Customer Reviews

I'm living proof it works!

I used this book. I took the 473 C exam. I got a very good score. I got called in for an interview about 3 months after getting my test results back. Make no mistake about it that you need to score very well to be where i am and the only way to do that is by preparing for the test. Don't expect to do well by just showing up on test date and "giving your best effort". This is not that type of test. It's the type of test where practice is the key. And this book is by far the best study guide for the 473 exam. It's not even close. I tried a few others and it's blatantly obvious how little they know do about the ins and outs of this test. The author has personally taken this test dozens of times and his knowledge of the postal office and how it operates in general is very deep. So if you are serious about getting a great score on this exam, you need to get this book.

Helpful book for 473 Exam preparation

This book helps prepare you for every section of the 473 and 473-C Postal Exam. The toughest section of the exam is the address memory section. This book provides a great strategy for this part of the test. I only had 2 days to prepare using this book and it worked for me.

Good study guide

Nice book really told it how it was although I am not so sure about the method for the memorizing part that is something you have to find your own niche. Good book I scored well on the first attempt it was worth the money.

USE 4 RESULTS!

This book has 6 sample tests exactly like the postal test answer sheets and all. It has excellent tips and techniques that apply specifically to the 473/473c test. I only bought the book. The book was a Godsend and is a must buy for any 473/473c test taker. I was able to answer all the questions on the 473 test with time to go back and check some answers on all sections. I couldn't have done it without this book! I was more than prepared. :) The is the best studyguide and is much better than the rest! I know I bought another by Arco called, "Postal Exams" and it was not as good as this one.

Updated to the New December 2004 Test

The Postal Exam 473 (and the same test with a different number 473-C) is the brand new (December 2004) standard test used by the Postal Service to fill all fulltime Processing, Distribution, Delivery, and Retail Postal jobs. While the test is like a lot of other standardized tests, it has been specially written for the Postal Service. It has specialized parts that directly relate to Postal services such as tests that have to do with route sorting mail, memory tests that are based on ZIP Codes and addresses, and filling out forms that are specific to the Postal Service. This book is produced in three versions to suit your study preferences. These are: The Original Postal Exam 473 & 473-C Study Guide -- This version is text only. It has reference material and sample exams with many test taking tips. Complete Postal Exam 473 & 473-C Training Program with 2 Test Prep Audio CD's -- This is the same book, but two audio CD's read it to you while you follow along in the book. Using two senses, eyes and ears increase the retention of information. New Postal Exam 473 & 473-C Computer-Based Course -- This is again the same book, but there is a CD that contains both test prep classes and realiztic practice exams, you'll need an internet ready PC with Windows to use this version.
