Think things out and use tactical reasoning. Do not fill it out with "hero" ideations. Law enforcement is very team and backup oriented. Also on any questions asked about discretion or your integrity, be very hardlined conservative. There will be questions where u will be asked to decide a "grey" issue with "black and white" answers. Be very very conservative. Do not go on what you consider is right based on yor personal beliefs and value, give the "goody two shoes" answer.
I have taken the NYPD entrance exam and passed it. I got DQ'ed in a later stage becasue they said my hearing was bad. It's very basic stuff like reading comprehension, and just common sense stuff. Nothing worth worrying about.
No exam advice but good luck. There is quite the wait to get the call. For the upcoming academy in April I believe they are still calling people that took the test in 08 & 09.
As on any LE exam; concentrate on sentence structure and recalling details from memory, those two items are big. Good luck :smile: Also you will see alot of "which sentence describes the above paragraph".
Work on your grammar! Even if the initial exam is multiple choice, grammar is sure to play a part later. To be blunt, your post that started this thread has errors that OPFOR did not show in his response. There was a saying, in the Twentieth Century, that we put people people in jail with our pens, not our guns. That has changed to computers, but grammar still applies, and keep in mind that "spell check" cannot help with punctuation and sentence structure.
My PD's academy is six months long, but includes no remedial grammar training. Cadets are expected to be able to write complete sentences, use paragraphs, and punctuate properly, before starting the academy.
I understand that, perhaps, you do know grammar, and used informal language here because this is an internet forum.
This is an older thread, you may not receive a response, and could be reviving an old thread. Please consider creating a new thread.
