Frequently asked questions

Arkitekto is a free online reviewer for the Philippine Architect Licensure Examination (ALE). It gives you practice questions, timed mock exams, spaced repetition review, and progress tracking that shows which subjects still need the work.

Arkitekto is for architecture graduates and students preparing to take the Architect Licensure Examination (ALE) administered by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) and the Professional Regulatory Board of Architecture (PRBOA) in the Philippines.

Yes, Arkitekto is completely free to use. You get unlimited access to all 9,000+ practice questions, mock exams, spaced repetition review, progress tracking, and all other features at no cost.

Over 9,000, covering every topic area in the Architect Licensure Examination: history, theory, and professional practice; structural design, building materials, and utilities; and architectural design and site planning. All of them are free, with no daily limits.

We cover all three official ALE subjects as outlined in the PRBoA syllabus: (1) History & Theory of Architecture, Principles of Planning & Architectural Practice (30%); (2) Structural Design, Building Materials & Methods of Construction, and Utilities (30%); and (3) Architectural Design & Site Planning (40%). Our practice questions span every topic area within these subjects, including architectural laws and professional ethics.

They're written from the official PRBOA syllabus and aim at the same topics and difficulty as the real thing. They are not past exam papers, and nobody can legitimately sell you those. What we can do is make sure no topic on the syllabus is one you've never practiced.

Timed sessions, randomized questions, and scoring that follows the real exam's format. Afterwards you get a breakdown by subject area, which is usually more useful than the total score.

Spaced Review uses the SM-2 (SuperMemo 2) algorithm, the same spaced repetition method behind apps like Anki. Answer a question correctly and it gets pushed further out: 1 day, then 6 days, then progressively longer intervals. Get it wrong and it returns the next day with the interval reset. The effect is that your review time drifts toward the questions you keep missing.

We're working through every question and answer one at a time to verify them. Until that's finished, some will still have errors, and we'd rather say so than pretend otherwise. If you find one, hit the Report button on the question. Those reports are how most of the fixes get found.

Yes. You get study streaks, performance analytics, subject mastery levels, and achievement badges, so you can see both what you've covered and where your scores are still soft.
