5.0 out of 5 stars Buy this book only if you are serious about getting a career., November 1, 2005

By	Kevin P. (Norman, OK) - See all my reviews

I bought this book to help me prepare for a career with the postal service. At age 45, I need to concentrate on a career, not just a good job, one with benefits like health insurance and retirement. T.W. Parnell's book is the closest thing to the real test as you can get without having the postal service give you copy of the test in advance. The book is laid out exactly, and I mean exactly like the real test. The test will be given to you just like you see in the book. By using the precisley timed audio CD's, you can practice over and over by using the answer sheets provided, until you not only get it right, but until you get it right and increase your speed so you can use the time to either check your answers, or utilize the test taking strategies to get a leg up on the competition. Speaking of the "competition," I witnessed many unprepared people who were blown away at taking this test, and some people were so intimidated by the postal exam they walked out in frustration. By using the test-taking strategies and memorization techniques in this book, I had all the confidence in the world and my test score proves it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Complete Postal Exam Training Program - Buy Now!, July 13, 2005

By	Blake R. Tull "Cloud_Fuel@hotmail" (Conroe, Tx, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've searched and scoured online for a book to aptly prepare me for my postal exam and further my chances towards becoming an employee with the United States Postal Service.. and my searches have yielded me one such book. This book I paid $29.99 for and would gladly pay that again in a heartbeat! I studied the pages preceding the "practice exams" every night for a month prior to my test date, then once I received notice of my test date, I began taking the tests. I received high scores never lower than 95% every practice exam I took.. and going into the test I felt more confident about any test I'd ever taken in my life. I received my results about a week ago.. and sure enough I had aced the test. This book for the most part gets you psyched and ready for the test mentally.. but it also gives you the physical endurance as well as tips and tricks that help you to break down this would-be "doozy" of a test.

Honestly... buy this book and you won't be disappointed.. I know I sure wasn't! Email me if you need any further assurance/proof!

4.0 out of 5 stars My thanks to T.W. Parnell!, August 22, 2005

By	A. MCCONNELL (Arizona) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This was a great book. T.W. Parnell was right on about what goes on during a postal exam from stating that the fact that practicing his techniques is your best bet at a good grade, right down to treating your pencil like it were poison when you aren't filling in those little bubbles. The techniques were excellent. If it hadn't been for them I would have felt very lost during the exam. With them, I was able to put everything else aside and concentrate on my exam which helped me to achieve a great score. The only thing that was better that his hints on acing the fourth part of the test was the audio timing CD. That was a wonderful addition. My thanks to T.W. Parnell!
