Just wanted to get a feeling for how difficult you thought the PM structures portion of the Oct. '14 exam we just took?

Me the morning seemed very easy, the afternoon, I thought was rough.

What were your thoughts?

If I end up not passing, which is a sinking feeling I am having my fatal flaw was spending too much time on the AM. I figured the PM would need less time since it is what I do.....but it just seemed to fluster me.

 
The Depth portion of the exam was difficult. I'm weak in masonry and timber and unfamiliar with some of the codes (AASHTO for example). If I happen to pass the exam I'm still going to study masonry and timber as I want to be a well rounded engineer. I wouldn't be shocked either way, if I pass or fail.
