1.0 out of 5 stars below average, July 11, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Book of U.S. Postal Exams: How to Score 95-100% and Get a Job (1999-2000 edition) (Paperback)

This book is not that great if you are taking a Postal Clerk/Carrier exam. I just took this exam on July 8, 2000. Sections # 1 (comparing addresses) and # 2 (memorizing addresses in boxes) are relatively all right. However, Bauptista offers virtually no preparation for section # 3 (numbers) and none for section # 4 (following directions). If that is the test you are taking (Clerk/Carrier) I strongly recommend Norman Hall's book. Some things Bautista says are plain strange. Quoting from the book :"When Bautista talks, people listen". What is to listen to? :O)

This review is from: The Book of U.S. Postal Exams: How to Score 95-100% and Get a Job (1999-2000 edition) (Paperback)

After trying to take the test on my own with no guidence, and no higher grade than a 79.0%, after three attempts. I picked up the book U.S. Postal Exams "How to score a 95%-100%" as my final attempt. No other book on the shelf had a title that just jumped right out at me like this book did. I received my results and I scored a 95.6 for clerk, and a 98.0 for carrier. I was hired for the position of automation clerk. Ive been with the Postal service for two years now, and making close to 45k this year. Everyone taking the postal test should own this book. From cover to cover the book "U.S. postal exams" provides you with excellent stategies, very easy to read, bold print, plenty of practice tests, and much humor.I'm writting not to praise myself at a high mark I accomplished. But to say thankyou to the author, your a genius.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing but does contain useful information., August 9, 1999

This review is from: The Book of U.S. Postal Exams: How to Score 95-100% and Get a Job (Paperback)

If you are preparing for Battery Exam 470, not best choice. Of the four sections on the exam, the number series and oral sections don't contain any practice exams! Stay away or get the 99-00 ed, not this 97 ed. Found ARCO the best. This book did come in useful for its pragmatic analysis and suggestions, though the #1 tip of quickly, slightly answering answer sheets is in question for me since a proctor indicated that she felt I was not 'completely' darkening the circles although I continued to practice the authors strategy. Does provide many address checking and memory-for-address sections though don't agree with the learning method for memory address. Please allow yourself the 4 practice periods which is ever so slightly mentioned in book.
