3.0 out of 5 stars It may be the best (or only) study aid--but don't trust it!, April 24, 1999

By A Customer

This may be the best (or even the only) collection of practice tests for the Treasury Agent Enforcement Exam. But don't trust it, especially if you are applying for Secret Service. The actual test is much more difficult then these deceptively easy practice tests. Beware of the Math section particularly; this book contains very basic arithmetic and algebra, which may lead you to expect the same on the real test. But the actual test is more complex.

4.0 out of 5 stars A first step guide to getting to know the TEA exam, June 16, 1999

By	[e-mail] (Kensington, MD) - See all my reviews

This exam aid is a definite help if you are going to take the TEA exam. Though, as the previous reviewer said, the math is fairly simple as compared to the actual exam. It's a good start but it is highly advised that the reader look into more complex linear equations. This book is a good start for anyone who doesn't know any background on any of the Treasury Bureau's.

3.0 out of 5 stars Use it only for the non-math portions of the exam., December 9, 1999

By	Brooks White (Arkansas, USA) - See all my reviews

I would echo the sentiments of other reviewers that this is a good study guide for every portion of the TEA Exam EXCEPT the math portion. The math portion of the actual exam is at about the same level of difficulty as the math on the GMAT and GRE exams. Use a study guide for those exams to prepare for the math portion of the TEA.
