USA How many passed asp with just pocket prep?
I have 5 years experience 3 years military and 2 at a small survey business. Pocket prep has been very easy so far after going over 400 or so of the questions. How similar is the exam to pocket prep and how likely am I to pass with only pocket prep studying?

I used pocket prep and Dave Yates Safety Guide Book along with the internet.

Pocket prep is great. I think almost everyone on here that has passed has mentioned that they used it, including myself. But I’d definitely find another resource to round out your studying. If you can get the Yates book, I’d highly recommend it. If not try the Newquist videos. I think he has a facebook group where you can get questions from as well.

I’m getting into the Yates book now.
I’ll hit up the newquist videos at a later time.
I appreciate the input!

Good catch. I have third edition.
Any idea where I could download 4th for free by chance? I got 3rd from another post in this sub.

Similar background as you when I took the ASP/CSP. Only studied from the PocketPrep and passed both.

I used other resources in addition to that. I passed after my third time.
It's also based on experience, so if you have a lot of experience and safety then you're studying might be less. I had about 3.5 years of experience when I took the exam.
