Preparing for PS and PA specific exam
Hi everyone. I’ve been looking for good advice on what materials to utilize in order to pass the PS exam as well as the PA specific licensing exam.
I found some good information on this forum already, but I wanted to get feedback on the list of books I plan to purchase to see if anyone who’d been through this (especially more recently) can give me some more advice.
PS EXAM
I was looking to get the ‘Principles and Practice of Surveying Practice Bundle‘ PLUS the ‘Surveyor Reference Manual‘ from the PPI2PASS website. I had used the Surveyors Reference Manual to pass the FS exam in 2017, but I gifted it to a former colleague.
I figure that would cover the surveying core of the PS test.
As for the legal books, that’s where I’m not sure. I have seen quite a few different recommendations on the forum, but I have a hard time figuring out which book would be the best choice. Do I perhaps need more than one?
PA specific exam
I was planning to get ??Boundary Retracement Principles? by Knud Hermansen as it was recommended to me by my boss and I have seen it recommended on here.
As for the drainage part, I am not sure what book would best serve me. I have had no prior education on this since I got my survey-specific bachelor’s in Croatia and it wasn’t on the list of supplementary classes I took in order to qualify for sitting on the FS exam.
I would like to use this unexpected “free time” (being temporarily laid off) to start preparing for taking the tests late next year.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you!
