Test next week!

Test next week!

Test next week!

(OP)
Anyone out there have any last minute tips on what to focus on for the ASBOG? I know that Hydro was increased to 41%, but does anyone have any insight as to what types of questions will be added? More general term/concept type questions or actual plug and chug with formula memorization type questions?

RE: Test next week!

I took the test 3 years ago and found the test to weigh heavy on Ch. 6, 7, and 8 of the Geology Study Manual, by Reg Review, Inc.

Ch6 Subsurface Inv.
Ch7 Hydrogeology
Ch 8 Water Quality and G-W Contamination

I am taking the test again next week and am kinda of concentrating my efforts on these items.

RE: Test next week!

You may have this information alreay. Pleae refer to "Examination Emphasis Comparison" (ASBOG2002, Candidate Handbook, Appendix 2).

Field Meghods, Remote Sensing: FG(29.1%)/PG(35%)
Hydrogeology: FG(24.5%)/PG(25%)
Engineering Geology: FG(2.7%)/PG(11.3%)
Structural Geology/Tectonics:FG(9.1%)/PG(2.5%)
Sedimentology/Stratigraphy/Paleontology:FG(10%)/PG(3.8%)
Mineralogy/Petrography/Petrology/Geochemistry:FG(13.6%)/PG(2.5%)
Geomorphology: FG(6.4%)/PG(6.3%)
Petroleum Geology/Mining Geology/Energy Resources:FG(0.9%)/PG(8.8%)
Geophysics/Seismology: FG(3.6%)/PG (5%)

I am also taking the test next year and started studying now.

RE: Test next week!

You may want to look at the newest hand book (Fall 2005) all the percentages have changed; FG,PG
General Geology 35, 32%
Mineralogy, Petrology, petrography- 2, 0%
Sed, Strat, Paleo- 5, 2%
Quaternary, Geomorph, surfical- 3, 2%
Structure, Tectonics, Seis- 5, 3%
Hydro and envi geochem- 35, 41%
Engineering-8, 12%
Econ and Engergy Res.- 3, 6%

Also the number of questions has increased to 120 and 100 with no more alloted time.
