I took it on the computer (not PSI), so I can't speak definitively, but it was open book when I took it. That being said, you really either know it or don't, not sure an open book is necessarily helpful. If you don't have it yet, buy Farris Cadle's book "Georgia Land Surveying History and Law". It is a must read and I still use it as a reference when encountering difficult boundary questions situations. I would also make dang sure you are clear on the Riparian Rights in Georgia from his book. It WILL be on the test.

Good luck!]]> Tue, 30 May 2023 16:35:58 GMT https://www.samsog.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1740195 https://www.samsog.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1740195 Mon, 5 Jun 2023 20:27:34 GMT https://www.samsog.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1742972 https://www.samsog.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1742972 Quote:

I just took the test last month. The legal aspects and history is no longer open book. Only the hydrology part is open book. The testing center is similar to the other testing center, except you need two forms of ID and you'll keep anything you can't use on you person in a locked bag rather then a locker. I printed off their test rubric and went over each section of the state code and board rules. I also read over Farris Cadle's book again as a refresher. The questions were more straight forward than the PS test. I think I studied roughly a month or two prior taking the test.

Thanks for clarifying. I'm going to take it in a couple weeks. I hope they are not asking a lots of history related questions and expect to remember dates etc. Hope is going to be more practical and on questions that are really important to practice this dying trade. ]]> Thu, 22 Jun 2023 01:48:34 GMT https://www.samsog.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1775947 https://www.samsog.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1775947 Sat, 13 Apr 2024 14:13:37 GMT https://www.samsog.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1777485 https://www.samsog.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1777485
I'm not sure if you're trying to contact a specific individual at the board but Mr. Elmo Richardson retired a couple of months ago. You probably want to be trying to contact Darren Mickler. His contact info is below.

Hope this helps.
