Congrats on your Masters and good luck on the exam. I passed the CA exam in April of 11' and its pretty damn satisfying. We have 3 exams to take, the general (I chose water resources as that is my area), seismic, and surveying. I went full bore on the seismic studying but was able to pass all 3 on the first try. All I could really recommend is dont spend too much time on one question. If you don't know how to do it right off the bat, I would say skip it, and make sure you get to the ones that you know immediately how to solve. Then go back to the ones you didnt and work on those. I know for sure of a bunch of questions I wasnt too confident in, and left those for last and was able to get in done. Good luck!!

6 days till the big test. I'm feeling pretty confident, I think I'm gonna crush this thing. I took the sample exam several weeks back put out by the organization that makes the test in a simulated test run and scored a 92%. I've since had an 80 hour training class (split over 3, 4 day weekends) and studied countless hours.

In any event, send positive thoughts my way on Friday April 13th.

Hi David, I also want to say good luck. And don't worry about all that Friday the 13th stuff. Just take a rabbit's foot with you,wear your lucky shirt, don't break any mirrors that day. Before leaving home throw a little salt over your right shoulder. Don't walk under any ladders when your outside looking for that four leaf clover. Lastly don't let a black cat cross it's path in front of you.

Do all this, and cram for the exam, you'll be fine. Again best of luck.


With out Jesus Christ there can be no Redemption or Salvation.

Best of luck David, although it sounds like you won't be needing it.

Good luck David. As Murph said, you sound like you don't need it, we make our own luck.
