Obsolete Postal Job & Exam Guides
Due to recent Postal hiring and testing revisions, obsolete Post Office job/exam guides are a massive problem. Before buying or using any Postal exam study guide, check the following items closely to assure that it is truly up-to-date.
These exams, now used to fill over 95% of all Postal jobs, were recently changed big time. Two former sections were removed, and three new sections were added. Plus, the remaining original sections were revised.
If a guide includes the two sections that were removed … Check for Errors and What Motivates You … it is obviously obsolete.
And to be truly up-to-date, a guide must include all the sections described on our Exam Revisions page.
The good news is that our test prep guide has been completely updated to reflect these major revisions. The bad news is that all other study guides are now obsolete. None of them include these substantial changes.
ANY GUIDE THAT REFERS TO EXAM 473 IS OBSOLETE
Exam 473 was retired a few years ago and replaced by new exams 474, 475, 476 & 477. Exam 473 was completely and totally different from these new tests. Obsolete guides for old exam 473 cannot prepare you for the new tests in any fashion whatsoever.
Unfortunately, many guides for exam 473 are still being sold. Some are identified as being for exam 473. But in most cases, unethical merchants fraudulently claim these obsolete guides are for the new exams.
If a guide refers to the following exam sections in any way, it is obsolete. These are sections from old exam 473 that no longer exist and that do not appear on any of the new tests.
· Personal Characteristics & Experience Inventory Section
· Address Checking Section
· Forms Completion Section
· Coding Section
· Memory Section
