I’m going to be your police exam study guide. I’ve been working with all sorts of people to help them get better at passing these types of tests because they’re tough. It’s not that the questions are necessarily hard, it is just such a different dynamic to what is expected of you. Being a police officer isn’t something on paper. It is a very complicated, dangerous and reward experience. The last place a potential police officer is, is in their head. It’s hard to go from how to properly do things on the street to how to properly do things on a piece of paper in a hypothetical situation. I’m going to act as your police exam study guide and help you get through this.

What if I told you that the answers to these exams are all pretty much common sense, you’d probably relax. The questions aren’t rocket science. You’re not asked to build a space ship, you’re asked what you should do in various situations and if you’re a human being in a normal capacity, you should be able to rely on your common sense. You have to keep the peace, stay in control and not let things get out of hand. It is really that simple.

My best piece of advice to share with you in this police exam study guide is to actually read the questions. I know that sounds trivial, but when you’re under the clock your mind will start to try and figure out the question before you finish reading it. This leads to people answering incorrectly, even though they assume they read the question. Make sure you read them.
