United States Drug Enforcement Administration

The purpose of this guide is to help you prepare for the Special Agent selection process with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). This guide will familiarize you with several phases of the selection process, including the multi-phase assessment battery consisting of the Test of Observation and Recall, the Writing Exercise, and the Structured Panel Interview. This guide will give you an opportunity to review some test question examples and provide you with an overview of assessments. If you do not have a lot of experience taking job selection tests, this guide will help you prepare for the testing process by letting you see questions similar to those on the actual tests. 

NOTE: This guide was created to prepare the applicant for testing; the vacancy announcement is the official document, and applicants should review it closely. This guide is not a replacement for the vacancy announcement
