(1) How do I check out the 1st part of section D that I missed 6 hours ago?
(2) I’ve passed sections A and B.  B on the first try and A on the second.  I was able to take them because I received an AA in Landscape Architecture from Truckee Meadows Community College in Reno, NV in ’09.  …[Read more]

Jeffrey,
What do you think of the Russ Book?

Thanks Ray.  I am reading that book right now.  I also have Site Planning and Design Handbook by Thomas Russ

Who has passed Sec. B, and what is your strategy?

I’m setting this discussion group up as an information exchange resource for people sitting for the exam. Perhaps it will be helpful in de-mystifying these sections for the users.

Hello, Funny I also am relocating to PDX in December this 2010 from Norwalk, CT and I am in the trenches networking and looking for a position. The ability to fairly quickly travel from dense Urban to open rugged spaces is great out here. Bits of the high desert I have seen are pleasantly new to me. How to manage water is a unavoidable and…[Read more]
