If you are serious about the corrections exam, then this is the book for you. It covers all areas of the exam, including math, codes, sentence structure, and there is even a section to help prepare you for the physical part of the exam as well. This book will, however, OVERprepare you, which is a GOOD thing. It is far better to be over prepared then not know what you are doing.
Although study guides designed specifically for each corrections officer exam (such as one specifically designed for New York) would be better, this is a very comprehensive study guide, covering lots of different topics on the exam, including tips on how to answer specific types of questions and lots of practice questions. The Chapter on study preparation and evaluating your test taking strengths is great too.
I started this opportunity in hopes to prepare me for the California Corrections exam. I needed study material and I didn't have any. Looking through this book and studying every section was time consuming in a good way. Taking in the information helped me to prepare and most of all pass the test. Now it is on to the Physical Test. This book can also help you with this step but you have to do the work.I would advise anyone who is looking for an overview of any Corrections test to consider this as a source of study. It will get you ready. Take your time as you read over this information. Think about what you see and read. If you make mistakes, it's O.K. I made many.In the end, you are your best source of knowledge.Thank you for having this material available.George
This book is very detailed and provides a lot of useful information to help pass a test. Covers all steps when becoming a Corrections officer. Good book for any corrections officer test.
Studied this book for two months good tests teaches you basic knowledge that you forget over the years, math grammar, but thanks to this book I've passed my test nailed my interview and awaiting the academy to start I recommend to anyone serious getting into this field
The book has good information about the prison system, including crime information taken from the Bureau of Criminal Justice Statistics. However, if you are going to take a civil service exam, you might also want to purchase, study and take notes from that book as well.
This book gave me confidence and preperation to successfully pass the cdcr written exam. It has a great review section on math, english grammer, and vocab.
Its clear and easy-to-use and understand and learning. And assest to quizzes an outlone of how the exam will be.
