Everything You Should Know About the PS Exam
The PS exam is one of the last steps before becoming a licensed professional surveyor. It is designed for surveyors who have passed the FS exam and gained a minimum of 4 years of professional experience.
Prerequisites
Before you are allowed to take the PS exam, you will need to meet several requirements specified by NCEES. Because states’ requirements all vary, we suggest checking with your state board.
Exam Fees
A fee of $300 will be due to NCEES before you can sit for the PS exam. Because every state may have different registration procedures, we suggest you check with your state’s licensing board in case there are separate applications or fees required to register.
Exam Day
This exam is 7 hours long, computer-based, and includes 100 questions. On the day of the exam, you will be given a virtual version of the NCEES PS Reference Handbook. You will also have access to a digital calculator and onscreen whiteboard. A free copy of this handbook is available for download through your MyNCEES account. You can also download the free NCEES Examinee Guide to learn more about what to expect on the day of the FS exam.
After the Exam
CBT exam results are typically available 7 to 10 days after you take the FS exam. NCEES will send you an email with instructions on how to view and understand your exam review results through your NCEES account. If you are curious to learn more about this process, please click here.
