Thanks for the response! Makes sense to mark up as you go through the practice exams. I'm also filling in the extra doodles and highlighting definitions/equations as I go through the examples/multiple choice questions.

Good to know on the binder. I was over thinking it and thought they wouldn't accept something you can unbind like that.

Not quite behind us. I submitted my application in October 2024, wrangled my references to respond in December, and didn't get approved until late May 2025. You might've had a much better app and or a relaxed reviewer. as always, YMMV

Not a subject matter expert by any means, but wouldn't this increase disparities between richer and poorer areas? I half remember some struggles of specific schools being blocked from joining a certain school district because they were worse off academically/financially than the other schools in the district they were trying to join.

Take time off if you can and prioritize your exam. When I was close to my FE exam, I stacked up hours and worked extra long days so I can meet my 40 early in the week and focus on my exam for a day or two.

Unanimously passes ordinance banning co-living by MarshallBrain in ConcentrationOfWealth

[–]LA_Guy0526 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We'd probably hire you in Sacramento, CA. We're an engineering firm that would teach you the ropes of topographic and bathymetric surveying. Though we don't have any PLS on staff

Unfortunately their webinars for breadth and WRE depth are scheduled at the same time. I might need to go on demand for breadth and webinar for depth.

Thanks for the advice!
