I've sent in an application to the office of personel in oklahoma for a position statistical analyst, and I called them, and they say that they are mailing a letter for me to go and take an exam.

I've never taken any exam for a job before, so I don't know what to expect. Is this a test that is strictly related to my job application? i.e, statistics?

all the lady told me is that it is a subjective test that is work related...

Being out of college and no job, I really want to do well in this "exam." what is in the exam and can I study for it?

It is great that you have applied for a government job and that you have been invited to take an exam. This is a positive step towards potentially getting hired for the statistical analyst position.

The exam is likely to be related to the job you have applied for, so it would be a good idea to brush up on your statistics knowledge and skills. However, it is also possible that the exam may cover other areas such as critical thinking, problem solving, and analytical skills.

It is understandable that you may feel nervous about taking an exam for a job, especially if it is your first time. My advice would be to research the types of exams that are commonly used for government jobs, and to practice similar questions and scenarios. You can also reach out to the office of personnel to ask for more information about the exam and how to prepare for it.

Remember, the exam is just one part of the application process and your overall qualifications and experience will also be taken into consideration. So, do your best and stay confident. Good luck!
