Summary: Good book, but not very difficult
Rating: 4
Having taken the exam several times, I have an idea about how the problems on the exam look. This is a good book for learning the concepts, but the problems on the exam are more difficult and trickier. Expect to see all kinds of live loads for warehouses or partition loads in the seismic load and factors from load combinations as well as problems with non-building structures and mechanical equipment. The book covers these subjects but not very thoroughly.
