Like the person above said, it wouldn't be comity, it would just be applying for licensure for the first time. Where you took the exam doesn't really matter as far as I know (its the same exam no matter which state you take it in). Some states may have an issue with WHEN you took the exam...

Now they're on 91989, only 9 more than they had 2 weeks ago. This makes me think they still have a full "batch" which might get processed soon. Hopefully it doesn't take til 11/20/20.

For the surveying, I can't really make a recommendation. I used the PPI book (Cole) but I also had some background experience. Would not recommend the PPI book. I still passed the first try but the book seemed unfinished and I had to go to youtube to flesh out a lot of the concepts. Luckily...

I wouldn't bother trying to use the DMS function. Just do the math each time. Once you have it committed to muscle memory its faster than fiddling with calculator menus. For instance if you want to convert 41°29'58" to decimal, type: 41+29/60+58/3600=41.4994. Or if you want to convert 41.4994...

Ugh I passed both tests but I'm still not on there. Did you all get a congratulatory email or anything?

Hopefully we will see license numbers on the website this Friday.

Also check out Simmy Sigma on youtube if you are having trouble with the horizontal/vertical/compound curves. He was a godsend for me. https://www.youtube.com/c/SimmySigma/videos

How did you do on the EET/CPESR practice tests? Also did you already pass seismic?

No they are still holding them in person at Prometric testing centers. The only thing that has changed because of the pandemic is that the 3rd and 4th quarters have been combined into a single, 6-month testing period.

I'll hope for Oct 12, but I wouldn't bet on anything sooner than Oct 19.

1. Mid August. 2. I think 55%-65% for surveying, depending on the quarter. 3. Take the seismic before December. The results always come mid-month after you take the exam. So if you take the exam in December, you won't get your results back until mid January. This means if you fail, you...

Thats super weird. I always figured the surveying and seismic tests were just one of many "modules" that prometric could run as long as they have a computer open. Its strange that they would have different openings.

Good point. I didn't read it that way but you might be right. Maybe CAPLS could clarify?

From the prometric website:  * Due to the temporary closure of the exam sites in parts of Quarter 1 and Quarter 2 as a result of Covid-19, a one-time modification is being made to the testing availability for the remainder of 2020. Quarters 3 and 4 will be merged into one six-month window to...
