QUESTION:
I recently applied to become a police officer. I
understand the written exam is challenging. Do you
have any recommendations as to how I can prepare for this
test?
ANSWER
from Dana Johnson on 3 September 2002:
Get a good night's sleep. Eat breakfast. Read
each question. Do not read into the question.
For example, the test in Virginia Beach involves a full
page with four to six questions about what was on the
previous page. You can go back to look for answers
as you need to. Some tests are mutiple choice.
This would be where you need to be careful not to read into
the question, and read the question.
Departments have more than
one event to go through in their process. Ours is
at least six. The candidate must get through all of
them.
So, take each phase
individually, and do you best. Good Luck!
