Welcome to the forum.

I suggest going to the NCEES website and purchasing the Land Survey Review Manual with practice questions.

@kevin-hines thank you so much for your prompt reply, i found you one of the most responsive and helpful Surveyor in this great community.

i did already get the NCEES practice questions but i still believe that i need more resource and some kind of additional courses or books to be well prepared for the exam.

but what is the Land Survey Review Manual? i can't find it in the NCEES website.

any more advices would be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance

I attempted to send this last night, but the site was down for maintenance.

The Land Survey Review Manual by Buckner is expensive. The other two are very affordable.

Keep in mind, the members on this forum can and will clarify an issue if you ask. Just make sure to follow the rules of the forum and accept the explanations and advice with an open mind. There is always more than one way to skin a cat... Good Luck.
