Police Officer Exam

Practice Examination Three

This section includes the last of three practice examinations that you will be taking. Like Practice Examination Two, this test is an official one previously administered by the NYCPD. By this time you should have taken the previous practice examinations, and you should have seen steady improvement. If not, be sure to give a careful look at the Diagnostic Procedure for each of the previous examinations which you took and analyze your weaknesses. Then, spend time studying all those review chapters where you have gotten questions wrong. Only then should you take this last examination. When you have taken this final examination, you should be prepared to take most major police officer examinations, including those for Transit and Housing Police administered in many cities.

Be sure to take Practice Examination Three in one sitting. You will then become accustomed to concentrating for a period of 4½ hours, which is the length of time allowed for the examination. Be sure to review the test-taking strategy outlined in the Introduction before taking this practice examination.

BEFORE YOU TAKE THE EXAMINATION

When you begin this examination, look first at the material in the “Memory Booklet.” After reading the material for the time specified, continue to the “Test Booklet” and do not look back at the material marked “Memory Booklet.” Then continue with the rest of the test.

Remember to read each question and related material carefully before choosing your answers. Select the choice you believe to be the most correct, and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet provided at the beginning of this chapter.
