Type of a scam Employment

I found an ad in a newspaper advertising government jobs. I contacted the number and they wanted me to come in for an interview. I arrived for the interview and they handed me a sheet asking me to write down my personal information such as name, address, social security number, current employer etc. Then then made me take a test that was supposedly for a guaranteed a government job. The test was very confusing and because I did not pass, they made pay $** for a background check and then stated I had to pay another $*** for a study guide to pass the exam. I had to come back and make another appointment. The second time I came back they gave me the study guide and told me to complete the test as well and call her a couple days to send me to my training for new job. She said I had to come one last time to make sure I passed the exam and tell me what job I received and head to my training. I then became suspicious about these practices and googled the place and then found others reviewing it to be scam.
