What Study Materials and Resources Does REG REVIEW Provide for Geology Licensing Exams?

Updated

REG REVIEW provides four main categories of study support for the National (ASBOG®) FG and PG geology licensing exams: study manuals, a practice tests book, flashcards, and a 12-hour live webinar course. The materials are designed for candidates preparing for the ASBOG® Fundamentals of Geology (FG) and Practice of Geology (PG) exams, and the course bundle adds recorded sessions and a bonus practice test.

Study Manuals

REG REVIEW's study manuals cover material drawn from geology textbooks, agency publications, and government regulations. According to the site, the content is presented in an easy-to-read, step-by-step format, with techniques illustrated by graphics, summarized in tables, and accompanied by additional reading lists for further research. The stated goal is to tailor content to the exams while keeping it relevant to practicing geologists.

FG & PG Practice Tests Book

The practice tests book contains 4 complete tests with original problems and fully worked answers. This is useful if you want to simulate exam conditions and then review the reasoning behind each answer rather than just checking a score.

Flashcards

Flashcards present regulations, key terms, and definitions in an easy-to-carry format and size. They suit short, repeated review sessions — for example, reviewing definitions during a commute or between work tasks.

12-Hour Live Webinar Course

Registering for the 12-hour course includes:

  • A full ASBOG® book set
  • Recordings for revisiting the class
  • A bonus full-length practice test

REG REVIEW states that its courses are the only live courses available for the ASBOG® exam where you can ask questions and engage with instructors directly, and that the webinars also let participants find a study buddy.

What the Provider Claims About Results

REG REVIEW says students who take its FG and PG ASBOG® course report a pass rate 20 to 25% higher than the national pass rate. It also states more than 40 years of experience and over 17,000 customers served since 1985. These are the provider's own figures; the site does not break them down by exam, year, or cohort, so treat them as marketing claims rather than independently verified statistics.
