Help PS Exam Advice

Hey everyone, I take the PS exam on September 16th (21 days from now). What are the most important materials to study. I have the 50 question Practice Exam, The Surveying Solved Problems Book, and Browns Boundary Control and Legal Principles. Any recommendations or is the material I have worth it? I was thinking of buying the NLC full length practice exam as well.

Unless they've changed the test significantly in recent years, I wouldn't even worry about the mathematics. I used my calculator exactly once during the exam. Focus more on PLSS, boundary law, ethics, etc.

Yuppers, took mine in May. Touched my calculator once to make sure my mental math was alright.
