Hello Everyone,

I was wondering if you could help me….?

I am an appraiser who wants to become a Right of Way agent. I am studying for an exam for a entry level ROW agent position. The exam is to be: 25% Basic Mathematics; 25% Basic Algebra; 25% Basic Geometry and 25% Basic Appraisal Report Writing.

I would like to target my studying for those portions of “the basics” that might be covered on the test. I may struggle with basic Algebra and basic Geometry because it has been so long since high school and college. "Basics" covers a lot of territory! Anyone have any advice on how best to or what to study? Perhaps you might suggest what portions of “the basics” might be covered in such an exam. You might have a study manual or workbook to recommend.

Thank you so much for your help in this matter. I greatly appreciate it!

The math applicable to RW will mainly be in regard to angles, bearings of lines, areas (square feet) of different shaped parcels and possibly volume (cubic feet) measurements. You will routinely use a protractor and a scale ruler.

I understand that there are some excellent, easy to understand instructional math videos on You Tube. You might check that out for a refresher.

Good luck!
