Border Patrol Exam

There are other study guides available through Amazon.com, but they are extremely out of date and should not be used. This is the ONLY current study that I have knowledge of. I am the webmaster of The UnOfficial Border Patrol Hiring Web Site (use your search engine and look for "border patrol employment"), so I know of what I speak.

This is a great book for those who want to pass the Border Patrol Exam. My husband bought this book one month before the test and our first language is Spanish. The Comprehension part of this book is excellent. My husband studied day and night in his free time out of work and I am glad to say it was not a waste of time. He took the test 2 weeks ago and he past it with an 82% and I am very proud of him because after all the time he spent studying he made it. Of course the real test will never be revealed but the examples these people give in this book are very alike. THE KEY OF ALL THESE IS TO STUDY HARD, VERY HARD AND TO BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.

From the editor:

This version, published in October 2006, is the updated version. It was actually edited by a former U.S. Border Patrol Agent (13 years) as opposed to previous editions edited (and compiled) by people outside the field of law enforcement altogether. The beginning chapters, which cover basic information on the agency, entry requirements, job conditions, academy experience, probationary periods, life as an agent, and other critical information are far more comprehensive than previous editions. This is information every applicant or potential applicant needs to know before making a decision to apply for the Border Patrol; the good, bad, and the ugly.

No book will pass a test for you. However, the Learning Express System is well tested with proven results. Many current agents have utilized this book when applying and testing for the Border Patrol. Combine the comprehnsive agency information and learning system, and you simply have an authoritative text on the subject matter.


Excellent preparation for a challenging exam.   August 7, 2000
As a recent applicant to the U.S. Border Patrol, I know that the Border Patrol Exam can be tough. If you need to prepare for the exam, this is the best test-prep book available. The book includes three full-length exams -- a diagnostic test and 2 practice tests -- that were extremely useful in helping me pinpoint areas to study. I also found the review chapters to be very useful: the book has a full chapter devoted to each section of the exam. I know that other amazon.com users have criticized the vocabulary section of this book, but I think that those reviewers are a bit misguided: no test prep book can tell you exactly which vocabulary words will appear on an exam (the exam makers do not, of course, release such information); the best any book can do is help you improve you basic vocabulary skills and teach you ways to approach vocabulary questions. Although the vocabulary chapter in this book is brief, it deals with the important stuff: word roots, suffixes, and other things you can use to help break down words you don't know. On the whole, you can't find a better book than this one to prepare for the Border Patrol exam.
