You can sit for it as a senior — you don’t have to

FG is not a graduation requirement. It’s step one toward becoming a licensed Professional Geologist, and full licensure also needs five years of professional experience. Florida lets you take FG in your senior year once you’ve completed 30+ semester hours of geology coursework, with a Letter of Good Standing from your school. Most people do it then for one reason: the material is never fresher than the year you finish your degree.

Three courses cover 38% of this exam

Geomorphology (Domain D, 14%), Hydrogeology (Domain F, 13%) and Sedimentology/Stratigraphy (Domain C, 11%) together account for 38% of every FG question — and all three are standard upper-division coursework. If you are taking them, your coursework and your exam prep are the same work.

Where to spend your effort

Ordered by what buys you the most marks, not by what’s most fun.

Sources & caveats. Domain names and weights are taken from the official ASBOG® Examinee Candidate Handbook (Appendix 2: FG and PG Test Blueprints), and the exam format from the same handbook. Florida eligibility is set by the Florida Board of Professional Geologists, not by ASBOG — rules change, so confirm with the board before you apply.
