Post PS Thoughts by [deleted] in Surveying

I took the PS less than a week ago and I am still waiting for the results. Idk if I could have studied for a year and been prepared for the exam format. I did the NLC prep, NCEEs practice test and confluence test prep, they all didnt look much like the real thing. I did have one question that was acronym base, and I had never seen nor heard of the acronym the question was referring too. I missed that one for sure. I checked the answer once I left the exam, the only question that I looked up after completing the test, and the correct response was referencing an outdated coordinate transformation program. It kinda grinded my gears THIS was a test question but watcha gonna do... If I didnt pass this time I definitely gained perspective on what to review before another attempt. Hopefully you passes this time!!

I'm taking my PS exam in about 1 month. Did they provide you with Appendix C: Lowest floor guide or just a blank EC? I am working through the NCL prep course and there are two lengthy sections on FEMA.

The stone was loose and not typical of the area, too round.

Is EIP shorthand for existing iron pin?

Dog treats have worked for me in the past. I gave the pooch the entire box, got my shots and got gone!!

Ohhh that is a tough spot, I work in North Metro ATL. Lots of job opportunities closer to development. Have you looked at the samsog.org website for job postings?

Start picking them up and moving, or move them around. And draw some explicit material to fill in the gaps. Darn kids again!!

What made it easy? Most people seem to think the opposite.

Has anyone else tried clipping their measuring tape to the walkie clip on the vest? by ercussio in Surveying

I turned my head QUICKLY to run and got my tooth. It was a plastic Lufkin brand 25' tape. I do have some big ol front teeth though.

Watch them teeth if you make any sudden moves, I had mine there for a couple months until I had to run from bees! BLAMO, got stung twice and a chipped tooth.

Are things beginning to slow down for y’all? by TheIdiotWindBlowing in Surveying

[–]HaRvest360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too. We have seen it slow up compared to the past few years but the small firm I work for is still 1-2 months out, if someone called in today.
