My best comments for these calculation question. Remember the equation. So you can filter out unnecessary information.

Does your net multiplier ONLY include profit and overhead? I’m not familiar with net multiplier… obviously I need to study that further.

I know that the black spectacles practice exams don’t allow changing the exam length. I have accommodations for additional time and am wondering what questions would be most important to focus on to get a good understanding of overall performance?

really nail down the terms: net multiplier, profit, break even rate, etc. These are among the most difficult questions on this exam in my opinion.

Can we get the digital “pen” that goes along with the digital “scratch paper” white board, since the mouse is not a pen and when did an architect not need a pencil?

I think you can type in the white board space, you don’t have to like, physically write items out with the digital pen
