On my drive to work this morning I was wondering:

What are these tests like for other professions? For example, is the CPA exam 8 hours, what's the pass/fail rate, do they get their results quickly? Same with the bar exam. Anyone know? Do their tests have a reputation for being grueling, fair/unfair? Just curious.

can only speak for the architecture exams. I took 4.0 / 7 exams ranging from 3.5h-6h each, computer based, unfair because of the 1990 CAD program you have to use to complete the graphics portion of each exam. it snaps to an invisible grid, so you can't get exact dimensions you want all the time. so they want you to be precise using the least amount of space but you also have to satisfy minimums. MC questions are similar complexity/trixy as PE. as of my testing you heard in a couple weeks whether you passed, though.

I copied this and my responses over to the suck thread. It's more appropriate over there.
