Just wondering which class has helped you best with this test ? Besides rising star packets etc. . I know some people took key. Others elite. Or both. And even the nypd study guides from intranet ..
which did you guys think helped you the most for this test ?
Everything helped a little. There were a lot of questions I never would have thought to study and no school prepared me for, but there were others that I barely got and would have missed without the schools.
Rising Star LBB was spot on. Key App and 2011 rewrite was good with judgement. Elite was good with the fill-ins, had to actually know stuff instead of guessing on a multiple choice. The KSA was a real mindfvck, but strangely probably the closest to the actual exam out of all of them just because they were so ridiculous and cheesy.
Also Academy material (thanks Brat) was useful. The questions were good and probably what a real test would have looked like, but the real usefulness came with the packets, most of it was word for word out of the PG with all the fluff cut out, not abbreviations like the Key or only "important" procedures like Elite.
