CBP Test

[GTO23 Forum Member Find all posts View Profile Close GTO23]

Okay,

I'm getting out of the Navy in 10 months, and I'm looking for a new career. I just applied online for CBP, and I'm scheduled to take the test on the 12th of September. I was wondering if you guys had any advice or tips for taking the test? I guess I also get 5 points (privelege) for being prior military, how much will this help? I have the basic study guide, and I will be looking that over as well.

Thanks for the help guys!

Brian

5 points

Is that added onto your test score or is a combination of other factors as well?

5 points

Huh? What other factors could it influence?

It's added to your test score. You score a perfect 100 and you'll end up with a 105. You score a 87 and you end up with a 92, et cetera.

That makes sense. Just wasn't sure. Thank you for the information. Any tips for the test?

Which one are you taking? CBPO or BPA?

[GTO23 Forum Member Find all posts View Profile Close GTO23]

I'm going to be taking the BPA...

I'm going to be taking the BPA...

...Are you sure? cause you are posting in the CBPO thread. Or did you apply to both?

I was looking on the GI jobs website, and they said they have openings for border patrol agents. That's what I applied for... it's for the california, arizona, etc. region.

Very much so.

I wish a mod would approve a thread to be sticked so we could make a "Border Patrol Test Information MEGATHREAD" since they seem to bear the most questions in both the CBPO and BPA threads. Where the first post has pretty much all the information on both tests, what to expect, what to wear, how to prepare, what to do after the test, etc.

I agree... lol I tried to delete this thread, but couldn't. A mod should come through and delete this and add one.

... and they said they have openings for boarder patrol agents.

No such thing as boarder patrol agents... Its Border Patrol Agent.
