All graders must be licensed landscape architects with at least five years experience. It is designed to determine whether applicants for landscape architectural licensure possess sufficient knowledge, skills and abilities to provide landscape architectural services without endangering the health, safety and welfare of the public.
The L.A.R.E exam consists of five (5) test sections. Rusti will be grading Section E – Grading, Drainage and Stormwater Management, which is one of two graphic sections.
