OSPRE 2008

Essential Reading
	Blackstone's Police Manuals are the official study material on which the exam is based. We cannot stress enough how important it is to be studying from these books.

Tips on how to save money using Amazon
Only want the Police Manuals or the Questions and Answers? Look at Used and New offerings from the 3rd Party Resellers, their prices are often a lot cheaper but don't forget to add the £2:75 postage for each publication when comparing them to Amazon. Looking at buying more than one publication? Amazon may be cheaper. Amazon prices are generarlly 5% less than the published price but you have the option of free delivery - 3rd Party Resellers have to add £2:75 for each publication so postage costs may offset your savings.

Recommended Optional Publications
Blackstone's Police Q&A are a very handy addition if you don't have a laptop and want to study questions away from your desktop computer.	Promotion Crammer for OSPRE Pt. 1 is written by Tom Barron, published by Police Review and a very popular addition to the Police Manuals.	Blackstone's Police Sergeants' and Inspectors' Mock Examination Paper is useful as the exam approaches to replicate exam conditions. However as this paper is suitable for both exams then it cannot be testing the Sergeant-only material in the syllabus.
