Just took both. Vertical yesterday was brutal. Bridge questions killed me in the AM. Some tricky foundation questions nobody would ever imagine would get asked. Afternoon questions were easier but I still could not finish most of it on time. Steel problem I did not have enough experience designing so I probably failed just on that alone.
Lateral was considerably easier. AM was manageable. Even the bridge questions weren’t bad. The afternoon was not hard, but the problems took too much time. Nobody around me seemed to be able to complete the last remaining building problem. Not because it was hard, just because the other three problems sucked up so much time that you were lucky if you had 30 minutes to do it.
