NCARB Study Materials for the ARE's

In case I haven't already made myself clear about how valuable the study materials are that are provided by NCARB, let me say so again specifically here!  Find these resources here (so long as NCARB doesn't reorganize their website by the time you click on that!).

What I also wanted to point out in this post pertains specifically to the Construction Documents & Services exam.  There are sample AIA documents available for download to study in preparation for the exam.  The conditions for downloading these documents are 1.) that you have an NCARB record established and 2.) that you have received your Authorization to Test.  You obtain the AIA documents by logging into your NCARB record and clicking on a link at the bottom of the left-hand column.  It says:

New!  ARE Candidates:  Construction Documents & Services Resources From AIA.

Clicking on the link takes you to a screen where you must enter your ATT number.  Upon successful login you will have access to the following documents:

A101-2007
A201-2007
A305-1986
A701-1997
B101-2007 ExA
B101-2007
C401-2007
G701-2001
G702-1992
G703-1992
G704-2000

I am finding a lot of reference to AIA document B141, which as you can see is not on the list above. Therefore, I will have to find some other means to obtain an untainted copy of this document.
