This book does a great job with the various testing phases of a Sgt Exam. I had already gone through the written, policy, portion of our exam prior to buying this. We were tested in two phases and we weren't told what the 2nd phase would consist of, only that it was an assessment. This book definitely explains all the different types of assessments and what the raters look for when they are scoring you. It covers inboxes, oral interviews, role-player assessments, etc. Just be aware that it covers a lot of different types and therefore doesn't get incredibly in-depth. The first half of the book is all related to the written test as well, so I can't really comment on that, as I didn't have it prior, and never read it.I found that the topics and points covered are pretty true to life. I had a tutor and it covers almost all the same things he did, at a MUCH lower price. After completing the second portion I feel like this book did a fair job at preparing me; my scenario was nearly directly referenced in the book as an example. I would imagine that test makers study some of the very same information in this book, when learning to PREPARE a test, so it gives you a good point of view.I would, however, combine it with other types of preparation, from tutors, to policy review, and even other books.
I bought this after waiting till the last minute to study for my SGT exam. It covers a lot of topics and helps reteach you how to take a test...lost skill after 15 years of not being in school. I would recommend this to anyone taking a promotion exam. I believe it is one of the things that got me into the top 3.
I've purchased many of these prep books over the years and while they are a good to read and easier to follow than the text books, there is no one test prep book that have all the answers except for the books on the written test reading list.
lets just say my husband scored NUMBER ONE on the sergeants exam!!!!! thanks to this book and other books. He studied his butt off for 6 months and it paid off. This book covers a bunch of different books. Each department's exam is different so this is a good book to have since it covers a lot. He also purchased the Community Policing book and other ones that he knew that his department tested on. He also purchased digital flash cards that were very helpful.
General idea of what's on the test and types of questions and logic to expect. My review based on Sgt test for state of NY. This is a good aid to include in studying but does not include all parts of test, like specific law questions.
Studied for Lt's exam with it, along with other materials, and its good basic prep but is very similar to the earlier edition. So if you have the first save you're money and spend it on Ianone's new edition, which you will need.
Not a complete substitute for the books but it's excellent as additional preparation for this test. This book alone should get you a passing mark on the written test if properly studied. Oral section was spot on.
Studied this for two weeks and the Sgt test I took had maybe 2 questions related to this book. I was shocked how outdated this was. Very informative information in parts but in St. Louis, not helpful at all for the promotional test.
