This book has been specifically designed as a tool to help candidates preparing to take the EPSO EU recruitment examinations. It is also of value to anyone preparing for other professional or academic exams that require a knowledge of the functioning of the EU. The updated 2008 edition now includes a section on the Treaty of Lisbon. "The Ultimate EU Test Book" includes: more than 1200 multiple choice questions and answers; questions closely modelled on the style of those for the concours; questions on every aspect of the EU's history, institutions, policies and programmes; numerical and verbal reasoning tests; quick-view grids that provide answers for each section, with detailed answers following to improve understanding of the question and strengthen knowledge; guidance on how to prepare and cope with the test process; and, questions compiled by lawyers working in the EU institutions.
