Which of the following is an example of a violation related to sharing ARE content?

• A. Sharing ARE content that others may have shared with you.
• B. Discussing general architectural concepts.
• C. Reading NCARB guidelines aloud.
• D. Logging into the account from a public computer.

Answer: (A)

Sharing ARE content is protected to maintain exam integrity. The example that shows a violation is sharing ARE content that others may have shared with you because distributing someone else’s exam material is prohibited by NCARB policies and undermines fairness for future test-takers. The content is considered confidential, and even receiving it from someone else doesn’t make it okay to pass along.

Discussing general architectural concepts doesn’t involve distributing actual exam material, so it isn’t a sharing violation. Reading NCARB guidelines aloud is allowed since those guidelines are public information. Logging into the account from a public computer isn’t about sharing content; it raises security and privacy concerns, so it isn’t a violation related to sharing ARE content.
