Summary

Updated to reflect the test battery as it is currently given to all United States military service recruits, this manual presents review courses in all test subjects and four(?) full-length practice exams with all questions answered and explained. Subjects reviewed include general science, arithmetic reasoning, word knowledge, paragraph reading comprehension, numerical operations, coding speed, auto and shop information, math knowledge, mechanical comprehension, and fundamentals of electronics. In addition, the test's general structure is described, and effective study guidelines are suggested. The book features all new graphics and dramatically improved page layouts. The optional CD-ROM simulates the actual Computer Adaptive Test as it is currently given to recruits at armed forces testing centers.
