How to Be a Top Scorer on 473/473-C/460 Tests & Other Postal Exams to Get a Post Office Jobs

Do you think that the most difficult question you will have to answer on Postal exams is what to do if you are attacked by an angry dog? Sorry guys, it's not going to be nearly that simple.

The truth is, Postal exams are killers if you don't know how to take them. Many college graduates fail the tests miserably, while people who barely graduated from high school, (but who know the strategies for making high scores), pass the tests with flying colors.

No amount of education nor a high I.Q. is going to cushion you on these exams.

You might ask, why would they make these tests so hard? Because they want to hire the best people!

Postal jobs are highly sought after for many reasons. For one thing, they pay well for those who can get them. It doesn't matter if you have a Ph.D., if you are 18, or if you are 60. The only sure factor in becoming a postal employee is whether you can pass test with a score of 95-100%.

IF YOU CAN PASS WITH 95-100% SCORES, you will be set to become a postal employee. And with the job will come excellent pay (even beginning postal employees make $25,000 a year), sensational fringe benefits and a retirement package that will have you set for life.

Postal jobs also ensure a great deal of security. They are absolutely recession proof. You will never lose your job due to recession, hurricane, or tornado. These are the most secure jobs you can find.

Also, as inflation rises, bringing your living expenses along with it, your pay will also increase. How many jobs can offer that?

With the SUPERIOR BENEFITS of becoming a postal worker come swarms of people who want these jobs. That is why the postal service can make their exams as difficult as they want. There are so many people taking the tests, they have the option to choose only the top scorers and still fill every position.

WHY DO YOU NEED TO SCORE 95-10-% TO GET A HIGH-PAYING JOB?

Although 70% is a passing score, you want to make 95 to 100% because the Post Office usually hires people who score in that range. To make a high score, you need to know certain tricks of the trade.

WHY DO YOU NEED TO SCORE 95-100%? It’s because the Post Office hires workers from the top of the List of Eligibles: starting from the top of the list (those who got 100%) down to 99, 98, 97, 96 percent, etc. They are the ones who are hired first. If you’ll get scores below 90%, there may be no chance for you to be hired even in two years time. (Exam eligibility is effective up to two years only. After that you have to take another exam or exams).

I'm not basing my knowledge on hearsay. I'm basing it on my own practical experience in taking these exams. I don't want to brag, but I had been among the top scorers on postal exams. I worked for the Post Office for several years. (I’m now retired.) As a result of my hands-on experience, I've put all the tricks of the trade, ins and outs, tips and secrets into one power-packed book called The Book of U.S. Postal Exams & Post Office Jobs:How to Be a Top Scorer on 473/473-C/460 Tests & Other Postal Exams to Get a Post Office Jobs.

If you want to enjoy the spectacular benefits of being a postal employee, then you have to score between 95-100%. There are no two ways about it. If you can't make the grade, then someone else will. That someone else will also have your high paying, ultra- secure job.

THINK ABOUT IT--hundreds, often thousands of people are all taking the same exams. Whether or not you get the job hinges on whether you can beat out the competition. And that's a lot of competition!

Essentially, none of the things that helped you get a job in the past are going to help you get a postal job: your stellar interviewing skills, snazzy wardrobe, extensive experience, Ivy League education and powerful family will hold no bearing on whether or not you get this job.

There’s no discrimination. It doesn't matter whether you're a United States citizen or an immigrant, man or woman, black or white, brown or yellow, you name it. It's your exam score that counts.

THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS, AS I HAVE SAID BEFORE, IS YOUR SCORE.

I think you probably get the point now; the score is essential. But you are probably wondering HOW this book is going to help you score 95-100% on the postal exam.

Here’s what Anthony Wescoe of Catasauga, Pennsylvania, wrote me:

June 28, 2000
    After trying to take the test on my own with no guidance, and no higher grade than a 79.0%, after three attempts, I picked up “The Book of U.S. Postal Exams & Post Office Jobs:How to score a 95%-100%" as my final attempt. No other book on the shelf had a title that just jumped right out at me like this book did. I received my results and I scored a 95.6 for clerk, and a 98.0 for carrier. I was hired for the position of automation clerk. I’ve been with the Postal service for two years now, and making close to 45k this year. Everyone taking the postal test should own this book. From cover to cover, “The Book U.S. Postal Exams" provides you with excellent strategies, very easy to read, bold print, plenty of practice tests, and much humor. I'm writing not to praise myself at a high mark I accomplished. But to say thank you to the author, you’re a genius.”

(Also see some testimonials somewhere in this website.)

Here’s another example, why my “method” works:

My son, Melvin, who barely graduated from high school, after being armed with my techniques and strategies, scored 95-100% on several Postal exams. It was a big surprise of his life! He had a hard time deciding, which JOB offer to accept—after he received several call-in notices for employment. Thanks to The Book of U.S. Postal Exams, he is now working at the West Bloomfield Post Office in West Bloomfield, Michigan, earning $40,000 a year (including overtime)

Yes, The Book of U.S. Postal Exams offers everything you need to know to score high on the exam. After reading this book and studying the methods, if you don't get between 95-100%, then you didn't read the book.

Where most exam study guides offer help for only one exam, this book offers everything you need to pass the exams, MAKING 95-100% SCORES for over forty different positions available from the U.S. Postal Service:

    • Clerk
    • Carrier
    • Mail Handler
    • Mark-Up Clerk, Automated
    • Mail Processor
    • Flat-Sorting Machine Operator
    • Distribution Clerk, Machine

    • Plumber
    • Postal Machines Mechanic
    • Postal Maintenance Trainee
    • Scale Mechanic
    • Stationary Engineer
    • Tractor-Operator

ANY OF THESE POSITIONS COULD BE YOURS. All you have to do is pass the test with flying colors. With The Book of Postal Exams, with easy-to-read and easy-to-understand instructions, that will be no sweat.

With The Book of U.S. Postal Exams, you will learn the “effective way” of marking the circles on the answer sheet on a “limited time” test. This may seem like the least likely skill you would need help with, but this method alone will raise your score by about 30%. (Remember, I did it!) If you can't master the "effective way" of marking the circles, especially on the address-checking and memory-for-address sections, you will barely manage to get a passing score, if you pass at all.

This is just one of the tips and tricks available in The Book of U.S. Postal Exams. You will also have access to everything I know about how to score high on these postal tests. And believe me, having been a postal employee, I know how valuable this information is.

Here is just a taste of what you will get with The Book of U.S. Postal Exams.

    • Sample test questions with answers
    • Where and how to apply for examinations
    • How to mark the answer sheets the right way
    • How to compare 95 pairs of names and addresses in five minutes
    • How my memory code enables you to memorize 25 names and addresses in five minutes
    • How to score 95-100% on a postal exam
    • Instant math, vocabulary, and spelling
    • How to transfer from one job to another
    • How to transfer from one state to another without losing your seniority

These are just a few of the subjects covered in 35 chapters full of valuable information.

I know what it's like to work at a low-pay, low-appreciation job, dealing with office politics and licking the bosses boot heals to get ahead, or even keep your job.

That is why I created this book--for people like you who want to work without having to worry about layoffs, kissing up to a dozen different bosses, and paying the mortgage or buying diapers on your measly salary.

ALL YOU NEED TO CHANGE YOUR CAREER IS ONE BOOK.

You don't need a four-year education. And you certainly don't need to beg your boss for a raise.
