I had my hours submitted just prior to the 6 month rolling clock rule... and then barely finished the AREs under the 4.0 tests before they forced everyone into 5.0... But in the end, licensed at 36, my goal was 30... but life got in the way. Took me just about 12 months to pass all the 4.0 exams.
44. After 7 years doing an entirely different profession and 7 years of being a stay-at-home mom. Gave myself one year to take all exams while youngest was in preschool (passed all) and then I began working in this field again once that kid was scooted off to kindergarten.
One of my colleagues did them all in 3 months. He was cray-cray.
23. Graduated from my 5-year B.ARCH program with about 3,000 hours of experience (I have been interning at various firms since the summer of my second year). Took a few months to become acclimated to working full-time before studying, then passed all my exams within 3 months. I wanted to get this process out of the way before my life became complicated with starting a family. Looking back on it, I believe this is one of the best decisions I've made.
I was lazy and didn't get licensed until I was 38. Doing the first 10 years of your career doing only conceptual and schematic deign will do that to you.
I had planned to finish during the year of 29-30. Just turned 30 and delayed due to both parents passing separately over the last year. Getting back on track now to do before 31 is the plan...
At what age were you licensed?
