COMPREHENSION  \nSTUDY GUIDE  \n& SAMPLE TEST QUESTIONS  \nVERSION 2  \nCOUNTY OF LOS ANGELES  \nLos Angeles  County  \nHuman Resources  \nYOUR CAREER STARTS HERE.  \nWELCOME  \nThank you for your interest in employment with the County of Los Angeles. This booklet is designed to familiarize and assist you with preparing for tests containing multiple-choice reading comprehension items. The sample questions provided in this study guide are intended to give you an idea of the kinds of reading comprehension items you may encounter in County tests. However, it is important to note that actual test questions will vary in format, content, and level of difficulty, depending on the job class being tested.  \nABOUT THE COUNTY’S EXAMINATIONS  \nAs an Equal Opportunity Employer, the County of Los Angeles takes steps to ensure that our exam content is job-related. We conduct studies to determine the knowledge, skills, abilities and personal characteristics that are essential to satisfactorily perform the duties of the job. These studies assist us in developing the content of our examinations. Testing applicants for jobs provides us with an objective and cost-effective means to assess the qualifications of our applicants.  \nHOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR THE WRITTEN TEST?  \nTo prepare for the written test, you should study the concepts assessed in each section. It is likely that there will be several sections to the written test in addition to reading comprehension; thus, it is to your benefit to carefully read the job bulletin to determine the knowledge, skill, and ability areas the written test will cover. In addition, it is important that you read the entire written test notice for the location and time of the written test as well as for parking instructions and other important information. Pay special attention to whether testing aids/materials such as hand-held calculators are allowed in the written test. If the test notice indicates that testing aids/materials are allowed, then you are strongly advised to bring these with you, as they will not be provided. On test day, it is recommended that you arrive 15 minutes prior to the test’s starting time, wear comfortable clothes, bring an accurate watch, and make sure you are well-rested. Also, remember to bring your test notice and a picture I.D. such as a driver license, or you may not be admitted into the test!  \nNOTE: Applicants who require special testing arrangements such as readers or interpreters must provide seven (7) days advance notice of their disability and requested accommodation. Check the front side of the job bulletin for telephone numbers to call to make disability accommodation requests. The County will attempt to meet reasonable accommodation requests whenever possible.  \nTEST-TAKING TIPS  \nMost County tests have a set time limit, so it is important that you work quickly, but not so fast as to become careless. Always read all the possible choices before marking your answer. If you don’t know the answer to a problem, it is usually best to skip it and move on to the others. Note that on most County tests, your score is based on the number of correct responses. If you are not sure of the answer to a problem, eliminate the answers you believe are wrong and mark the choice that is your best response. Above all, budget your time, pace yourself, and avoid getting bogged down on any single question.  \nSAMPLE READING COMPREHENSION QUESTIONS  \nReading comprehension questions test your ability to read and interpret written material; however, actual questions will vary from one test to another. For instance, the test may require that you read an example of a letter similar to one you may encounter in the position for which you are testing and answer a series of questions based on the letter. The following are examples of the types of passage interpretation reading comprehension questions most common to County employment tests. Answersand explanations for the questions are provided on pages 11","cbCaildCDNhAP1cW","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaildCDNhAP1cW","pdf",323516,12,"English","# WELCOME\n# ABOUT THE COUNTY’S EXAMINATIONS\n# HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR THE WRITTEN TEST?\n## TEST-TAKING TIPS\n# SAMPLE READING COMPREHENSION QUESTIONS\n## INSTRUCTIONS","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the reading comprehension study guide?\",\"answer\":\"It familiarizes applicants with multiple-choice reading comprehension test items and provides sample questions to illustrate the types of passages and questions used in County tests.\"},{\"question\":\"How should applicants prepare for the written test?\",\"answer\":\"Applicants should study the concepts assessed in each section, read the entire written test notice for time and location details, and check whether testing aids or materials are allowed.\"},{\"question\":\"What should an applicant do if special testing accommodations are needed?\",\"answer\":\"Applicants requiring special testing arrangements such as readers or interpreters must provide seven days advance notice of their disability and requested accommodation.\"}]","READING COMPREHENSION STUDY GUIDE - & SAMPLE TEST QUESTIONS - VERSION 2 | PDF",1790762209]
