Can anyone point  out a good source for sustainability and materials and methods. It felt great on the exam, but something has to be missing. Im floating between 2s and 3s and I have referenced many books that I have. Do the practice exams help?

Thanks, Veenu!

Alland, 
 
Something I can think of right now are, 
Pavement Cross sections, look for 
-thickness of concrete
-proper placement of filter fabric
-water proofing etc
 
Stairs
-Riser thread heights or riser tread combined dimensions
-Handrail height, end handrail wrap up
 
Gaurdrails- spacing between rails, height, minimum requirement of gaurd…[Read more]

any idea what may be some of the flaws in the construction cross sections?
steps, hardscaping, retaining walls, etc?

Great, thanks for the help!
 
I think I’m going to buy the LaGro book to start with and try to get the other ones through interlibrary loan (which never even occurred to me at first). 
 
I would eventually like to buy all of them, but that’s almost $600 for all the books (used), exam fee, and study guides, so that’ll have to wait. 

The test had questions from all four books.  I think the Site Analysis by LaGro would be the most important followed by the Booth and Russ books.  I suggest you read them all though if you are serious about passing the exam.  They are great books to have in your library for referencing throughout your career so make the investment if you can.

Jessica, you should be able to get all these books at your local library through interlibrary loan.

Jessica,
 
I have Site Analysis, and Site Planning & Design Handbook.  I read both of them, but only skimmed the Site Planning book.  Definitely read Site Analysis and get the PPI study material, and maybe the CLARB practice test.  That is what got me to pass this time.
 

UF has a full LARE prep course on May 5th. Check out flasla.com for more info.

Hi All , 
 
Does anyone know of any prep-courses or private tutors for the

Thanks,

Tad, I don’t know why Russ would write it as 1:4. That’s not the “conventional” way of doing it.
