    Day 2


    • There will be a question and answer session to start our day
    • We will break into smaller groups and start test simulations
    • We will put you in the hot seat all day (it’s the best way to learn)
    • We WILL improve your oral communication, strategies and tactics and you ability to understand what they want from you and give a detailed response.
    • We will identify your weaknesses and help you to develop a plan for improvement.
    • Students who take this small group course will be able to sign up for test day simulations.

    Disclaimer: This course isn’t designed to give you the responses, this course is meant to help you develop your own standard responses and add scenario information. There is a few week break between classes so students can develop and prepare their responses. The second class will help you with preparation and verbalizing your responses. This 2 class program has been proven to be a great way to increase your civil service exam score.

    Students who take this small group course will be able to sign up for test day simulations
