| This review course was first presented in the Fall of 1999, as a review
for the geologist examination prepared and distributed by the Association
of State Boards of Geologists (ASBOG).
Statistics from the testing organization show only about half of the examinees
nationwide are successful. The instructors in this course provide a focused
review of the subjects most strongly emphasized on the ASBOG exam. Experience
indicates that any person registering for the ASBOG and any associated State
exams should complete this or a similar review course. A unique feature of this course is the testing. It has been demonstrated in many commercial preparatory courses that improved test-taking skills and reduced test anxiety can result in improved scores. Timed tests using the ASBOG format allow the participants to reuse and sharpen these talents. In addition, specific areas of weakness can be identified by this method and indicate topics that may need special attention before taking the ASBOG exam. | |||

| This review course focuses on the knowledge and skills which, in our opinion, will be tested to assess competence for professional practice. We are confident exam candidates will benefit from our review course. The course instructors have no prior knowledge of direct examination questions, and have made no attempt to gain such information. The study of fundamental geologic principles, and training in practical problem solving, will best prepare candidates for the ASBOG exam. Florida Short Courses makes no guarantee, expressed or implied, that a candidate taking this course will pass this or any similar exam. |
