I bought this book for my son who has entered the police academy at the age of 20. He has always had trouble testing as he blanks out and gets nervous. There is no room for lacking grades in this academy as the lowest score can only be an 80% with only one retest allowed. He failed the first test by 2 points. That’s when we bought your study book.
The academics are hard learning all the laws and statutes; the days are long starting class at 6:00 and finishing at 17:00 and a very hard physical training at the end of the day in the high heat.
After focusing on the main ideas in your book, telling your friends don't call till the weekend, I need to study every night, getting with other students to find out what works for them and forming study groups with them - things have seemed to change.
My son feels more confident before each test, takes his time using the allotted time for the test, leaves the questions he is not sure of and goes back. The new result is he has the second highest grade in the class for last two tests.
Hopefully I am not tooting his horn too early but I think if he continues to focus and continues these new learned habits he will be fine. I am glad I found your book as it as sure made a difference in my son’s study habits.
He has learned that just reading the book or any book is not the answer - you must apply what you read.
