I took the online course by civilpesurveyingreview.com. I didn't feel it covered all the information in the exam but it was sufficient to pass the exam. It helped me speed up my problem solving skills and the practice exam were very helpful. The booklet doesn't have a lot of detail but there is...

I always felt that the material was overwhelming during my previous failures. But this time during my studying I realized that there are only a finite type of problems that they can ask. I studied this time more than any other time. I followed Hiner's recommendation by solving all the problems...

Sign me up. I'm taking the exam in April. I didn't pass it in October so I could use all the help I can get to solve the problems faster. :brickwall:
