5.0 out of 5 stars Updated to the New December 2004 Test, April 14, 2005
The Postal Exam 473 (and the same test with a different number 473-C) is the brand new (December 2004) standard test used by the Postal Service to fill all fulltime Processing, Distribution, Delivery, and Retail Postal jobs. While the test is like a lot of other standardized tests, it has been specially written for the Postal Service. It has specialized parts that directly relate to Postal services such as tests that have to do with route sorting mail, memory tests that are based on ZIP Codes and addresses, and filling out forms that are specific to the Postal Service.

This book is produced in three versions to suit your study preferences. These are:

The Original Postal Exam 473 & 473-C Study Guide -- This version is text only. It has reference material and sample exams with many test taking tips.

Complete Postal Exam 473 & 473-C Training Program with 2 Test Prep Audio CD's -- This is the same book, but two audio CD's read it to you while you follow along in the book. Using two senses, eyes and ears increase the retention of information.

New Postal Exam 473 & 473-C Computer-Based Course -- This is again the same book, but there is a CD that contains both test prep classes and realiztic practice exams, you'll need an internet ready PC with Windows to use this version.

4.0 out of 5 stars Postal exam 473 preparation, May 21, 2005
By Hedgehogchow (California) - See all my reviews
I just received this book and the 473 & 473-C Computer-Based Course and have found out that the books are identical except for the CD-Rom. So don't waste your money buying both. The book provides six practice exams for parts A (address checking), part B (forms completion), and part C (coding and memory). It does not give any detailed information regarding Part D (personal characteristics and experience inventory). This seems like a good start for learning how to pass the exam but I don't know for sure. I bought this book to help my son pass the new test since I already work for the Post Office and my old study books for the old 470 exam are no longer any good.

5.0 out of 5 stars USE 4 RESULTS!, August 30, 2005
By snow white (Ohio, United States) - See all my reviews
This book has 6 sample tests exactly like the postal test answer sheets and all. It has excellent tips and techniques that apply specifically to the 473/473c test. I only bought the book. The book was a Godsend and is a must buy for any 473/473c test taker. I was able to answer all the questions on the 473 test with time to go back and check some answers on all sections. I couldn't have done it without this book! I was more than prepared. :)
The is the best studyguide and is much better than the rest! I know I bought another by Arco called, "Postal Exams" and it was not as good as this one.
