I’ve taken several firefighter civil service exams in the past, but never "studied" for them because the information topics were so easy. However, this was my first run at a police exam, and I had heard that they include memorization pieces and a few more difficult topics.
Boy am I glad I did! There are 4 practice tests, and the initial diagnostic test really opened my eyes to just how picky and tricky these questions can be. I’m normally an extremely good test-taker, but this book showed me the sly ways questions can be tweaked with just a simple word change.
Upon taking my actual exam, I was pleasantly surprised – All of the practice tests in this book are 150 questions long, my exam was only 75. The memorization exercises showed me that it wasn’t as scary as I previously thought.
My real exam actually lacked a lot of what this book prepares you for (facial recognition, grammar testing, sentence ordering) so if anything, I was OVER-prepared.
Bottom line is this – if you’re serious about a police career and want to do well on the exam, going through every page of this book can only help you – and for only $13 it’s a steal.
Best of luck!
Gives you samples of what’s to come on the exam. I passed my oral and written test this passed week.
This book is very informative and was exactly what I was looking for. The helpful hints and up to date exam questions are very useful. Download Barron’s Police Officer Exam, 9th Edition 9th Edition Free PDF

For those of you looking for "The Developing Person Through the Lifespan" 9th Ed, this is it! It is a loose leaf version, meaning that it has NO binding but it has 3 holes so you can put it in a sturdy binder. While that may be a deterrent for some, price-wise this was a win for me!
This new version came out this year so my professor decided to change his class to what is in this new edition. Bummer for me since renting the 8th edition from was only going to cost $30. Now I was looking at renting it for $100 on or paying $180+ to buy. Neither choice appealed to me so when I found the looseleaf I jumped on the deal. I mean, if Im going to pay $100 to rent, might as well cough up another $20 to own it, right? With no photo though I was hesitant to do it. Luckily for me it’s EXACTLY what I need and I saved some cash.
So if you are looking for this book for your Psychology class and don’t want to pay more than you have to, get this! Just get a sturdy binder and be sure to pass along this knowledge so your fellow classmates dont have to keep lining the pockets of the authors of these overpriced books!
The pages for Chapter 7 and some of Chapter 8 are all folded and stuck together. The content is nice, but the print job was not well done for such an expensive book that was purchases brand new.
This book has been revised so many times that it appears the formatting of lists and detailed information has been forgotten. On several occasions, there are lists of two items in the text, then in the questions it will ask for three items for that topic. The writing is too chatty in places, and vague or repetitive in others. The information is muddled in far too many layers of explanation.
There is far too much in the way of social commentary as well. Although I think I agree with the author’s opinions, there is no need for them in this text. Her addition of that kind of commentary makes this book about 30% longer than it could be and probably make more sense.
The book also appears to be trying to reach out to more different fields than is practical. Questions in the margin are directed to law enforcement, teachers, nurses, medical personnel, psychiatrists, judges, public servants of all sorts, etc., etc., etc.
As an older student, I find this text extraordinarily frustrating to have to work with. If the questions on my tests are based on the questions in the book, and the questions in the book are very poorly written, or based on partial information in the text, that affects my grade. I am not exactly pleased with that outcome. I’ve been trained to design evaluation material, and know I could do much better writing this text.

I find this to be the most detailed veterinary guide, short of buying a veterinary encyclopedia. Of the several I own, most are very general and have a lot of "ask you veterinarian for a course of action." This one tells you the most common treatments so you know what to expect. I go back to my dog-eared copy all the time. As I back-yard breeder, I like Giffin’s veterinary breeder’s guide, too.
As a first-horse owner, this text was a whole lot more than I needed or wanted to know. For the horse owner who is serious about learning as much as possible about health care problems and how to treat these problems themselves, the book is a winner and probably unique. However, for someone who likes to rely on his/her vet for anything more than the usual maintenance procedures (deworming, treating minor cuts, etc.) and doesn’t foresee giving his/her horse injections and the like or treating fairly serious illnesses, a less complete book would be sufficient and much less daunting. Probably an excellent reference for students of equine health and for those who would like to become vets themselves one day.
Great book!! four hooves way up.. I have a equine science classes and I use this book for research and just to help me better understand the problems and cures for horse problems… Its like a horse vet bible.. easy to read with great pictures..
