Thank you for the clarification. 

Thank you for your reply and thank you for clearing up the doubt in my mind.... CEs can "locate" PLs/ROW/easement... perhaps one question on the test :)

Thank you ptatohed... very much appreciated. I will study the USPLSS as you suggested. Mansour's book covers that aspect quite well in my opinion. Just for my information, where in the test specs do they say that US PLSS is required knowledge? In fact, as CEs after 1992, we are not allowed to...

I have Mansour's book on Civil Surveying and borrowed Cuomo's book so that I get to work out some more problems. I saw that Cuomo's book had a chapter dedicated to Astronomical Observations which wasn't dealt in Mansour's book. I also saw Cuomo's book deal extensively with the California...

I am looking to purchase an used copy of Reza Mahallati's surveying workbook. Please let me know if you have one to sell. Thank you.

In my experience, I seem to gain speed when I solve practice tests after I have studied the material and practiced solving some problems. So, I need both... workbook to solve problems and mock tests for practice. If you are happy with your knowledge of the basic stuff, then go with the practice...

I saw that you ended the bid. Are you planning to relist it again? Thank you.

Thank you ptatohed.

From what I have read, bound referenced materials are allowed in the testing area. My questions are as follows: 1. Can I bring in a 3-ring binder (a file containing 3 hole punched papers) with reference material inside it? From what I have read, it appears to be allowed but I am confused. It...

Thank you automatic for doing the leg work here. Total compensation for the CEO is perhaps better than most mid sized engineering companies, at least from what I know. I wish he did a better job of working with the members who pay their dues that pays his salary. 

CAPLS, Thank you for your thoughtful reply to JIJIR. I see your point now. I think getting help to understand a topic and to pass an exam is basic to most of us students, and sometimes we got to pay for it. Again, I would prefer a national board and not state specific boards with their own laws...

I understand your grief and can sympathize with you. I moved to CA recently and am trying to prepare for these two subjects. I have taken and passed the PE over 18 years ago, so it is not an easy matter for me. I have worked in transportation early in my career, so I can remember some fragments...

Others including myself have noticed the similar/same problems. Someone suggested that the two may have been working together at the beginning and then split into two organizations. I believe that these problems are old exam problems that these people got their hands on somehow. Hence, they are...

It goes to show how out of touch with reality these people are. I also spoke with the support staff and they are completely devoid of any empathy. I just feel that it is a big bureaucracy that is out of control and needs to be reigned in.

Thank you automatic... perhaps they need some prodding to see the members' point of view and not just how it helps their bureaucracy. 

I think NCEES has done a terrible job communicating the correct procedures for updating the records. Why should we even have to "link"? Shouldn't it be automatic if we have an account already? I have been with NCEES for 16 years now and a couple of companies I worked for have closed or changed...

Thank you jijir83. I think your friend is correct or those problems are actual test problems that were "smuggled" out and distributed. Just wearing the tin foil hat for a moment... I have a coworker who mentioned that he was surprised by the amount of legal type of questions he got too when he...

I recently moved to CA and need to take the seismic and the surveying tests. It has been a long time since I have passed my national PE and my studying skills are rusty at best. I did purchase Dr. Mansour's and Reza's surveying text/workbook from ebay along with Boniface's 2 practice exams. I...
