We do not recommend study guides because many of them are compilations of many different civil service exams in one book and the materials can also be outdated. Each agency or department gives a different type of exam, so if you a purchasing a study guide for “Police Officer” then that book can have sample test questions from Police Exams around the county rather than specifically New York, and it may not apply to the exam that you are trying to prepare for because each police exam is different.
We provide our students with booklets full of exam practice questions and helpful information on each day of class.

Usually you won’t hear anything from the agency in which you are taking the exam until about 2 to 3 weeks before the exam itself. You should receive a letter in the mail from the appropriate agency telling you when and where to appear, what to bring and what not to bring with you to the exam, etc. If you do not hear anything 2 weeks before the exam we recommend calling the appropriate agency so they may mail or email you a new notice.
