I read it cover to cover and then went through it again, following the directions and making notes. It is easy to understand, and the way it is written (as if the author is talking directly to you) makes it interesting as well.Using this book I scored an "outstanding" on my interview. Even though the officers asked me some questions I was not prepared for, I knew how to think with my answers and what they were looking for, and I was not very nervous. The one note for this book is that your local testing process may be easier than that Mr. Jetmore lays out -- it depends on where you are applying. I am going for LAPD and their written test and physical test are both much easier. However, it is far better to be over-prepared than not ready! This book will also help you if you are not quite sure if you want to be a cop or not. I recommend it. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful:  Complete Information, By Jiffy (Bermuda) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Police Officer Examination Preparation Guide: The Path of the Warrior (Cliffs Test Prep) (Paperback) This book contains exactly what it says it does. The general info is presented in an interesting way so it makes for an easy and informative read.
I'm not sure how useful test preps are for police exams as the exams test a general approach to policing rather than specific knowledge. The author's comments for each answer profide information about what approach to take and what things to consider when answering so I felt like I was getting great direction. However my results for the subsequent tests dropped a point each time, so I might have been better off trying not to overanalyze each response. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: Great Preparation Reference, By Jim Geeting "Author of 'The Badge: Thoughts F... (Rock Springs, WY) - See all my reviews This review is from: Police Officer Examination Preparation Guide: The Path of the Warrior (Cliffs Test Prep) (Paperback) This is a great general purpose prep for the general knowledge needed for effective police work.
A candidate will get the help needed, but still, they must study long and hard. Good luck to all future heroes!The Badge: Thoughts from a State Trooper |
