Realistic Problems for Exam-Like Preparation
FUNDAMENTALS OF SURVEYING PRACTICE EXAM
Fourth Edition

Fundamentals of Surveying Practice Exam includes 110 multiple-choice problems consistent with the two sessions of the NCEES computer-based fundamentals of surveying (FS) exam’s scope of topics and level of difficulty. Like on the actual exam, an average of 3 minutes is required to solve each problem in this book. Comprehensive step-by-step solutions illustrate efficient problem-solving approaches and link common situations in current surveying practice to background information and history.

Taking the practice exam under the same constraints as the FS exam will enhance your time-management skills and prepare you to use the NCEES supplied reference handbook. Then, you can easily evaluate your performance and identify areas for further review.

• familiarize yourself with the exam scope
