Its not acceptable to eliminate a resource that architects have used for ages when brainstorming and working out solutions. NCARB should reconsider this idea.

It's ridiculous and frustrating. Studying for the ARE is already stressful enough. They are making if more difficult.

We refuse to have our testing experience further
compromised by the heavy handed changes of the tone deaf, disconnected, bloated bureaucracy of NCARB.
Do the right thing for once, and listen to the people who actually have to take these exams.

Architects are visual thinkers, and are trained using the physical tools of pencil and paper. White boards do not replace our essential tools. Do not take the tools of architects away

Architects are visual people and need the ability to sketch and draw to think out complex questions on the AREs.

Making an already difficult exam even more difficult is counter-intuitive to both the profession and the individuals striving to obtain their licenses.

Removing the ability to sketch or write by hand to solve problems is in not representative of the real world profession of architecture.

I get that we're a generation of tech kids, but in an industry that values hand-sketching this much, this change is illogical.

Yet another complication in an already time sensitive set of exams. Architects are trained to use paper and pencil/pen. This is not a helpful change at all. Do not do it.

This petition plus add 30-60 min to each exam.
Limitation on timing is not right

I'd rather get charged the extra 10 cents for the paper. Being a completely digital architect is not good for the profession or industry. This is one more step towards automation of a creative field.
