This review is from: Barron's Correction Officer Exam (Paperback)
The book is excellent and helpful. There are many practice questions and the explanations really clear up any confusions. However, after spending the money on this book and countless hours studying, I took the NYS Correction Officer Exam and found it didn't pertain to anything I learned in this book. Wow....

Good tips on test taking and test prep, good general review of court officer exam. I just wish it had a few more practice tests, but not a bad study guide.
