ARE Candidates should be aware of the following message issued by NCARB regarding ARE security measures:

“To ensure the integrity of the ARE, specific security measures are enforced prior to and during your exam administration. As an addition to NCARB’s and PSI’s security policy, candidates testing in person must now be scanned with a hand-held metal detector wand as part of their test center security screening. PSI has implemented this new security measure for all candidates testing at their test centers. Candidates refusing to be scanned may not be permitted to test.

Review the full security screening policy on page 22 of the ARE 5.0 Guidelines.”
