    I just thought that I'd state that I've finally been accepted to study architecture at the university in my city!! I had to compile a special portfolio, as well as my final exam marks, to be looked at. There were 400 applicants, and I was one of 60 people to be accepted this year - so I'm excited to begin classes in February!:)

    I am in my 2nd year of my Bachelor of Architectural Studies degree which will give me the title of 'Senior Architectural Technologist'.

    Any ideas on the job opportunities and types associated with such a title? I was planning to continute my studies for 2 further years to become a professional Architect, but am thinking "What for?"

    Any of you out there that can help?

    Go the extra two. Right now you are qualified to be a draftsman for the rest of your life unless you can find yourself a subconsultant to work for and learn from

    Passed my LEED exam this morning. Glad that exercise at memorization is finished.

    At my age, memorizing anything is difficult. :)

    I relied mostly on practice exams. Apparently the concepts took hold because the questions on the actual test seemed to be nothing like the ones I had studied.

    I should have spent more time studying LEED Online. I think that's the section of the exam that I did the poorest.

    It just boils down to stuffing as many facts in your head as possible and retrieving them at test time. It was difficult and I was pleasantly surprised when I passed.

    Good luck.

    So nothing I gave you is helping out? Maybe you should solicit someone to take the exam for you?

    :p

    Thanks. And I'm happy because the Mrs. passed as well. That and 3.0 scares the shit out of us.

    What a barrel of suck. I wish I could help but the only people I know in St. Louis are lighting consultants and MEP engineers.
