I bought this as a gift for my husband, who was preparing to take the CHP Exam and the local Police Department exam. He passed BOTH written tests :) Definitely helped him get a good understanding of what to expect and break apart the tests.It has multiple practice tests to use as a review as well as detailed explanations for the answers (if you are unsure of WHY that is the correct answer).
Bought it for a student who wants to become an NYPD officer. They really like it and found it helpful to give them an overview of the exam before they go an buy other necessary books to study for the exam.
This book was GREAT! I took the test the first time and didn't know what to expect and failed it. This book covers everything you need to know to pass, the second time I took the test I made a 88, Now I have my dream job.
I'm in the process of getting into one of my local police departments, before starting the process I ordered this book to give me a hopeful advantage or at least shed some light into my new career choice. Over all it's a good book that covers basic questions and materials. From the 3 different law enforcement exams Ive taken this book is helpful in some exams and not so helpful in others, with that being said any extra information in a life long career is worth having especially at sub $20 price. I recommend reading(in general) and studying mapping (direction) for most exams. The 3 exams I've taken have consisted of spelling problems, mapping problems, correct word usage problems and suspect identification( review suspect id's then answer questions)
My husband purchased this book to help him study for his exam. He said most sections were pretty helpful. However, he bought this mainly for the math sections. He asked me for help on some of the problems since I am a math major and he did not understand the solutions provided. However, at least two of the problems I noticed solve the problem a very difficult way. I had to show him a much simpler way to solve it. I also noticed that on one problem all the multiple choice answers are incorrect.
A bit basic, but good information. The gift recipient liked it.Very much USA focused but a lot of the information is general.
I'm not an actor, nor have I received and payment by this company to endorse it. Therefore this book made my civil service exam for deputy sheriff a breeze. Everything on the test I had become familiar with in the book. No surprises that I hadn't been prepared for by this product. A+
Great book, really helped me get ready for the test. Gave great insite on what to expect. The practice test are a big big help.
