FS Fundamentals of Surveying Reference Handbook 2.0

Description

The Fundamentals of Surveying (FS) exam is computer-based, and the FS Reference Handbook is the only resource material you may use during the exam. Reviewing it before exam day will help you become familiar with the charts, formulas, tables, and other reference information provided. You won't be allowed to bring your personal copy of the Handbook into the exam room. Instead, the computer-based exam will include a PDF version of the Handbook for your use. No printed copies of the Handbook will be allowed in the exam room. The PDF version of the FS Reference Handbook that you use on exam day will be very similar to this one. Pages not needed to solve exam questions—such as the cover and this introductory material—will not be included in the exam-day PDF. In addition, NCEES will periodically revise and update the Handbook, and each FS exam will be administered using the updated version. The FS Reference Handbook does not contain all the information required to answer every question on the exam. Basic theories, conversions, formulas, and definitions examinees are expected to know have not been included. Special material required for the solution of a particular exam question will be included in the question itself.
