Architecture Board Exam 2026: Exam Dates and Deadlines

Looking for another profession? See the complete PRC Board Exam Schedule 2026 — all 88 licensure exams, searchable, with the same filing windows and result targets.

Passing Score for the Licensure Examination for Architects (LEA)

A weighted general average of 70% with no grade lower than 50% in any subject. There is no conditional pass in the law. Source: RA 9266, Sec. 15.

What the exam covers

Three subjects on PRC’s program, over two exam days: History and Theory of Architecture, Principles of Planning and Architectural Practice 30%; Utilities, Structural Conceptualization, Building Materials and Technology 30%; Architectural Design and Site Planning 40% (the all-day design exam on the second day). RA 9266, Sec. 14 lists four subject groups that the Board has reclustered into these three. Source: PRC — January 2026 Program of Examination for Architects.

Requirements to Take the Architecture Board Exam

Under RA 9266 (Architecture Act of 2004), an applicant for the Licensure Examination for Architects (LEA) must:

• be a Filipino citizen, or a foreign citizen qualified under the reciprocity rule in Sec. 27
• be of good moral character
• hold a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from a CHED-recognised school and have at least two years of diversified architectural experience certified by a registered architect — a master’s degree in architecture counts as one year
• have no conviction for a criminal offense involving moral turpitude

Source: RA 9266, Sec. 13. PRC lists the exact documents for each round inside LERIS — typically the transcript of records with the remark “For Board Examination Purposes”, a PSA birth certificate, a PSA marriage certificate when filing under a married name, and the examination fee.

Architecture Board Exam Results 2026: When and Where They Come Out

PRC's target release dates are January 27, 2026 for the Jan 20 & 22, 2026 exam and June 16, 2026 for the Jun 8 & 10, 2026 exam. The Jan 20 & 22, 2026 results were released on January 27, 2026. The Jun 8 & 10, 2026 results were released on June 26, 2026. Targets are printed in the resolution — the actual release can land a few days either side and is announced only by PRC. AyTool does not host exam results or lists of passers; passing rates for every 2026 release are compared on the PRC Board Exam Results 2026 page.

1. prc.gov.ph — the official list of passers and the top 10, posted as a news release on prc.gov.ph and on PRC's official Facebook page.
2. Verification of Rating — your own scores per subject, through LERIS at online.prc.gov.ph once PRC opens the service for that exam.
3. News sites and review centers republish the list within hours; treat anything not on prc.gov.ph as unofficial.

Architecture Board Exam 2027 Schedule: When PRC Publishes It

PRC has not yet released the 2027 schedule. It publishes the whole following-year calendar in one resolution, usually signed in late October and posted on prc.gov.ph in mid-November — the 2026 schedule (Resolution No. 2113, s. 2025) was signed on October 23, 2025 and posted on November 17, 2025 — so the architecture board exam 2027 dates are most likely out in November 2026. Each profession usually keeps the same months from one calendar to the next, so the 2026 rounds above are the working reference until then. This page switches to the official 2027 dates the day PRC publishes them.
