Summary: Gives you a start
Review: I just wish I had read all these reviews before purchasing this book. I just took the TEA and am in shock. This book in no way prepares you for the math and even the verbal reasoning doesn't match up to what is actually on the TEA exam. I hate to admit this, but because of relying on this study guide alone, I have probably blown my one and only chance to become an ATF Agent. Don't waste your time with this book.

Summary: Don't rely on this book if you want to pass the TEA exam!

Summary: Use it only for the non-math portions of the exam.
Review: I would echo the sentiments of other reviewers that this is a good study guide for every portion of the TEA Exam EXCEPT the math portion. The math portion of the actual exam is at about the same level of difficulty as the math on the GMAT and GRE exams. Use a study guide for those exams to prepare for the math portion of the TEA.
Rating:
Summary: No Math!
Review: If you plan on passing the math section of the TEA, and want to use this study guide as a gage...don't! The math from this book did, in no way prepare you for the test. The other two sections were adequate.

Summary: Not Worth the Money
Review: If you plan on spending loads of money for airfare and a hotel in order to get to the TEA test location, save some of the money by not buying this book. The practice exams were fairly simple and the math section was completely unrealistic compared to the actual test. I am by no means a math wizard, but this book portrayed the math section as one of mostly very basic math. The actual test is 10x harder! Ill be buying ARCO's guide (US Marshal test book) for the next time. Several people told me after the exam Arco's math section closely resembled the actual test.

Summary: Very Unrealistic!
Review: It's more like 1.5 stars. This book gives a general outline of the exam, but don't be fooled, the verbal reasoning on the actual exam is not as easy as the book. There are more complex questions. Also, the math section of the book is NOTHING like the exam; the exam has much more complex word problems. The questions for investigation portion of the book is probably the most accurate. Overall way too easy and unrealistic!

Summary: This book is VERY unrealistic!
Review: Lucky for me, I passed the exam...but not without an entire month spent worrying, because I was not fully prepared for this test. The book is good to get used to the format of the exam, but the questions are about half as difficult as the real ones, especially the math section. If it wasn't for the fact that I am a math/computer science major I would have never passed! I went into the exam with a false sense of confidence because of this book. My suggestion, use the other TEA exam book (white cover), I heard it is much better. I would normally never write a review like this, I am just looking out for others who have a dream of becoming a federal agent.Good Luck!

Summary: Misleading
Review: Poorly written examinations guide. I found it misleading because it did not reflect accurately the reading comprehensive and math sections. If candidates are looking for a study guide then I strongly recommend another text.
Rating:
Summary: A complete waste of time!
Review: The actual exam was much harder than any of the practice tests. I aced every practice test in this book and most likely failed the actual exam. Spend your money elsewhere.
