5.0 out of 5 stars I smoked the Sergeants test thanks to this book!!!!!, May 21, 2007

By	T. Gottfried (CA, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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!!!
