Is Building System the most difficult ARE division?
For many candidates, BS is the most difficult exam, but somehow I never find it to be very hard.
The key is NOT to be overwhelmed by the sea of information like MEEB,
know what to read and what not to read. Think like an architect, and NOT
like a MEP engineer, you should be able to pass.
Most people suffer from too much information (TMI) and too little time (TLT). It is the epidemic of modern time.
Learn how to cherish you limited time and effort, and still manage to pass under a situation that is NOT ideal.
