Prepare Yourself

You have already taken a big step toward becoming a police officer: you’ve been proactive, seeking out this book to make yourself a better candidate. Police Prep Plus is unique among all the police exam prep books out there because we recognize the basic fact that police exams differ from city to city. A prep book that focuses only on the New York City test will not be the best preparation for a candidate seeking work in Seattle, and vice versa. Seems obvious, right? But most police prep books focus on only one test.

A serious candidate needs serious, rigorous preparation for whatever may appear on the test he or she faces. That's why we rolled up our sleeves and really dug into the released sample tests from multiple major police forces. We examined exactly what types of questions were asked and compared the exams against each other. Then we created practice tests and materials for you that provide coverage of the toughest questions you are likely to face. Once you finish working with this book, you will be well prepared for any police exam.
