Looks like it was a very good year to be taking (and especially re-taking!) HVAC, as opposed to the other PE Mechanical sub-categories...

 
Why do you think Civil: Construction is so much lower than the other Civil topics? I took switched and took construction this time and passed.

 
people in construction field work long hours and long driving time leads to less time for preparation too. My thoughts.

I think a lot of people take construction if they do general engineering work.  The problem with construction, and why I didn't take it, is because with a lot of the questions you either know the answer or don't.  With the other concentrations, if you understand the concept you can often work out the solution.
