phenomenal experience!!!

As a working project manager, this program is great because the basics are easy to review or easy to skip. The fundamentals are great and it was exactly what I needed to get through the last hurdles of the test. The best part about this program is learning how the ARE asks questions and the expectations in the answers - no matter how much experience you have, this is invaluable knowledge for the test!

Highly recommend the practice exams. No other study material closely resembles the experience and difficulty of taking the actual exams.

Great product, Great customer service!

I've been using Black Spectacles as part of my study routine for the last several years now. I can honestly say it is the best resource available to pass the ARE! The practice exams are invaluable! I would highly recommend Black Spectacles to anyone serious about passing the ARE!!

It is an awesome method, the only not-so bright-point that I would mention is that in the practice exams the questions are not as deep/complex as the ones you find on the real exams, so you end up filing those too hard. It would be better to add more complexity to the practice exams so you can be really trained for the actual ones.

Black Spectacles saved my career. After not passing the first 2 exams with other study material, I invested in Black Spectacles. The lectures are coordinated with the exams which made it very easy to identify areas needing to be strengthened. But it was the exams that I feel make Black Spectacles rise above their competitors. The exams are practically identical to the ARE and the four exams provided help grow confidence and familiarity with the exam process. Thank you again for supporting me on this journey and coaching me to success.

Black Spectacles is by FAR THE WORST test prep material for these exams. I would venture to say that 80%of the positive feedback on this site is BlackSpectacles manufactured. They monitor their reviews obsessively and love to either respond with passive aggressive lies or outright ban someone from the sites of review sighting falsehoods. Their customer service is highly disrespectful, and derogatory with their feedback. You MADE A BAD PRODUCT. IT HELPS NO ONE! Stop stealing people's money. The only thing they are genius at is marketing. There will be feedback underneath this comment. It will not address that the content of the exams does not align with their materials. It will not say that the CEO is a bully who cares more about his image at the AIA than actually helping his consumers. It will say NOTHING! Because that is what this TRASH is worth. Literally none of the content aligns with the exams. None of it. I only used BS for my exams and failed all of them 4 times before I realized that it wasn't me. I can quote every inch of every study material they have- its all garbage! The staff pretends they're doing you a favor by taking your money to fail. The "constant updates to materials" happens every decade, not as constant as is necessary. The staff on their team are getting fat and lazy off of your money! Please do not buy!
