Land Surveyor

New to the surveying world

Posted by Daniel Patterson on August 5, 2017 at 10:07pm in Introduce Yourself to the Community
My name is Daniel Patterson I am a rodman hopefully soon to be iman at Pape Dawson Engineers. I'm looking to get my first level of CST taken care of . Would like to get some guidance and advice on passing the test. I'm hearing different opinions from co workers on the intensity of the test. I have moderate cad experience and have quickly picked up Leica instrument procedures in the short time that I have been employeed so far. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

    I kinda got the feeling from others that level 1 was easy to pass. I get a dollar raise out of it . So that would be nice . I have to pay for it if I don't pass. I'm not in a position to throw money away.

    Study. And take in lots of information to take the test with you. Make sure to have formula cheat sheets to solve any problems and trig. Organize it and I used index tabs to make it easier to navigate to during the test. I passed level 1 without studying. I barely passed level 2 without studying. Had lots of info with me but ran out of time. Definitely going to have to study a lot more for 3rd level and have study guides better organized

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.
