Hello, I started doing the problems on the six-minute problems book (afternoon session for env./water resources). I wondering if the difficulty level for the afternoon session is similar to the six-minute problems?

Six minute solutions and the NCEES review book are very representative of the degree of difficulty on the exam.

Yep.
I can't speak for WR, but the 6MS Transportation afternoon questions were more difficult than the exam. I'd say that if it takes an average of 4 calculations to get your answer on 6MS, then the test was more like 2 calculations. If you're looking for a realistic example of the test, do the NCEES sample exam. It's spot on.

Really? I (and I believe most people from what I read here) find the 6 Min Sols to take way longer than 6 minutes and the NCEES sample problems to be spot on with the actual exam.

I would agree that 6 min solutions was more difficult and that there are multiple steps to the problems ... but anyone of those sub calculations/steps could have been a question on the exam; especially for the depth WR section.
NCEES is definitely the closest; but I would focus on 6 minutes solutions so you understand any of the three/four types of questions they could ask per problem.
