I’ve created these questions based on the 2018 AIA Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct, which you can find for free here. This is a very short, easy to read document, but very important to professional practice.
Question 01
Which Ethical Standards fall under Canon VI: Obligations to the Environment?
- Alternative energy sources
- Building materials
- Indoor Air Quality
- None of the Above
Question 02
Penalties imposed by the National Ethics Council include: (Select all that apply)
- Censure, with appeal
- Admonition, with appeal
- Litigation, with appeal
- Suspension of membership, with appeal
- Termination of membership, without appeal
Question 03
An architect wants to file a claim against another architect using Rule 4.101 of the Code of Ethics. What actions must they take?
- Consult their legal counsel
- Ensure proof of violation of one other rule
- Consult their insurance company
- Ensure proof of fraud based on an independent finding of a violation of the law
Question 04
What Canon does this statement fall within:
Members shall continually seek to raise the standards of aesthetic excellence, architectural education, research, training, and practice.
- Canon II: Obligations to the Public
- Canon I: General Obligations
- Canon V: Obligations to Colleagues
- Canon IV: Obligations to the Profession
Question 01
Which Ethical Standard fall under Canon VI: Obligations to the Environment?
- Building materials
All other answers are not ethical standards under Canon VI: Obligations to the Environment.
Question 02
Penalties imposed by the National Ethics Council include: (Select all that apply)
- Censure, with appeal
- Admonition, with appeal
- Suspension of membership, with appeal
Litigation is not a penalty imposed by the Natinoal Ethics Council. All penalties allow for appeal procedures, so “Termination of membership, without appeal” is incorrect.
Question 03
An architect wants to file a claim against another architect using Rule 4.101 of the Code of Ethics. What actions must they take?
- Ensure proof of violation of one other rule
Under Canon IV: Obligations to the Profession: “Enforcement of Rule 4.101 refers to and supports enforcement of other Rules. A violation of Rule 4.101 cannot be established without proof of a pertinent violation of at least one other Rule.”
Question 04
What Canon does this statement fall within:
Members shall continually seek to raise the standards of aesthetic excellence, architectural education, research, training, and practice.
- Canon I: General Obligations
I hope you like this mini quiz. Let me know how you did in the comments, or on the RMSM Studio Facebook page. If you’re studying for Practice Management, feel free to check out my other Mini Quiz on the A201 and my post on passing the PcM Exam, and if you’re studying for Construction & Evaluation, check out my Mini Quiz on C401.
If you want to find other great practice tests, you can also have a look at my One Minute Reviews, where I give my feedback on ARE study materials in under a minute.

Under contracts for PcM, you listed more contracts to study for than what the NCARB’s ARE Handbook 5.0 is listing (C401 & B101). From your experience in taking the PcM division, does it test more than the two? (C401 & B101)

Every version of the ARE exam is different from person to person, no one can say exactly what will show up on any specific exam. I will say that references and content across the 3 professional practice exams can be pretty fluid, for example, where do you draw the line in project management to study for PcM vs. PjM? In reality, you have to kind of study for them both. You’ll see in most of my materials I recommend reviewing the Schiff Hardin lectures, which go in-depth into the A201 and B101, which I think are valuable to know in terms of the architect/owner/contractor roles and responsibilities within the project.
