Ma CS exam study materials

5937 Views 38 Replies 12 Participants Last post by  Delta784
Does anyone know of any prep worthy study guides for the upcoming CS exam? I took a seminar this year and they gave out some example cognitive questions, ie; info ordering, deductive reasoning. I already finished the guide and just wanted some extra practice. Most of the study guides in the stores are geared towards vocab, memorization, and spacial orientation, none of which make up the Ma exam.

Thanks!

CS is tough to study for, like mentioned in another thread, you have what they want or you don't. Compare the test now with its "life experience survey" section asking you if you've raised your voice at work to the older 100 question straight forward test. As a recent tester from Sep, I would say stick to consistency in your answers and have a grasp on basic reasoning. That's all I got because I'm not a LEO yet and you're my competitive enemy until then!! ;)

A study guide for CS exam? IMO either you have the smarts and mental state or you don't. Show up drunk for the exam. I heard that works.

It probably couldn't hurt. My strategy for writing school papers is one beer per page. It's worked out quite well for me, but you just have to go proofread it the next morning and take out all the profanity before sending it.

Here ya go... This "study guide" only gives you examples of questions to expect. This is from the official Mass.gov site. http://www.mass.gov/anf/docs/hrd/cs/publications/policeofficer/poxmguide2013.pdf

Anyone get confirmation including test site? Did you get an email saying you paid?

I got one email saying I registered but still had to pay.
I then paid, but never got a confirmation about payment.
CS said I should have gotten payment confirmation.
Correspondence will be sent out April 6th... Latest April 8th.

I got my payment confirmation about a minute after I paid.
Not sure I'm pretty sure I paid but now I don't know
Just checked, I received a payment confirmation, that's it.
