To be honest, when you sign up for the border patrol exam they send you a study guide. The practice tests in both books are the same test and most of the information are in both books as well. The study guide comes through the mail free also. One ok thing about the book was that it gave a little more insight into what the job is about where the study guide didnt have any info about the job at all.

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

I bought this review guide 2 weeks prior to the Border Patrol Exam for the sole purpose of "fine tuning" my speed and accuracy with the Practice Exams, and, unfortunately, I was very disappointed to find that it had too many errors. Explanations for the correct and wrong answers were vague. Many times they didnt make sense. Also, the spanish review was terribly written. Wrong use of verbs, sentence structure, etc. Its unbelievable that this "updated" edition is being sold as is. Save your money. Heck, for all I know I shouldve just reviewd LSAT Logical Reasoning questions. But I'm still glad that I passed with a high score without the help of this study guide. Good luck on your test! :)

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.

If you are a horrible test taker and know nothing about the Border Patrol you may find this book somewhat useful. However, if your test taking skills are adequate and you have already read up on the Border Patrol this book is a waste of money. I bought this book to use the practice exams to gauge my speed and technique. The book let me down terribly as there was no apparent editing of the tests in the back and they are full of errors. Once again if you are looking to get this book to practice with the tests it is a waste of money.
