Corrections Officer - How to Ensure You Pass the Pre-Employment Examination the First Time

In order to become a Corrections Officer, you must first pass the pre-employment examination. The pre-employement exam is one of those necessary evils that are part of the application process. As a result, the Corrections Officer exam comes into play.

How can you ensure you pass the Correctional Officer test? The answer is preparation. This exam is unlike any other test out there. Therefore, it is highly suggested, even by most hiring agencies, to get some practice with the types of questions that will be on your examination.

With so many different study guides out there, how do you pick out the one that is most likely to help you pass the Corrections Officer test? The answer to that question is what this review is all about.

Our team reviewed several Corrections Officer study guides. Here is what we can tell you.

First, make sure the study guide you choose comes with practice problems. In order to pass this test, you need to get some “hands on” experience trying to solve problems that will be on your examination. Therefore, make sure the study guide you purchase includes practice problems.

Secondly, make sure you choose a study guide that has a discussion section. Meaning, make sure that the study guide not only gives you practice problems, but also includes some discussion about the exam. This is especially important because you do not just want a bunch of problems to solve. You also will need some discussion about how to solve them. And you will need some discussion about the test in general. Therefore, make sure the study guide you choose has both practice problems and some general discussion about the examination.

Thirdly, remember that you probably get what you pay for. Many correctional officer exams study guides cost between $10 to over $100 dollars. It is our suggestion to pick out one that cost between thirty and sixty dollars. That price range seems to have the highest quality study guides.

Lastly, remember to make sure the study guide you choose is up to date. Many publications are three, five or ten years old. These older Correctional Officer test study guides may be outdated. So make sure you choose a study guide that has been published recently. That way you can be sure you are getting the most relevant and up to date study material.

Again, our team reviewed several study guides. Next, we identified the three most important items you should look for before purchasing. Make sure the one that you buy meets all three of the above criteria and you should be fine.
