Booklets coincide with various areas listed on civil service announcements under "Subject of Examinations."  Please read your examination notice to determine the "Subject of Examination" topics of the exam and therefore which of the Test Prep Books you will need.

Each book is a large file of 50 to 60 or more pages; use a high speed internet connection such as in an office to download and print. If you can print to a copier/printer, try printing them double-sided. 
You can download the booklets by clicking the blue banner below.
