I use it on occasion, mainly for bubble diagrams and simple plan concepts.  Easy to use and I like the watercolor fill options (as somebody who used the old Squiggle software from the early 90s)

I have a BSLA and an MLA and am glad I did it. It made sense at the time (no one was hiring LA’s in the early 90’s either) and the MLA program (and school) had strengths that differed from my undergrad program. And while the cost of tuition has gone up considerably, there are still ways to pay for it (scholarships, assistantships) and ways to reduce cost (in-state vs. out of state). If you are just graduating and seriously considering grad school (regardless of degree you plan to pursue), now is a better time to do it than 5-10 years from now when you may have other obligations.

I took the state exam in June…
1) the ID section is given outside w/ real material, you walk around in a group and are asked to identify common and botanical names. There is also a written exam which is taken inside.
2) 30-35 plants
3) don’t know, I studied the Odenwald book and had prior knowledge from working in Louisiana
4) the plants we were asked to identify were fairly common, but it may depend on when you take the test. It could be different if they offer it in December when leaves are off some of the trees.
