GDSW Calculation Methods

[BZ]

Hi Everyone,

 For those who have taken this section before, would you say it's necessary to know how to apply each calculation method (average end-area, borrow pit, contour plane, etc), or is it sufficient to just understand the purpose and appropriate use of each method?  

Thanks in advance!!

You can never be certain about what they will ask, but I think from discussions and experience they will ask questions about which to apply in various situations not how to apply them in actual calculations. 

SO, know the main approaches and understand when and why you would use them in situations that might arise.
