Pass the ARE. We guarantee it.

We’re putting our money where our mouth is.

For the first time ever, Black Spectacles is guaranteeing if you use our Expert membership to the fullest, you’ll pass the ARE! We analyzed, researched, and measured performance from existing users and have settled on what work you as a candidate have to put in to ensure you’ll pass the ARE. If you do all of this, and you don’t pass, we’ll call NCARB and give you a seat credit to use towards your retake, because we still have faith in you.

Do you want to start the year out with a guaranteed victory? To be eligible, you must have access to our Expert membership and fulfill the following:
