2010 LARE Exam Dates
(updated December 8, 2009)
The Landscape Architect Registration Examination (L.A.R.E.) is designed to determine whether applicants for landscape architectural licensure possess sufficient knowledge, skills and abilities to provide landscape architectural services without endangering the health, safety and welfare of the public.
The L.A.R.E. is exactly the same in every jurisdiction. The same exam is administered on the same days and under the same conditions in every jurisdiction (including the United States and Canada), and all exams are uniformly graded by the Council of Landscape Architectural Boards (CLARB). The L.A.R.E. consists of five sections: two graphic and three multiple-choice. Each section receives a pass or fail score independently from the other sections. All five sections must be passed prior to licensure. The graphic sections of the exam are administered by state and provincial registration boards or by CLARB at CLARB Test Centers. The multiple-choice sections of the exam are administered by CLARB using a national system of computer testing centers.
It is important for applicants to contact the registration board in the state or province in which they wish to take the test to determine specific information about schedule, locations and application deadlines.
The dates for the administration of the graphic sections of the L.A.R.E. (Sections C and E) are as follows:

June 7-8, 2010 - Sections C & E
December 13-14, 2010 - Sections C & E
