www.PostalExam.comExam Format UpdateThe Postal Service began converting all its exams from paper & pencil tests to electronic in late 2008. Bylate 2009, when this guide was published, all tests except exam 710 had been converted. The 710 examwas still a paper & pencil test as of the publish date of this guide.They were holding the 710 until last because it is the least used of all Postal exams. Test 710 is primarilyused at only two sites Salt Lake City, UT and Wichita, KS. All the other exams are used nationwide. Forthis reason, they did not feel compelled to rush the conversion of exam 710 to an electronic testExam 710 will eventually be converted to an electronic test. Depending upon how far the Postal Servicehas progressed with its conversions when you take the exam, it may or may not be electronic. But even ifthe exam you take is electronic, this guide will still provide 100% effective test preparation.You see, in every case when they have converted a paper & pencil test to an electronic exam, the contentstayed the same. They did not change anything about the questions or answers. The only differences arethat (1) you read the questions on a computer monitor rather than on a piece of paper and (2) you chooseanswers by clicking a computer mouse rather than by marking with a pencil. Therefore, even if you takethe exam on a computer, everything in this guide is 100% accurate and effective except for references tomarking with a pencil.As the Postal Service has changed its exams to electronic, they have also been adding a personalityprofile section to each of them. This is basically a psychological test to assure that you are not a nut case.Again, depending upon how far the have progressed with their conversions when you take the exam, youmay or may not be required to take the personality profile section.A more detailed discussion of the variables you may experience follows.Paper & Pencil Test without the Personality Profile SectionIf you take the original paper & pencil test without the Personality Profile section, it will be formatted preciselylike the practice tests in this guide. Taking the real test will be exactly like taking one of these practice exams.Paper & Pencil Test with the Personality Profile SectionDepending upon how far they have progressed when you take the exam, it is possible that you may beasked to take the computerized Personality Profile section before taking paper & pencil version of the test.If so, you will be instructed to take the Personality Profile section on your own without supervision. You willuse your own computer or any convenient computer (at a friend’s house, at the library, etc.).This section, actually called the Personal Characteristics and Experience Inventory section, consists of over100 questions that you answer by simply stating how it applies to you. For some questions the answerchoices might be “Strongly Agree”, “Agree”, “Disagree”, and “Strongly Disagree”. For other questions thechoices may be “Very Often”, “Often”, “Sometimes”, and “Rarely or Never”. For yet others the choices couldbe “All of the above”, “None of the above”, “Two of the above”, etc. In every case you choose the answerthat best reflects your opinion, belief, or experience with the topic discussed.Copyright 2009 by Pathfinder Distributing Inc., P.O.

www.PostalExam.comThere are no right or wrong answers for this section. The answer that best reflects who you are is the rightanswer for you. They will not disclose the scoring formula for this section, but they somehow convert youranswers into a numerical score that indicates what type potential employee you might be.It is not possible to prepare for this section of the exam. The only safe strategy for taking this section is toanswer every question honestly and sincerely. You may be tempted to answer in a fashion that you thinkthey want to hear. But don’t do it! There are built-in indicators that will expose any attempt at manipulation.Computers score the exam, and the computers are programmed to deduct points when any evidence ofmanipulation is suspected. If you attempt to manipulate, you will get caught, and you score will suffer. Youmay think that you can outsmart them, but you cannot.The fastest way to fail this section of the exam is to manipulate the answers in a fashion you think theywant to hear. And by the way, if you fail this section, you fail period. You don’t even get to take the rest ofthe test unless you pass this section. You must answer honestly and sincerely!Electronic TestHere’s what to expect if they have fully converted the 710 to an electronic test when you take it First you will take the Personality Profile on your own just as described above. If you pass the Personality Profile, you will be scheduled to take the electronic exam at a supervisedtest site equipped with many computers so a number of applicants can be tested simultaneously. The electronic test will be formatted like the practice tests in this guide. The sections, the timing, the typeof questions, the type of answer choices, etc. will be just like the practice tests in this guide. As explainedbefore, the only difference is that you will read the questions on a computer monitor, and you willselect answers by clicking with a computer mouse. Therefore this guide provides 100% effective preparation of either the paper or the electronic test.Copyright 2009 by Pathfinder Distributing Inc., P.O.

