1.0 out of 5 stars Not a good reference (Pathetic!), April 18, 2005

I just tooke the Engineering Survey section of the PE Exam two days ago and used this book as a reference. I DEFINITELY would NOT RECOMMEND this book as a reference. It will not help you prepare for the exam and will give you a false impression of how the exam is going to be like. The practice problems that are on the PE are a thousand times harder then what is in this book. If you want to pass the Engineering Survey section this book will not help you at all! The only use I have for this book now is for toilet paper. If Amazon did not require a minimum star rating of 1 star I would have give it zero.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not allowed at the test, false sense of hope, October 27, 2007

This review is from: Civil Surveying Sample Exams for the California Special Civil Engineer Examination, 2nd ed. (Paperback)

The problems in this book are not as difficult as those presented on the exam. The exam's problems are much more tedious.

Also, because this book is bound with staples, it is NOT allowed at the Surveying portion of the California State specific Civil PE exam, a fact I discovered today. If you try to take it in, it will be confiscated. While it may not have actually helped me since the test is actually much harder than this, it was very disappointing to have it taken away moments before the big test.

5.0 out of 5 stars It was good. I enjoyed sample tests., February 7, 2009

I took PE exam. I passed the Civil Survey Exam at once with this book and another material. But this is a sample test. Real exam can be different from this book. This can be one of your study materials for survey.
