ND was available by 1:00ET. Had a friend who took the test there bragging about passing while I wait for SD to retire the carrier pigeon that delivers results

People taking structural are smarter than people taking construction. It's a joke. But might be true. Or people who take the construction depth are more likely to be in a field setting and tend to get more anxious about the exam. Or may not have as much time available to study based on the...
