I've taken several firefighter civil service exams in the past, but never "studied" for them because the information topics were so easy. However, this was my first run at a police exam, and I had heard that they include memorization pieces and a few more difficult topics.Boy am I glad I did! There are 4 practice tests, and the initial diagnostic test really opened my eyes to just how picky and tricky these questions can be. I'm normally an extremely good test-taker, but this book showed me the sly ways questions can be tweaked with just a simple word change.Upon taking my actual exam, I was pleasantly surprised - All of the practice tests in this book are 150 questions long, my exam was only 75. The memorization exercises showed me that it wasn't as scary as I previously thought.My real exam actually lacked a lot of what this book prepares you for (facial recognition, grammar testing, sentence ordering) so if anything, I was OVER-prepared.Bottom line is this - if you're serious about a police career and want to do well on the exam, going through every page of this book can only help you - and for only $13 it's a steal.Best of luck!
This book was actually way more helpful than I thought it would be. It explains everything in a diligent and easy to understand way. Each chapter is very effective in helping you understand your mistakes and preventing you from making the same mistake twice.
Gives you samples of what's to come on the exam. I passed my oral and written test this passed week.
Without a doubt you will score 7 -15 points higher with the book. I used this book for the local police level and without it, just going in blind, would have missed many of the questions. A police exam can be simple but in the simplicity you can make a tone of foolish mistakes because you just don't understand how to read the question or what to be looking for. I scored an 88% and knew I made a few mistakes because I was close to running out of time.
its a real good buy for studying for the Police exam. For those that are good with state exams or exam in General may not need this book. But for myself i like to study and prepare for an exam knowing what im going to get myself into. This book was great and helped me break down what i needed to study the most. Helped me find my weakness. Very updated.I dont regret buying this book for a study guide ..
This book is very informative and was exactly what I was looking for. The helpful hints and up to date exam questions are very useful.
The best take away from this book will make you pay attention to the questions and answers. They aren't trick questions, but it trains you to read the entire question and all the options before you answer so you don't make those small mistakes.There are several tests that combine visual, grammar, memorization, stories, and scenarios, that again, while similar, you won't be finding any actual test questions, well at least I never came across any. Still, highly recommend to prepare.
I took a few tests and did decent. Got this book and it helped alot with the test score and the chapter about oral interviews did wonders.
