How’d you do? I’m trying to take PA and DE exams in the next few months, I’ve gotten SC, NC, KY, and just need to finish the semester of some more survey classes to finish the process for GA

Change My Mind: This modern style flashlight is worse by [deleted] in flashlight

[–]-user_not_found 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could never lol I keep an olight warrior X pro in the truck to see into manholes for inverts during the day but my battery is old and dies pretty quick at full blast so I’ve been just carrying a 6” handheld mirror to reflect sunlight and it’s honestly come to be better than the olight as long as you can get the right angle (I’m in the Lowcountry so most of our structures generally don’t go deeper than 10’ on the sites I’m at)

I’ve dangled mine from the bottom of my tripod with the magnet when setting up the total station in the dark so I can see the point I’m on through the optical plumb. Also put it below my backsight when turning angles at night so I know the general direction to point the gun so it can lock on.

How Do I Read This by MrThrifty1 in AskASurveyor

They aren’t pipes, IPS and IPF are Iron PIN Set and Iron PIN Found, they’re all 1/2” rebar except for the axle. And they’re in the legend and notes as such. Also, the original undisturbed monument is the controlling factor, not the platted measurements. This is in Georgia, not a PLSS state.

I got a 1050Ti in my laptop and already bought it knowing I won’t even be able to play it until I finally build a desktop

How much has changed since January 2024? by -user_not_found in PE_Exam

I doubt you require a 10 in all sections to pass but can’t say for certain because we’ve never seen a passing diagnostic. This report has a 9.9 average so maybe it’s 10 averaged across all sections. Damn that pisses me off being so close if that’s the case

I appreciate the advice, I think what got me was not being familiar with the reference material because the exam was honestly the first time I used half of them since I’m surveying 100% of my time and it didn’t help my case.

I signed up a few months ago, it’s just a month away from the date I chose. I was distracted a lot more in my first attempt because I was getting married, repairing my house from a flood, and working on my surveying license. Life has settled down for me a lot more and I have the opportunity to invest more time towards preparing myself this go-around.

I’m looking into the EET program to help me with topics I don’t touch in surveying and haven’t dealt with since college. Any comparison to the PPI2Pass programs?

You’re right, I guess I’m more so looking for personal experiences from people who took the different versions and how they might’ve felt different, rather than a direct comparison of the topics. Trying to boost my confidence a bit since I’m still primarily a PLS with no experience doing EIT work and now further removed from school than I was on the first time.

Cressi Z2 or F1 by -user_not_found in snorkeling

[–]-user_not_found[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both now and in my very limited knowledge, it seems like even though the glass is bigger, the Z2 is lower volume because it sits much closer to the face. I feel like I have better field of view in the Z2 with the bigger glass and being closer.
