5.0 out of 5 stars
I smoked the Sergeants test thanks to this book!!!!!,
By
This review is from: Police Sergeant Exam (Barron's Police Sergeant Examination) (Paperback)
I bought this book about two months prior to taking the Sergeants test and read it cover to cover. It is very well written and easy to read. There is a test at the beginning of the book that helps you identify your weak areas so you can concentrate on them. Each section has a test after it to help drive home all the points. Not only did this book help me with the written, but the information inside also helped me prepare for the oral exam.I ended up ranking #1 in the testing process!!!! If your department uses the state written exam for Sergeant then this book is a MUST! WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD!!!
2.0 out of 5 stars
Didn't help,
This review is from: Police Sergeant Exam (Barron's Police Sergeant Examination) (Paperback)
My agency test was totally different from what I was prepared for in reviewing this book. I still passed but nothing on my test was discussed in this book. My actual test questions were more about police procedure and constitutional law. Based on what procedure is for California, which sucked since I'm a cop in Tennessee!
4.0 out of 5 stars
Inbox Exercise Help,
This review is from: Police Sergeant Exam (Barron's Police Sergeant Examination) (Paperback)
Very good sample tests - this book really helped with my written test and inbox exercise. The indexing technique used in this book helped me prioritize my inbox exercise so I could complete it in plenty of time and spend the correct amount of time on the priority items.
