WE HAVE A STUDY GROUP!!!

Indianapolis has recently re-established the ARE study group.  We meet on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month at Lancer + Beebe, LLC‘s office as well as over Zoom.  Please join our Facebook group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/YAFindyAREuSTUDYING/? or contact Tara Murphy for more information.

Our annual schedule for division is tentatively set as such; although we often alter our schedule day-of based on the desires of the group that attends. The divisions of 5.0 are considered comprehensive so studying for a division you have already passed may improve your understanding of topics in other divisions.
