Customer Reviews

Good investment.

Yes a lot of what is in this book is on the free online guide. But this comes with additional Q & A's, and the more prep the better. $3 to buy this book used, that could help you get a 100k a year job, I would say your stupid if you don't spend the money.

GREAT BOOK PASSED EXAM

THANKS TO THIS BOOK FINALY PASSED THE BORDER PATROL EXAM AND LEAVE FOR TRAINING NEXT MONTH. YEAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Great Book!!!!!!

This is a great book for those who want to pass the Border Patrol Exam. My husband bought this book one month before the test and our first language is Spanish. The Comprehension part of this book is excellent. My husband studied day and night in his free time out of work and I am glad to say it was not a waste of time. He took the test 2 weeks ago and he past it with an 82% and I am very proud of him because after all the time he spent studying he made it. Of course the real test will never be revealed but the examples these people give in this book are very alike. THE KEY OF ALL THESE IS TO STUDY HARD, VERY HARD AND TO BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.

This is the UPDATED VERSION

From the editor: This version, published in October 2006, is the updated version. It was actually edited by a former U.S. Border Patrol Agent (13 years) as opposed to previous editions edited (and compiled) by people outside the field of law enforcement altogether. The beginning chapters, which cover basic information on the agency, entry requirements, job conditions, academy experience, probationary periods, life as an agent, and other critical information are far more comprehensive than previous editions. This is information every applicant or potential applicant needs to know before making a decision to apply for the Border Patrol; the good, bad, and the ugly. No book will pass a test for you. However, the Learning Express System is well tested with proven results. Many current agents have utilized this book when applying and testing for the Border Patrol. Combine the comprehnsive agency information and learning system, and you simply have an authoritative text on the subject matter.

Buy the blue one!

Until the third edition comes out (and that could be a while since this one is fairly new), this edition is the most up to date one available! The first edition still contains the old vocabulary portion which has been eliminated from the current Border Patrol test. If you wish to study the vocabulary section, I would recommend buying both books, but this is simply NOT necessary. This book gives you study tips, very realistic practice tests, and it helps you to find your weaker areas. Buy the blue one!Ray Harris