www.PostalExam.comIntroductionExam 710 consists of two major segments - the Clerical Abilities segment and the Verbal Abilities segment.These two major segments are in turn each broken down into several smaller sections. The final part of theexam is the answer sheet where you mark your answers. To see samples of these parts of the exam, turnto one of the complete practice tests in this guide.As we prepare for the exam, we will use a proven military strategy that never fails Divide and Conquer!If we divide the exam into its individual sections and master each section individually, we cannot help butsucceed on the exam as a whole.Specifically, we will (1) review information and test taking tips that apply to the exam as a whole, (2) examinethe content of the exam section by section; (3) learn particular test taking strategies for each section; and(4) master the speed and skills needed to excel on each section by using the practice tests in this guide.Practice is the most important element of your test preparation. You can learn everything there is to knowabout the exam, but if you do not practice to master the speed and skills demanded, you have gainednothing at all. And, it is imperative that you practice realistically - meaning that you time yourself preciselyas you practice. Most sections of exam 710 are rigidly timed speed tests. The speed demanded is incredible.The only way to master the speed required is to time yourself precisely as you practice.Overview of Exam 710Test Day Preparations1. Get a good night’s sleep and have a light nutritious meal before the exam.2. Do not drink too many liquids before the test. Do visit the restroom before starting your test. This maysound trivial, but it may literally make the difference between success and failure. The exam generallylasts over two hours, and you are not allowed to leave the exam room during the test. You surely willnot perform well if forced to take the exam under uncomfortable and distracting conditions.3. Dress in layers so that you can comfortably tolerate extreme temperatures in the exam room by addingor removing layers of clothing. I have gone to summer testing events dressed in light clothing only tofreeze in the exam room due the air conditioning system. I have gone to winter testing events dressedin warm clothing only to be roasted in the exam room due to a supercharged heating system.4. Leave home early, and plan to arrive at the test site early. Allow time for any conceivable delays (autoproblems, traffic congestion, etc.) that you can possibly imagine.5. Bring pencils - #2 lead pencils - as instructed in your scheduling packet. Usually there are plenty ofextra pencils made available at the test site, but don’t automatically assume that such will be true. If youdon’t bring your own pencils, and if they don’t provide any for you, how can you take the test?6. Work diligently on each section of the test until you are instructed to stop. Every second counts. If youfinish before time is called, go back to check your answers in that section, but only in that section. Donot ever open your test booklet to a section other than the one where you are supposed to be workingat that particular moment. Turning to any section other than the one where you are supposed to beworking at that particular moment is grounds for disqualification.7. On a related topic, do not ever open your test booklets or pick up your pencil until you are instructedto do so. Likewise, immediately stop working, close your test booklets, and put down your pencil uponbeing instructed to do so. Failure to comply may look like an attempt to cheat and may cause you tobe disqualified.Copyright 2009 by Pathfinder Distributing Inc., P.O.

www.PostalExam.comGeneral Test Taking TipsSuccessful test preparation calls for knowledge of exam content, test taking strategies, up-to-date practicetests, and commitment. This guide provides everything but the commitment. Thorough and complete testpreparation demands dedication, effort, and a drive to succeed.Following are important points of which you should be aware as you begin your preparation: When you take the real exam, and likewise when you take the practice tests in this guide, in every caseyou will be working with two 8-1/2” X 11” booklets or pages (the very size of this page when printed).One is the test booklet containing the questions. The other is the answer sheet booklet. All questions are multiple choice, and the answers are always in the form of a letter - A, B, C, D, or E. Youmark answers on the answer sheet by darkening the oval containing the correct answer or letter.To increase your speed and to avoid getting out of order as you move back and forth between the questionbooklet and the answer sheet booklet, the booklets should be placed as close together as possible at alltimes. If both booklets are fully opened, you are working with at least 11” X 34” of paper spread out on topof your table as pictured in the below illustration. The questions and answer spots are so far apart thaterrors can easily happen.Your first strategy to avoid this problem is to fold the booklets in half at the stapled seams and place thefolded booklets next to each other. This one step cuts the distance between questions and answers by half.Flip the folded booklets over as needed and as you progress through the exam. Then, depending on thepositions of the questions and answers, you can usually even lay one booklet partially on top the other, aspictured in the below illustration. Now the questions and answers may be only a few inches apart. Thisbrings the questions and answer sheet very close together for greater speed and accuracy.Another strategy to avoid getting out of order is to use one of your spare pencils, the side of your hand, oryour finger(s) to guide your eyes back and forth between the test booklet and the answer sheet. In essence,you are using one of these items to mark your spot and track your progress as you race through the test.You may even be able to use the top edge of your answer sheet as a guide. But, do not use any thing else(like a ruler or a piece of scrap paper) for a guide when you practice at home. It may be easier, but you willnot have access to tools like these when taking the actual test.Copyright 2009 by Pathfinder Distribut
