PPI Surveyor Reference Manual, 7th Edition – A Complete Reference Manual for the PS and FS Exam

This is a great book has all the math styles and surveyor questions you are going to to need to know for the exam

Amazing. One of my best purchases on Amazon. If you are preparing for FS exam, this is your book. Couldn't have done it without this book.

This book is full of useful info. Each chapter is very detailed and offers several examples of each topic. Great reference for the SIT.

Product arrived when promised in the condition expected. Very clean.

I know many SITs and Texas RPLSs that have used this book, and prior editions, to pass their exams. (Other knowledge and material is required for PLS or RPLS exams)! Find me on Linked in (Darrell Ellis)!

I am currently in school working towards obtaining an SIT and eventually an RPLS.I have only covered 50% of the book at this time but so far here are the things I like about it:1) Allows the students to progress from simpler methodologies to more difficult math topics.2) Shows how problems can be solved and provides all answers.Issues:1) Some topics/ chapters are not covered in the order they should be but if the student takes these suggestions, they will be less confused.Ch.4 (or systems of units) should be covered before Ch 3 (unit conversions)Ch. 9 (rectangular coordinate systems) should be covered before Ch. 8 TrigonometryCh 10(analytical geometry) should be covered right after Ch 2 (basic geometry)Big Issue:Make sure you read ch 15-5, (azimuth) BEFORE you start Ch 14-3 (compass survey) since you will need to know how to calculate azimuths before solving the problems in ch 14. I can't believe the editor didn't catch this one but it confused me until I read ahead and learned how to solve problems in ch14 by doing the work in ch 15.Overall, it's an good and educational book but the editing of chapter order needs to be looked at.I hope the author reads this review since I am truly wanting other future geomaticians like myself to be successful.Thanks!

Hard to find a better resource for studying for the FS and PS Exams. Pricey but what's your time worth?

I was very Happy with my book purchase, and the ease,of the Amazon shopping experience (1st time user ).
