    When you registered for the test, they should have given you a test prep. If not here is a link that should help you.

    It won't allow me to cut and past the url for the study guide. But it is on the CBP.gov website.

    Their website offers a study guide. Beyond that why would I help a competitor? :D


    Good luck ;)

    The test is five sections logic reasoning, math, grammar/sentence structure, then two sections of personality test. Just review the study guides as much as possible and you should do fine.

    The place you indicated is the place you will be testing for, and if you pass and make it through everything, that will be the place they call your name to. Even if for example, you're number 1 on AZ's list, but in CA they have 20 open slots they can't fill; according to the advertisement, you are SOL and have to wait for a slot in AZ.

    If you want to change your geographic preference just reapply. You can also change it once you receive a NOR. However, once you receive a TO your locked in.
