On the test, you can use the Ctrl-F function to search by text (keywords) to find things faster in the PDFs.

Thanks for the video! I am testing tomorrow and it was great to see a mock exam example other than the one NCARB has on its website and was a great refresher to get me in the ARE mindset.

For the first question @26:40 with 1 person per 100 gross for occupant load, why did you divide from 40,000 nsf and not 50,000 gsf?

[@chriscsullivan]

Also, it seems worth noting that the technically correct math follows: 400-50 for the first 50 occupants)/50 (per occupant) = 7, +2 (for the first 50 occupants) = 9, 9/2 ...etc...

Car windshields are laminated glass, like skylights. Glazing 18" from floor in a building and side windows in car are tempered.
