Sec 2 - CLARB's recommended references

[Catherine MB]

Hi everyone! I've been focused on the books in the CLARB's recommended list but, after taking the LAREprep practice exam, I wonder if it's enough. I didn't read about land surveys or programming, and there were questions on that. Anyone has a feel for what is actually tested in Sec 2? Many thanks, and good luck to all!

Actually I know LaGro covers programming, but it's not a topic listed in CLARB's content for Sec 2. Also many of the LAREprep answers came from Steiner & Butler's book, but it's a book listed for Sec 3.

I did it! I took it yesterday. And yes, like the LAREprep exam I took suggested, there are many topics on the test that were not covered by the recommended readings (unless I missed the one paragraph where it was mentioned??) and crossed over in what I would put in Sec 1 and 3. 

If you have time, review Steiner and Butler's Planning and Urban Design Standards, and Landscape Planning by Marsh. I didn't have the latest editions but they were still helpful.
