I took the test about 2 1/2 weeks ago. I held off putting up my thoughts then because I was sure I failed. Here is what I would have written:

Woah, didn't study enough for that one. I read Kaplan, took Kaplan quizes/exams and a Ballast Exam. Also read through my Archiflash once or twice. I also downloaded all of the stuff on the FTP and read though it. That is the BEST place to spend your time. As I was reading stuff I would do google searches to reserach stuff I didn't understand. The links I visted are below.

My memory tells me that the test was signficantly: man holes, LEEDS, LCCA, historical preservation, basic structures, AIA documents (A and B series). Pretty much everything that has been discussed in this forum.

I feel like I made "educated" guesses on 99% of the questions. A few I knew the answer right out. I "marked" most of them, changed a few answers at the end. I had plenty of time.
