2.0 out of 5 stars
Not a helpful study guide for this exam,
By
This review is from: Electronic Technician (USPS) (Career Examination Series) (Plastic Comb)
I took the USPS's Electronic Technician exam in Kansas City, Missouri on August 1 (2008). I would urge you NOT to waste your money or your time on this book. The exam that I took had absolutely NOTHING in common whatsoever with what was covered in this so-called study guide. Unlike the SAT or the GRE study guides where you encounter similar, or even the identical questions in some instances, this was not the case in this particular situation. After several months of intense study, I was still completely unprepared for the exam I was given. The only way to pass this USPS exam is to be thoroughly familiar with electrical circuitry as well as with tool and mechanical theory and practice. This is an exam where one either knows the material asked or he does not. Studying this book will NOT help you. The only reason I gave it two stars is because it does contain some decent review information as regards definitions and basic computer terminology and concepts. However, you will find virtually none of this on the actual exam. Same thing is true with the binary, decimal, hexidecimal, and octal number systems; you MUST know these systems thoroughly. Of course, you are not allowed a scientific calculator which makes these numerical conversions somewhat problematic. I do not have the mechanical study guide so I cannot speak to its utility. I can only say that studying this book will not help you with this impossibly difficult exam.

This review is from: Electronic Technician (USPS) (Career Examination Series) (Plastic Comb)
This was an outstanding study aid at the time. The test has since changed dramatically and this book no longer applies to the new version of the exam.
