California Surveyors Forums

NCEES is currently seeking volunteers who are licensed professional surveyors or surveyor interns to participate in a standard-setting study for the Fundamentals of Surveying (FS) exam. To qualify, volunteers must have taken and passed the NCEES FS exam.

Selected volunteers will review and rate the difficulty of items that will be included on the updated FS exam, which will be administered as a computer-based exam beginning in 2014. The volunteers’ responses will help NCEES determine the passing score for the FS exam.

The standard-setting study will take place July 27–28, 2012, in Atlanta, Georgia. Travel and lodging expenses will be paid by NCEES.

To volunteer for the study, please complete this short survey (about 2 minutes). Your answers will help us ensure that the standard-setting study panel members meet certain criteria required by NCEES policy and are diverse in terms of demographics.

This is your chance to ensure that California Land Surveyors play a part in the development of the national Fundamentals of Surveying (FS) exam towards certification as a Land Surveyor-in-Training, and eventually as a licensed Land Surveyor in California.

If you can find a way to be available and volunteer, it will prove to a valuable and rewarding experience for everyone.
