2.0 out of 5 stars copyright 1994, June 7, 2005
This review is from: Norman Hall's Postal Exam Preparation Book (Paperback)
This book has a copyright of 1994. I applied for the test, and when I recieved the information packet, the descriptions of the test were significantly different. I am going to buy a more current edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Postal Exam Preparation book, October 17, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This book was very helpful in helping my son prepare for the postal exam. We are still waiting for the results but he said the practice tests were harder then the actual test that he took.

1.0 out of 5 stars not very helpful, June 3, 2008
This review is from: Norman Hall's Postal Exam Preparation Book (Paperback)
I don't usually do reviews, but I was so disappointed in this book that I want to warn others. I bought this book to study for the rural carrier exam. I was mostly interested in learning some strategies for taking the memory portion of the exam. I wasn't happy with this book's method of assigning random letters to numbers and then trying to make words and stories out of them. The book didn't mention easy ways to break down the numbers, or maybe focusing on just names or numbers first, or even talk about whether you're penalized for wrong guesses or not. The chapters on studying for other portions of the test don't measure up, either. For example, the number sequence study section uses multiplication and division and the real test does not. It's a waste of time to learn how to decode number sequences that aren't even on the postal exam.
I definitely do not recommend this book. You'd be better off just using what the post office sends you and winging the rest.
