to apply for rolling clock extensions for any life events, such as the birth or adoption of a child, serious illness or injury, etc.
