    Guys & Gals: I have taken the test (3) times, LSI and have come close but no cigar. I have been working in the field for 14 years! I have been nick-named by sevral professionals as a hound-dog, bulldog, treasure hunter & a cowboy! I never leave a stone unturned. But when I sit in that room, its like everything has been sucked out of my head and nothing makes sense. Several say well you are just not a good test taker. Well passing the test is the only way I will be licensned. No grandfather clause or honorary licenses have been issued. I sit for the test in October again, but I am feeling lost. Any help would be deeply appreciated!

      I've always been considered a good test taker, so maybe a few of my tips could help, though I am not licensed.

      -Don't spend too much time on one question, move on and come back later to tough ones. Sometimes when you get through the others, one or two of the others will spark a memory for the tougher ones you left behind.
      -Find out your weaknesses and study up on them, you may be a great surveyor, but like you said, you forget things and if you pound them in, they may stick.
      -Get all of the recommended books and pour over them like a Bible, not only will this help your weak points, but will sharpen your strong points as well ... I'm pretty sure it's open book too, correct?
      -Get a study pal, it helps to bounce things off of other people. If you speak them and hear them spoken, you may be able to remember them better.

How to Utilize Surveyor Forums

How to use Forums
Our forums on Land Surveyors United are here to be used as much for finding help with problems in the field as the are for you to express your opinions on anything that has to do with land surveying in general. Feel free to share anything that is on your mind, as long as it isn't meant to damage another member's reputation. Please keep it clean and help insure that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of being part of a community that grows together.

We are committed to allowing freedom of expression for all of our members, and that includes maintaining a safe space for people with opposing views to express themselves. We get posts from all over the country and even the globe, so needless to say, people come with different viewpoints on lad surveying practices and processes. We see this diversity and variety as a real strength-- dialogue and debate are an integral part of the educational process, as well as an important tool in exploring different sides of complex issues.

All Community Hubs inside the community have their own forum for asking specific questions to other surveyors, by location, equipment type, etc.
