What does the ARE Candidate Agreement primarily regulate?

• A. Content of architectural theory.
• B. Scheduling of ARE dates.
• C. Fees and refunds.
• D. Behavior to preserve exam integrity.

Answer: (D)

The main idea is to establish rules that keep the ARE exam fair and secure by governing how you behave during testing. The agreement focuses on your conduct, such as keeping questions confidential, not sharing or recording content, avoiding cheating or unauthorized aids, and complying with testing center procedures. It also covers interactions with proctors, handling of exam materials, and consequences for violations, all designed to preserve the integrity of the testing process. Other topics like the content of architectural theory, scheduling of dates, or fees are not the primary focus of this agreement; those are addressed by separate policies.
