AR Features In Our Book
These features enhance the learning experience and memory recognition.
Readers need a mobile device (iOS or Android)—a phone or tablet—to view the AR content. In addition, they must install the free TotalAR app. (Instructions for downloading the app are available in the book.)
Using this app, readers can scan predefined images and special codes while reading the book to perform different types of activities:
- Flash Cards – Each chapter contains a flash cards target. When the target is scanned, readers will be able to view flash cards associated with that chapter in order to learn terminology and prepare better for the exam.
- Quizzes – A quiz target also appears in each chapter. When that target is scanned, readers can take a quiz associated with that chapter to test their knowledge of the material.
- Errata List – When a predefined target is scanned, readers can see the latest errata list.
When you purchase the book, you will have one year of complimentary access to the above AR features. However, there is also premium paid AR content listed below, which is available via monthly subscription at an additional cost:
- Video Lectures – Each chapter contains a video lecture, available through monthly subscriptions. When a target is scanned, readers can view videos where a subject matter expert (SME) explains the chapter content. This should help readers understand the content quicker.
- Ask an Expert – When this target is scanned and a monthly subscription is purchased, the reader will be able to send questions to a relevant subject matter expert to clarify information via email.
- Tutoring – Scanning these targets and purchasing a tutoring package will allow readers to interact one on one with a tutor, who is also an SME, to learn the material with live interaction.
Everything You Should Know About the FS Exam
The FS exam is generally the first step in becoming a licensed professional surveyor. It is designed for recent surveying graduates and is required before moving onto the PS exam.
Prerequisites
Before you are allowed to take the FS exam, you will need to meet several requirements specified by NCEES. Because states’ requirements all vary, we suggest checking with your state board.
Exam Fees
A fee of $175 will be due to NCEES before you can sit for the FS exam. Because every state may have different registration procedures, we suggest you check with your state’s licensing board in case there are separate applications or fees required to register.
Exam Day
This exam is 6 hours long, computer-based, and includes 110 questions. On the day of the exam, you will be given a virtual version of the NCEES FS Reference Handbook . You will also have access to a digital calculator and onscreen whiteboard. A free copy of this handbook is available for download through your MyNCEES account. You can also download the free NCEES Examinee Guide to learn more about what to expect on the day of the FS exam.
After the Exam
CBT exam results are typically available 7 to 10 days after you take the FS exam. NCEES will send you an email with instructions on how to view and understand your exam review results through your NCEES account. If you are curious to learn more about this process, please click here.
