Civil service exam

Math Test Questions

Civil service tests may only be given periodically and sometimes only as often as every two years.  Civil service tests are timed tests.  Your test score is the difference between a government job with job security, a good salary and great benefits or waiting to take the test again.  

If one or more of the following describe you, invest in an inexpensive guide: 

  •  I haven’t taken a test in a long time.
  •  I don’t know what to expect.
  •  I’m not a good test taker.

The more you practice, the more comfortable and better prepared you’ll be.
