One thing I have learned is that completing each problem, calculations and all, is not necessarily a good gauge of your competency, for PM. The afternoon questions do not explicitly give you a heads up about everything you need to cover and recognize. You can easily go through each problem, answer each question seemingly thoroughly, get reasonable numbers and yet miss what I call 'deal breakers'. Like perfectly designing a special braced frame connection in detail, but you used the actual load instead of the expected brace strength. Something like that exposes you and likely is a big point loss. However, making a lot of calculation errors and maybe not finishing the problem but you state the importance of using the expected brace load is probably going to better demonstrate your competence. This is why I have learned not to trust how I feel after the exam, because you don't know what you don't know.
