These are real pages from the book. The table of contents is the full one: 8 parts and 60 topics.
You're on a practice question: the owner and the contractor disagree, and you have to say which agreement governs. A101? A201? B101? The letters blur together before you finish reading.
It's not that you don't know contracts. Most study guides explain the AIA documents in long paragraphs, one after another, with nothing that shows how they connect.
In this book, the AIA family is one page drawn as a tree: A = owner–contractor, B = owner–architect, C = architect–consultant, G = forms. Under A, the drawing shows A101, the agreement, pulling in A201, the General Conditions, where claims and disputes live.
The same goes for design-bid-build vs. CM at risk, fee methods, occupant load, exit separation and the RFI-to-change-order path: each one has its own page.
You read the question, see the tree in your head and pick the right document without going back to the manual.
The 6-division map, practice management, contracts and delivery, programming and site, the building code, accessibility, envelope, structures and MEP, construction administration and a final review: 64 pages, all illustrated.
Think of it this way:
A case study puts a two-story office in front of you and asks how many exits the second floor needs. The clock is running and the code is one tab away.
In the book you open the page on the 6-step code question and see it drawn: occupancy → construction type → occupant load → exits → width → travel distance, always in the same order.
The same with B101 services by phase, net vs. gross area, the half-diagonal rule, the accessible route and submittals: each one on its own page.
Architect Licensing Exam Illustrated is 8 parts and 60 topics, all drawn, with a final review of look-alike terms, the numbers to have at hand and one project from SD to closeout.
What you see drawn, you don't have to memorize.
The 6 divisions on one map, how exam questions are built, the 6-step code question and the math you actually need.
Firm structures, licensure and the seal, professional conduct, insurance, fee methods, billing rates and the proposal.
The AIA family, design-bid-build, CM at risk vs. advisor, design-build and IPD, stipulated sum vs. GMP, B101 services by phase, ownership of documents and termination.
Programming, net vs. gross area, zoning, variances and rezoning, easements and the survey, contours and slope, sun and wind, stormwater and soils.
Occupancy groups, mixed occupancies, construction types IA to VB, height and area, fire-rated walls, occupant load, number of exits, width, separation and travel distance. You work every code question in the same 6 steps.
Accessible route, ramps and stairs, door clearances, the accessible toilet room, wall sections, roofs and waterproofing, load path, beams, lateral systems and MEP.
Bidding and award, submittals, the RFI-to-change-order path, who signs what, pay applications and retainage, site visits, closeout and post-occupancy evaluation.
How to read a case study, the numbers to have at hand, look-alike terms side by side, one project from SD to closeout and your final week checklist.
At the end of the book: A final review with the numbers to have at hand, look-alike terms side by side and a final week checklist.
Test yourself on each of the 6 divisions with exam-style questions and a short drawn explanation for every answer, so you know what to review before test day.
See the errors candidates make most often, from occupant load math to who signs a change order, each drawn as wrong vs. right so you stop repeating them.

Yes. It doesn't start from zero: it skips what you do every day and goes to what the exam asks the way the exam asks it, like exit separation by half the diagonal, CM at risk vs. CM advisor, or which AIA document governs a claim. It puts what you already do at work in exam order, one topic per page.
From the NCARB® exam guidelines and handbook for the current 6-division exam, the 2021 International Building Code, the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design and the AIA contract documents the exam references. Values are cited by section and edition and explained in our own words. The exam is the same national exam used by every U.S. licensing board, and it tests model codes, not your city's amendments. Check NCARB's website for the latest exam specifications.
