The revision also covers new building code references and the retirement of quantitative-fill-in-the-blank (QFIB) items that were announced previously in December.&nbsp;</p> <p>A new set of exam data forensics protocols has been introduced to enhance existing data analysis. NCARB notes this will impact the timing of test scores results being released. Official score reports will now take between seven and ten days to process. Exam security and candidate misconduct policies have been updated as well.</p> <figure><p><a href="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/03/03e347c8f1b4edfef58fa772b05c825e.png?auto=compress%2Cformat&amp;enlarge=true&amp;w=1028" target="_blank"><img src="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/03/03e347c8f1b4edfef58fa772b05c825e.png?auto=compress%2Cformat&amp;enlarge=true&amp;w=514"></a></p><figcaption>Related on Archinect: <a href="https://archinect.com/news/article/150357069/it-takes-over-13-years-to-become-an-architect-according-to-new-ncarb-data" target="_blank">It takes over 13 years to become an architect, according to new NCARB data</a></figcaption></figure><p>Importantly, all code-related items on the ARE 5.0 will now reference the 2021 <a href="https://archinect.com/news/tag/623145/international-code-council" target="_blank">International Code Council</a> (ICC) family of codes and related standards...</p>
