                                                             IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW:

The flash cards and other study material are not intended to replace reading the actual textbooks. They are designed to serve as an aid in memorizing and learning key information. There is no substitute for actually reading the textbooks. The flash cards and study aids will aid you in memorizing key areas of the textbooks and they can play a major role in helping you quickly, easily and significantly improve your score.  Our supplemental study materials only cover facts, methods and procedures, alomng with other topics that have been tested on the Massachusetts Civil Service Promotional exam.  Other topics can only be learned by reading the actual text books.                                                                           
                                                                    READING LIST

The actual reading list for the Massachusetts civil service sergeant, lieutenant, and captain exam is generally posted in April by the Human Resources Division.  Our materials are based on the most recent posted reading list.  The Human Resources Division occasionally changes the reading list and we cannot guarantee that the materials covered will be on the reading list for your exam.  All sales for materials, seminars, and services are final.  We cannot offer refunds for any reason.


                                                FOCUS YOUR ENERGY IN THE RIGHT PLACE

Generally, 70 to 80% of the exam questions surround the textbooks. The vast majority of your time and energy should be focused on the textbooks. Most experienced police officers can answer the majority of the legal questions with little or no studying. Once you have the books mastered use the remaining time to review the law. We recommend that the best way to prepare for the exam is to do the following:

1. Read a chapter in the textbook
2. Answer the questions in the study guide of the corresponding chapter
3. Review the flash cards of the corresponding chapter
4. Go onto the next chapter and follow steps 1, 2 & 3
5. Continue to review flash cards of previous chapters so you retain the information
6. When the book is complete listen to the audio CD of the same book at your leisure, such as commuting to work, while on patrol, running on the treadmill etc.
7. Go onto next book and follow steps 1 through 7 until all books are complete
8. Once all books are read continue reviewing study guides, flash cards and audio CD's You will soon master the material and be well prepared for the exam.
