With the reinstated ARE 4.0 results, over 6,658 credits have been added for ARE 5.0 version learners. Of the 7&ndash;8 years inactive group affected, about 20% have restarted their licensure. The organization says 70 candidates have now completed their exams and that it has benefitted women and candidates from minority backgrounds at a higher rate.&nbsp;</p> <p>NCARB President Jon Baker stated that the new policy emphasizes their commitment to <a href="https://archinect.com/news/article/150319856/tell-us-your-experience-challenges-on-the-path-to-architectural-licensure" target="_blank">removing the barriers to licensure</a> while still upholding exam integrity and increasing equity.</p> <figure><p><a href="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/4b/4b01ba7a930fa31274ee8d3b7c7dbf50.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&amp;enlarge=true&amp;w=1028" target="_blank"><img src="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/4b/4b01ba7a930fa31274ee8d3b7c7dbf50.jpg?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>However, only 52 of the 55 NCARB ju...</p>
