The problem

Studying for the ARE shouldn't feel like this

01

Existing tools cost hundreds a month

Leading question banks run $150–$250 per month. For a multi-month study plan, that adds up faster than the exam fee itself.

02

Everything is English-only

Technical code language is hard enough in your first language. Most platforms offer zero support for candidates who study in Chinese or Spanish.

03

Static banks repeat themselves

Fixed question sets go stale within weeks. You start recognising answers before you understand the reasoning behind them.

What you get

Everything a real study plan needs

01

Real-time AI question generation

Every question is generated fresh against NCARB's official domain weighting. No recycled bank, no repeated scenarios.

02

Multilingual explanations

Full English, Chinese, and Spanish breakdowns for every question — written for the specific scenario you saw, not a generic answer key.

03

Zero repeats, guaranteed

Over 4,400 unique topic-angle combinations across all six divisions before anything repeats.

04

Built-in study tools

Highlight key passages in five colours, track domain mastery across sessions, and review any past question in full.

Why AI-generated

Static banks can't keep up with how exams actually work

NCARB updates exam content over time. A fixed bank goes stale. Questions here are generated in real time against the same domain weighting NCARB publishes — so every session feels current, and no two study runs look the same.

✓Domain-weighted, not random
✓Fresh scenarios every session
✓Explanations written for your exact question

What candidates say

Early feedback

Jen L. — ARE Candidate, PDD

Replace with real review

"Cheaper than one month of the big-name banks, and I'm using it every day instead of once a week."

David K. — ARE Candidate, PA

FAQ

Questions, answered

No. The free question is a fixed, pre-written question that doesn't touch your credit balance — it's entirely separate from any paid plan.
Yes. All plans are month-to-month with no contract. Cancel from your account settings at any time and keep access through the end of your billing period.
Credits reset each billing cycle and don't carry over. This keeps pricing simple and predictable.
Most question banks pull from a fixed, pre-written set. Questions here are generated in real time against NCARB's published domain weighting, with full multilingual explanations (EN / 中 / ES), so content stays varied and current.
No. KPATH ARE is an independent study tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by NCARB.
