Roy
"I found the practice exam very useful in preparing for the NCEES PS exam. Great refresher to reinforce key topics and supplement other study aids. After practicing Engineering for many years, I decided to pursue Surveying. With the materials PPI offers, I was able to successfully pass the PS exam on the first attempt."
