Harry graduates from an architectural program that is not accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB). He completes an internship by the time he graduates as well, and he mentors with a professional architect. Unfortunately, when he takes the Architect Registration Examination (ARE), he fails. His performance on the ARE shows he lacks fundamental knowledge in several key areas. Without passing the ARE, Harry cannot proceed to licensure, which he needs to become a professional architect. What could Harry have done that would have done the most to ensure he passed the ARE? Choose a better professional organization than the one where he interned where he would have picked up better experience.

Choose a better professional mentor who could have highlighted the areas where Harry’s knowledge was lacking.
