Postal exams are rather difficult for those who have not practiced the various drills present on the exam. Do not expect to score high or even pass the test if you have not practiced prior to taking the exam. There are a variety of postal study guides available at local bookstores and on the Internet that contain information, tips, tricks, and practice exams that can give you the edge in obtaining the postal job that you want. Listed to the left are some of the latest postal guides now available at Amazon.com - offered in association with PostalMag.com.

You should purchase the appropriate guide at least a month prior to your scheduled test. Take a practice test each night and (after 30 days) you will be well prepared by the time of your test. Believe it or not, many if not most of the applicants at the test with you will not have practiced, giving you the edge and quite probably one of the highest scores. The smartest individual in the examination room, regardless of IQ, is the one that has practiced, practiced, and practiced. Good luck!

(We can't guarantee that you will score higher using the above method. However, this advice worked for PostalMag.com owner Tom Wakefield. About 30 days before his postal exam, Tom bought a postal exam study guide and practiced a test each night. He scored 100 on the test and was hired soon after!)
