Your next study stepFeedback by skill, without a pass prediction

Start with the skills
in front of you.

The sample covers three published skill areas. It is a short learning exercise, not a replica of the official exam.

01

Math you can work through

Practice percentages, equations, geometry and averages. Follow the calculation from the information given to the answer.

02

Read. Interpret. Decide.

Separate what a passage actually says from what it leaves unknown. Work with small tables and clearly stated rules.

03

Make the sentence work

Spot errors in grammar and word choice. See why an option is wrong and how to put it right.

The right preparation starts here

Check the exam
before you practice.

There is no single US civil service exam. This pilot focuses on California Analyst I, formerly Staff Services Analyst. Other titles and jurisdictions have different requirements.
