The curve stuff is more for the FS exam. I found the PS was not very heavy on the math. I took it a few years ago though, and I believe they changed some things. Is it computerized now? Is that the FS? Open book?

Yea, so it might be different from what I remember. When I took it they were both paper tests, and the PS was open book. FS was closed book except for the manual they gave you.

Here in PR you can take both exams (in any order) after graduating from a BSc program in Surveying (you still need to complete a period of 2 years of experience before obtaining the license). Have known of people passing the PS but not the FS and vice versa. For me, I found it easier and more to the point unlike the FS, which is more general (can even contain PS questions in it), and more math intensive with much less time given to you. But it's all relative, that's for sure...
