" I wanted to thank Chief Kastros for his outstanding book on how to prepare for Assesment center exams. Our Department utilized this process for the first time recently. Without any prior experience with this type of exam my study partners and I where able to achieve scores of two 100% and one 93.5% by using the information within the book. The text is well written and the information is easy to put work, I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting that competitive edge. Thanks again Chief as it was very nice getting it done on the first try for both myself and the family."
