5.0 out of 5 stars An Absolute MUST for the CHP Exam!!!, June 4, 2001

By 

Jason (California, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: State Police Exam: California: Complete Preparation Guide (Learningexpress Law Enforcement Library) (Paperback)

This book is incredible! I took one previous police test before buying this book. I completely bombed that test. This study guide helped me turn my attitude and aptitude around and I believe I did much better on the CHP test! The 2 practice exams in the book gave me almost an exact replica of the actual CHP exam! I was completely confident with all of my skills. This book helped me with the reading comprehension, writing, spelling, vocabulary, fill-in-the-blank, and essay. It even tells you as the reader what exactly to do to get hired. I have absolute confidence now and thanks to this book I believe that I have a chance to become a CHP Officer!!! I recommend this book to anybody who wishes to succeed in the CHP testing process!!! It is exactly like having the test in advance!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars I cheated!, December 23, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: State Police Exam: California: Complete Preparation Guide (Learningexpress Law Enforcement Library) (Paperback)

Who did they bribe to get the material for this book. The practice exams in this book are identical to the actual exam. It's like you're cheating. This book gives even the ideal canidate a huge advantage. It not only tells you what you should know prior to taking the exam, but it also familiarizes you with the exact format of the exam so you know what to expect, saving you a lot of precious time.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you want to pass the test the first time!, September 14, 2002

By 

"muniz4942" (Moreno Valley, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: State Police Exam: California: Complete Preparation Guide (Learningexpress Law Enforcement Library) (Paperback)

If you want to pass the California Highway Patrol's written test, buy and study this book! I bought it in August and took and passed the test at the end of August! The examples in this book mirrors what is on the C.H.P. written test. Also, if you plan on taking the written test, start doing crossword puzzles. You'll find out how that will help you when your taking the test! Good luck-
