5.0 out of 5 stars Good study Guide, January 7, 2008

By	Maka Veli "Agent 006" (San-Diego, CA United States) - See all my reviews

Great study guide, I bought this for my wife who was taking the civil service Administrative Analyst position. She went from getting 69% to a 90% passing score! However, getting through the politics of the organization is a whole different matter...

Otherwise from that, its an excellent study guide.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not relevant, July 1, 2009

By	Ashley Logan - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I completed every test over and over, attempting to review and learn the concepts that would be on the ACWA test. The test itself was MUCH harder that anything provided in this study book. The vocabulary section was helpful, but the math section was completely useless. I would advise to spend the extra money and purchase the other version.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good resource for preparation, June 13, 2009

This book was better written & more comprehensive than those we got from our library.My husband worked through three different civil service study guides in preparation for his exam. He commented immediately that this was by far the best.
