Ok, I just took the surveying the second time. The first time was a shocker to me as I did not expect to fail. I had to guess on 6-7 questions with 5 min left at the end.
This time, I went through the CPESR workbook more deeply, switch to TI-89 and had some timed practice exams. On the exam, I made sure to double check the calculation each time I used a fomula and read the question again at the end to make sure the answer I got is exactly what the question is asking for (especially when it comes to Northing/Easting, bearing, distance/angles/elevations). I guessed on only 1 question (long calculation-no return), flagged three (long calculation), were 50/50 on 2-3 questions (conceptual). Got left with 20 min at the end; calcualted and answered all those three flagged with confidence. I am saying this time the exam was easier too as I did not see very challenging questions except a few situational survey type questions (Route, Topo, etc.)
I'll share the results when it's out.
