✍️ Sample LSIT Questions & Answers

1. In the Public Land Survey System, how many acres are in a standard section?
✓ 640 acres

A standard PLSS section is 1 mile × 1 mile = 640 acres; a township contains 36 such sections.

2. Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) primarily support:
✓ High-accuracy GPS/GNSS positioning through continuous reference data

CORS stations provide continuous GPS/GNSS tracking data that surveyors access to perform high-accuracy positioning and control surveys.

3. Which of the following best describes a 'call' in a deed description?
✓ Any element in a deed description such as a course, distance, monument, or adjoiner

A call is any element referenced in a deed description, including bearings, distances, monuments, and adjoiners, used to locate a boundary.

4. Meridian convergence (mapping angle γ) is defined as:
✓ The angular difference between grid north and geodetic north

Meridian convergence is the angle between grid north and geodetic (true) north at a given point in a projected coordinate system.

5. The scale factor in a State Plane Coordinate System (SPCS) is applied to account for:
✓ The difference between grid distances on the projection plane and geodetic distances on the ellipsoid

The grid scale factor converts ellipsoidal geodetic distances to grid (plane) distances used in SPCS computations.

6. What is the formula for slope distance to horizontal distance?
✓ HD = SD × cos(vertical angle)

Cosine of the vertical angle converts slope to horizontal.

What Practice Test Geeks adds beyond an AI chat for LSIT

An AI chatbot can quiz you, but it can't reproduce the exam conditions or keep your record. Here you get:

  • A timed, full-length LSIT mock exam — 110 questions in 240 minutes with a 70% pass mark, modeled on the official exam's question count and time limit, followed by a score report broken down by exam domain.
  • A fixed LSIT question bank: the same test every attempt, so your score is comparable from one try to the next instead of changing with every regenerated quiz.
  • Progress saved on your device: completed tests, scores and missed questions stay in My Progress, so you can retake only what you got wrong.
  • A printable LSIT cheat sheet you can print or save as a PDF.
  • LSIT flashcards built from the same question bank.
  • Free LSIT practice tests with the correct answer shown after each question.
