Chapter Summary

Taking the police officer written exam can be tough. It demands a lot of preparation if you want to achieve a top score. Your rank on the eligibility list may be determined largely by this score. The LearningExpress Test Preparation System, developed by leading test experts, gives you the discipline and attitude you need to be a winner.

This chapter can help you take control of the entire test preparation process. It clearly explains the steps you need to take to achieve a top score on the written exam. Do not underestimate the importance of doing well on the written exam: Your future career in law enforcement depends on it. This chapter will help you to

become familiar with the format of the exam.

overcome excessive test anxiety.

prepare gradually for the exam instead of cramming.

understand and use vital test-taking skills.

know how to pace yourself through the exam.

learn how to use the process of elimination.

know when and how to guess.

be in tip-top mental and physical shape on the day of the exam.

The purpose of this chapter is to ensure that you are in control of the test-prep process. You do not want the exam to control you.

The LearningExpress Test Preparation System puts you in control. In just nine easy-to-follow steps, you will learn everything you need to know to make sure that you are in charge of your preparation and your performance on the exam. Other test takers may let the test get the better of them; other test takers may be unprepared or out of shape, but not you. You will have taken all the steps you need to take to get a high score on the police exam.

Heres how the LearningExpress Test Preparation System works: Nine easy steps lead you through everything you need to know and do to get ready to master your exam. The time listed next to each of the steps includes both reading about the step and one or more activities. Its important that you do the activities along with the reading, or you wont be getting the full benefit of the system. Each step tells you approximately how much time that step will take you to complete.

We estimate that working through the entire system will take you approximately three hours, though its perfectly okay if you work faster or slower than the time estimates assume. If you can take a whole afternoon or evening, you can work through the whole LearningExpress Test Preparation System in one sitting. Otherwise, you can break it up, and do just one or two steps a day for the next several days. Its up to you remember, you are in control.
