Customer Reviews

Helpful to a point

The book is helpful in that it does give you insight into what you can expect to see on the test. It has several practice tests which i found very helpful. Memorization techniques are somewhat helpful, but it's still hard to use the methods for memorization. All in all it will give you a little confidence & a few pointers to help you with this test. I haven't received my score yet, but I know it wouldn't have been as good as it will be without having this book.

Great Book

This book was a great reference for taking the postal service exam. I know I wouldn't have been as confident about taking the exam without having the practice this book provides.

Two thumbs up

After trying to take the test on my own with no guidence, and no higher grade than a 79.0%, after three attempts. I picked up the book U.S. Postal Exams "How to score a 95%-100%" as my final attempt. No other book on the shelf had a title that just jumped right out at me like this book did. I received my results and I scored a 95.6 for clerk, and a 98.0 for carrier. I was hired for the position of automation clerk. Ive been with the Postal service for two years now, and making close to 45k this year. Everyone taking the postal test should own this book. From cover to cover the book "U.S. postal exams" provides you with excellent stategies, very easy to read, bold print, plenty of practice tests, and much humor.I'm writting not to praise myself at a high mark I accomplished. But to say thankyou to the author, your a genius.

This is the best postal exam book!

The Book of U.S. Postal Exams is an excellent book!. For instance, the 470 Battery Test is the exam for seven positions: city carrier; rural carrier; mail handler; mark-up clerk,automated; mail processor; flat-sorting machine operator; and distribution clerk, machine. And 460 exam is for associate rural carrier.I got a very high score on the 470 Battery Test and expected to be called for employment soon. Strategies for the answering the address checking and the memory-for-address test are very effective. I especially liked the techniques for scoring high on the memory-for-address test, which is very hard if you don't know the techniques.The book was recommended to me by a librarian-friend who told me that it's the most commonly-read exam book from our local library. It's best to ask your local librarian about it. This book is really loaded with tips, techniques, and strategies. No other book on postal exams can beat it! (I've seen other postal exams.) --Megan Seiber
