What are the best practice exams to get to pass the CA Surveying exam (most similar practice exams)

[ThePEmaster]

@WaitingForThatPE Did you pass seismic? how many did you feel you knew on that? my feeling is right above lol

I passed Seismic last month. I did really well on it comparing to the Survey. I knew I passed the Seismic when I walked away from the exam.  There was no regret, since I crushed all the questions except one or two.

 

[ThePEmaster]

Wow its weird how I feel not as good as everyone who took EET. I know you need roughly 33 right to pass... I just can't see how if I felt great on half the exam how I would not pass. @WaitingForThatPE @engineeringforfun

What books or courses did you use/take for seismic?   Thank you

@vip-engI took Hiner's course and he provided practice exams, I practiced twice and did all the practice problems in the workbook. Did you pass survey? how did you do?

@engineeringforfun You were right! I passed the Survey exam. I was so nervous.

Congrats!! You're all done now right? 

 

[WithThatPE]

Yes, All done.

How soon after passing exam did you get your license number, physical copy and name showing up on the lookup?

Awesome. I got my number about a week after I found out I passed (I just happened to fall within that licensing cycle). Physical copy showed up a couple weeks later?

I found that CPESR had the best practice tests (in my opinion), but the class itself I found to be pretty useless. I thought Reza had the best manual, with very good practice problems. EET had some decent practice exams as well, but the book seemed overwhelming and the class might be overkill (didn't watch any lectures, just bought the class for the exams).

I took the CPESR class the first time I took the exam and failed. The second time I used Reza's manual and EET's practice exams and passed.

Did you feel that the CPESR practice exams were appropriate for the new test plan? I am looking by for as many practice exams as possible

I never took the old test and to be honest I didn't think that the EET or Reza problems (which were by the new test plan) were any different than CPESR. I have a hard time recommending purchasing the CPESR class though because the class itself is fairly useless (in my opinion).

Thanks for your response. I did EET on demand and have Reza’s workbook so now I am just trying to decide if I should purchase CPESR only for the Practice exams.  Thanks again

I wouldn't. I think between the EET practice exams and Reza's problems you will be ok.

No cheat sheets, but Reza has useful equations in the back of the manual that are pretty nice.

EET has a mini summary sheet in the beginning of the workbook. It is a couple of pages.

They have a book/binder that is full of notes. It is formatted as PowerPoint slides and reflects the videos. I think you need to buy their webinar/seminar in order to get it.
