KSPG's Review Suggestions for the ASBOG exam*
* Each individual learns differently. These suggestions are
provided merely as a guide for one possible method for exam preparation.
- Contact the
Kentucky Board of Registration for Professional Geologists for information and application
materials regarding profesional registration in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
- For specific information about the ASBOG exam or professional registration, go to the
ASBOG website, and be sure to carefully read the
Professional Geologists Candidate
Handbook. The Candidate Handbook is the ONLY official, ASBOG-sanctioned source
of information and review materials for the ASBOG exams.
- Review the Exam Blueprint described in the Candidate Handbook, and note the
weighting given to different geological topics (eg. geophysics, hydrogeology, etc.)
on the ASBOG exams.
- Identify your personal strengths and weaknesses in these different topic areas. The
Review of Practical Geology short course is designed to help with this part of the
process.
- Carefully plan your studying to focus on the topics with which you feel least
confident, and which have the most emphasis on the exam. Undergraduate textbooks
effective–yet sometimes expensive–resources for this task. If budget is a consideration,
you might also consider some of the resources listed below.
