Test Guides
Find your building and safety jobs test guides for the civil service test here.
Location specific study guides are only available for a limited number of government agencies. If you can’t find one for the agency you’re applying to, no worry. For most jobs titles, the duties don’t vary significantly by location. Consider another guide with a similar job title or in the same field.
Even if you don’t find a guide, you can create your own study plan. Find help for specific subjects including verbal, comprehension, word problems, writing, customer service, math, and reasoning.
