Does anyone know what type of question would be on this exam? I was wondering if I should buy the Passbook for this exam title. Any information is appreciated.

From what it looks like, it's questions pertaining to the administrative side of things.

Example:
The concept of the chain of command is most similar to which one of the following concepts?
A - span of control
B - Matrix or task force organization
C - Scalar principle
D - Functional Departmentation

TBH, you don't even have to buy the passbooks, go to your local library (check online) and reserve it. That's what I did.

Hi Lucibus, just wondering if that's from PAA Passbook.
Thanks!
Edited to say that sounds a bit more complex than I assumed! I would think that's the Admistrative Managers exam! Lol, good luck to all!

Anyone have any first hand experience with the last PAA exam? Also I wonder how accurate passbook is. From my civil service exam experience with other titles, is been way off.

I took it and was appointed from the list 3 years ago. The passbook and sat prep books will help, the exam is not that difficult.

(GASPS), are you still one? Or did you transfer to another civil service title?

The book is a waste of time. But if you want the book(s), let me know. I have the PAA and SPAA book. I can mail it to ya for free.
