Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Shocking errors and misprintsIt is quite unbelievable that a book intended to prepare you for one of the most highly competitive recruitment schemes has so many spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, inaccuracies and misprints. The book only offers two real practice tests of each type for Fast Stream entrance, and it is noticeable that several of the answers given as correct are plainly wrong. Some questions are carelessly constructed (as if taken from the context of another test) and many have been recycled from previous editions ...

First, not enough explanation is given to the answers, especially as regards the Analysis of Information test. Second, and more importantly, some of the answers provided are incorrect. This is, in some cases, due to the fact that some of the questions ... Read More Rating: - Essential but with shortcomingsThis book would be better entitled "(How to) Practice for the Civil Service Qualifying Tests". I am using this book with a view to taking the Faststream Qualifying Test. While it offers a good number of essential practice questions and answers, and also provides advice on practicing for, and taking, the tests, it has shortcomings. It does not offer full explanations for most of the answers to the test questions (unlike the obligatory Practice Qualifying Test downloadable from the Faststream website once you have registered). ...
