1.0 out of 5 stars out dated, June 30, 2006
I purchased this book hoping to obtain recent information on the FDLE exam. I bought the book and then took it to my instructor and also the Regional Director of a Police Academy in the state of florida. Though the book is a little helpful I was advised not to depend it's ability to teach today's classes. Basically this book is outdated and FDLE has changed there tests dramatically since this book was published. I don't have any second thoughts about the advice i recieved because The Regional Director happens to be a relative.

Wishing the best for all.
