What is NCARB doing to prevent further disclosure of exam content?
Prior to taking any division of the ARE and seeing any questions on the exam, candidates are required to agree to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement. NCARB’s efforts to inform candidates of the consequences of breaking this agreement have included postcards, e-mails, a podcast, and articles in the ARE e-news and Direct Connection. NCARB staff members have spoken at many student and intern events, and warning messages have been posted on the internet. In addition, NCARB is in the process of hiring two full-time staff members to monitor and investigate exam disclosures and copyright violations.
