LA County Planning Assistant Exam

I’m scheduled to take the LA County exam for a Planning Assistant position. I have an MA in Planning from Europe, so I’d like to prepare as much as possible. I’ve been reading Levy’s Contemporary Urban Planning and Fulton’s Guide to California Planning and have checked out LA County’s prep website, which is mostly related to clerical work. Does anyone know anything about the exam? Are there any other texts you can recommend? Thanks!

All of that only scratches the surface of what's wrong with this study. The idea that complex urban development patterns and human behavior can be meaningfully studied according to one primary criteria — density — is wrong from the start.
