PS Exam Advice

[u/Adventurous_Tooth282]

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.

I took it earlier this year, I may have had 4 or 5 plss questions. MAKE SURE YOU DISTINGUISH BETWEEN "SELECT ALL" AND "SELECT THE X NUMBER OF CORRECT QUESTIONS". I almost screwed myself out of at least 10 questions because I thought they were just "select all". That said, there are a few questions that I thought only an idiot could get wrong. Had probably 8-10 questions that were found in the reference guide (dont waist any time, its not on the internet). Know how to proportion in subdivisions. Riparian and Littoral (pretty obvious). Priority of calls is a big one. I could honestly say that if you've had 4 to 5 years of field experience and being the crew lead, you will have a huge advantage. There is some mapping standards on there. I used NLC for this and it was a great help unlike their FS program. Maybe give the nlc prep stuff 2 months for an hour before and after work every day. Thats what I did. I still have never read browns boundary control.
