no guarantees, but i'm fairly confident that i passed surveys. i just used Reza, did all of the problems, and worked all of the 120 Solved Surveys problems on the wednesday before the exam. i also had another "cheat sheet" with all of the horizontal curves (which i used a lot on the transportation 8 hr as well). i took my CERM just in case and i think i used it for a couple look up problems. the front cover helped me with converting between rods, chains, etc quickly.

I used Cuomo's and Reza's on my first try. I failed. I tried Reza's on second try and failed again. I studied Mansour's CD's and review book and passed this time. How would you feel passing Civil 8 hrs and seismic on the first try and travel all the way from Arkansas to Los Angeles twice only for surveying exam? I passed surveying this time. What a relief!!!

I highly recommend Hiner's book. It did a fantastic job of preparing me for seismic.Hello,
Can you tell me what you used to prep for the Seismic. I am Civil PE in OK. No experience in Seismic. Any help is appreciated.
thanks,

I wouldn't think so since surveying is not based on a code (unlike steel or concrete). Also, fyi I believe the surveying exam is based on geometry and methodology (not really covered in Cuomo) so feel free to catch up on your law's of sine and cosine, and how to calculate area's, before you go in.I've found a Cuomo book. Does it matter that it is an older version?
thanks!

The one I have is "Surveying and Principles for Civil Engineers (2nd Edition)" by Paul Cuomo.Do you know what the names of the Cuomo or Reza book are? I tried to find it on Amazon, but get very confused. Thank you so much.
