Adding Black Spectacles video lectures…
Adding Black Spectacles video lectures to my ARE study regiment added that extra layer of information and confidence I needed to schedule my exams and obtain my architecture license. Thank you for putting this amazing content together and breaking down the concepts into small digestible pieces. I have and always will recommended Black Spectacles to anyone seeking licensure.

Not worth the money
My company pays for the expert subscription which is supposed to give you access to the virtual workshops, which sounds like the most useful thing about Black Spectacles, but they let you RSVP for it, and once the time comes, you can't log into the zoom meeting...There just isn't an option to launch the course?? I've tried all the different browsers, and customer service just tells me I don't have access to it because of my subscription level. Honestly one of the most useless subscription services out there. If I pass this division it won't be because of Black Spectacles, I can tell you that.

Hi Christina We're sorry to hear you were having trouble with accessing additional services. We'd encourage you to upgrade to our Expert subscription for access to the virtual workshops. In the meantime, please utilize our free practice quizzes in our ARE Community. New questions are added each week. https://community.blackspectacles.com/tags/practice-quiz -Black Spectacles Team

Great ARE study program!
I have been using the Black Spectacles program as one of my primary study tools in preparing for the AREs. So far I've passed four of the exams and I owe a great deal of that success to the BS program and Mike Newman's lectures. Very helpful. Thank you!
