Really great course. Highly recommended to understand the ARE topics on a deeper level. Not just useful for the tests of course, but for real world practice.

Black Spectacles came highly recommended from my peers and their recommendation proved to be more than accurate! In preparing to undertake the ARE's I exclusively used Black Spectacles material for my prep. I have been in the field for over 15 years so I was able to utilize the video lectures and practice exams to prepare for the tests. What I really liked about the practice exams were two-fold. One the accuracy to the tests taken, and two, the feedback and breakdown on the sections where you were deficient. You're able to quickly access the sections where further study was required. I passed all six sections on my first attempt and I believe Black Spectacles played a vital role in making that happen. I highly recommend the use of Black Spectacles to assist you in ARE prep!

Thank your for the practice tests! They were most helpful in the process because I felt the breadth of material tested was well summed up in your practice tests. I will say, however, that I got the same question twice and maybe 3 times (Not the randomized test—in one or two of the original tests, 1-3), which I was not excited about. We pay a lot for this program! Please fix that for future users.

Thank you for your review, Brittany and for the feedback on the practice exam questions. We will look into this occurrence and ensure this is not a widespread issue. Thank you! -Monica
