FG and PG exam practice


Recent I found a website offering FG and PG exam practices, www.geologier.com. At this moment, it only offers some test samples and detailed interpretation of the questions. Although the functions of reivew and glossary are not available yet, the website declares that they are working on the test questions, and hopefully the full featured exams are available soon. Check it out.

ASBOG: FG (Fundamentals of Geology) Sample Questions and Answers with Detailed Explanations, Questions 1-5

Meanwhile, we launched a website to help you going through the preparation of ASBOG exam, www.geologier.com. Here, we provide simulated exams following the ASBOG exam blueprint, and for each of the questions, there are detailed explanations, so you can check how well your bases are covered. Check out the website for more details.

In previous post, we went through the general blueprint from ASBOG official manual. Now, we are going to dig deeper into the manual for FG and PG exams, and look into those specific sample questions for FG and PG exams.

Below are some questions from the Candidate Handbook 2016, from ASBOG website, the link is here: http://www.asbog.org/documents/Candidate%20Handbook%202016.pdf, and thus ASBOG has all of the rights.

However, in the handbook, only the answers are given. Here, I provide detailed explanation for questions with sources of reference, hoping can of some help. Due to time limitations, I will prepare and post bit by bit for the rest of the sample questions in the FG practice section in the Candidate handbook. Please comment if you have any questions. 

ASBOG : Introduction to the Fundamentals of Geology (FG) and the Practice of Geology (PG)

Currently, ASBOG® provides its Member Boards with two multiple-choice examinations – the Fundamentals of Geology (FG) and the Practice of Geology (PG). The FG and PG examinations have been developed to assess common knowledge and skills related to the practice of geology throughout the nation (editor’s note: States and some provinces in Canada).
