I have my first test next week. Is there any other helpfull prep material I could look into other than whats on the CBP website?
The stuff they give you is very good for getting a general idea of what the test is like. If you feel you need more knowledge to pass the test then you would probably be well served by going to an English class and maybe a math class. I did not think the test was that difficult. If you graduated high school you shouldn't have too many problems with the test.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new guards for their future security.
For the intelectually challenged: If the government screws the people enough, it is the right and responsibility of the people to revolt and form a new government.
Well my signature says it all, I took the test 3 months ago did the compacted testing and did all the written in one day and got the results the same day, I believe it was a 90 or 92.
I did the full packet and did the medical and fitness in february and after sending in another eye test they put on CASS completed, did the Oral board and was notified I passed that day in late feb 08, and my college education w/honors qual'ed me for GS7, I met with the BI beginning of March before I went on a 3 week vacation, so now the only thing waiting on cass is the drug test and the background investigation says: Your case is in the security office.
So, what can I expect now time wise has anyone gone through the steps this quick or do you just hit a dead end. I only wish there were a multiple location question to see where we wanna be placed. I put AZ (Tucson, Yuma) i believe were one option, but I'd like to put Tucson first, then San Diego, then Yuma. Any insight anyone?

God created some police officers perfect, the rest he put in cars.
I tested 3/15 in Philly. They say it takes anywhere from 4-6 weeks to get the Notice of Results via mail. But a bunch of my buddies who tested in Oct. got them 2 weeks later.
Has anyone who tested between 3/7 - 3/15 for the most recent annoucement received their NOR yet?

Nope I haven't seen my NOR appear on Application Manager. On USATESTMANAGER my CBPO testing status still says "scheduled" instead of "tested" like it does for the other test I took. Has anyone noticed that?
Side Note: How do i add my status to my signature? I look all around but was unable to find it?
I just checked usatestmanager and it says scheduled for me too. I took the test on 3/15. Also, Application Manager doesn't even have the CBPO test that I took listed among the many jobs I have applied for. Hopefully it will update itself to reflect that I have applied and taken the exam.

Yes, have some fun while your down there. Don't worry about the work. You will have plenty to do. You will need some time to relax. Take advantage of that time, just don't over do it.

Yeah buddy..you are right near the GA coastline...not a bad time. Not too far from Savannah one of my favorite cities. You just missed St. Patty's Day. Also, points in FLA are a relatively short drive for the weekends.
