Howdy ya'll,

First I'd like to congratulate those who passed the RPLS and SIT exams last
April.

The study groups are starting back up beginning witht he first session on
Saturday Septmeber 12, 2009, followed by two more sessions on September 26 and
October 10 (both on Saturdays). The meeting will be from 8am to noon. As before,
this won't be a class or lecture on surveying, but a chance to ask questions and
work sample problems. Please bring relevant study materials to share with the
group (as long as no copyrights are violated).


These sessions are free and open to everyone preparing for the exam this October
or even thinking about
taking the RPLS or SIT exams. It is not required to attend all the sessions, but
please RSVP for the meeting you will be attending. The best part is that
breakfast will be provided!

The groups will follow the same format as before with SIT candidates in one room
and RPLS candidates meeting in another, and they will still be at Halff
Associates Richardson office. There is a map to the office in the "Files"
folder.

A reminder will be posted a week before each session requesting RSVP's.

See ya'll there
Rene Salinas, RPLS

Good luck on the test this Saturday to all the potential SITs out there!

The RPLS and SIT study groups will meet again from 8am-noon this Saturday, March

will finish answering the questions for Situation JJ from the TBPLS website and
then start on Situation II.  You don't need to have attended the last meeting
come to this one.

The SIT group will take and then grade a practice exam.  Please arrive promptly
to allow enough time to take the entire practice exam.  This is an excellent
opportunity to highlight areas you may be weak in and should focus you studies

exam. The first meeting will be Saturday, March 7, from 8am-noon at

studying to take the SIT exam this April or in the future.  As always,
there is no cost for the study group, and breakfast is provided for

All,

Wow, that isn't something you want to see in your inbox on a Monday
morning! Sorry about the spam over the weekend from this site. I've
removed the messages and revoked the membership of the "member" who
posted them. I'll probably end up turning on the filter for new
members as a result.

A year a half ago when I took the SIT exam  I ended up staying at
Hampton Inn, which was affordable and only 10-15 minutes drive away
from the Board building.
It's at the intersection of I.H.-35 and 45. Its address is

110 Dell Way
Round Rock, TX 78664
(512) 248-9100
hamptoninn.comý

At the time of the exam back then there was a lot of construction
going on along I.H.35 and therefore a lot of the exits were closed.
Nevertheless, the location of the Hotel suited me pretty well,
because even if you were to take the service road it's only 15
minutes drive.

Best of luck to all of you on Friday's test. Hope I helped

Subject: [land_surv] Good luck this Saturday!!

I would like to wish everyone taking the exam on Saturday good luck. I
know you'll all do great.

Make sure you know exactly where you're going before Saturday morning.
The location is a little hard to find if you've never been there. I
strongly recommend taking off Friday if you can swing it. Plan on
bringing a lunch with you or eating in the cafeteria. There isn't
enough time to go grab something and make it back. And besides, do you
really want to gamble your test score against Austin traffic?

I'll be looking for all of your names after the Board meets in
December. Good Luck!!

The study group on the September 20th was a great success.  We had a
total of 16 people attend.  Linda Hernandez from Precise Land Records
catered delicious breakfast tacos, and René Ortiz gave a brief
presentation on the types of services PLR offers.

We have reached our last meeting before the October exams.  It will be
this Saturday, October 4, from 8am-noon at Halff Associates' office in
Richardson (see map in the "Files" section).  I have some topics
scheduled to review, but please feel free to bring up any subjects you
still might need some help with.  As always, the study groups are free
and breakfast is provided for those who RSVP.  Please RSVP by
responding to this post if you plan on attending.

The next study group meeting will be this Saturday, September 20, from
8am-noon at Halff Associates' Richardson office (see map in the "Files"
section).  This is the meeting to attend if you can only make it one
time this year!  Linda Hernandez from Precise Land Records will be
catering breakfast tacos, and she and René Ortiz will give a short
presentation on the services PLR offers.  The RPLS group will work
through some long analytical problems, and the SIT group will cover
vertical curves, traverse closures, and standard deviation.  All of
this is offered free of charge.  Please RSVP by replying to this post
or by e-mailing me directly if you plan on attending.

Thanks,
Jason

The study group on September 6 was a success.  A total of 14 people
showed up evenly split between the two groups.  The RPLS group
practiced some more inverses longhand and worked through Situation ii
from the sample problems available on the TBPLS website.  The SIT group
worked through part of the PM portion of the NCEES sample test.  Next
time the RPLS group will continue working analytical problems and the
SIT group will cover vertical curves, traverse closures, and standard
deviation.

Linda Hernandez from Precise Land Records has offered cater breakfast
for the next meeting free of charge.  This will be a marked improvement
from our usual sausage roll and donut breakfast!  This is the meeting
to attend if you can only make it one time this year.

I will send out a request for RSVPs when the September 20 meeting gets
closer.

I'll be there.

-Eric
