The LAPD are recruiting people to work. Learn about the recruitment exam you'll have to take.
I wanted to talk to you about the LAPD recruitment
exam that you'll face when you apply for a job in the Los Angeles
police department. There are a lot of people that dream of becoming an
officer of the law ever since they were a child, but I've seen these
dreams destroyed by this exam. I think a lot of people think of the
word exam and they get ideas of what they would have taken in high
school. This is the main reason that people fail because this exam is
like nothing that you would have taken in high school or college. I'm
going to talk to you about the LAPD recruitment exam.
The first
thing you need to understand is that 7 out of 10 people will end up
failing this exam. The reason that is so is due to basic logistics. The
recruiters have hundreds and sometimes thousands of applicants and
simply don't need that many people. They give a test that is hard and
designed to produce the wrong answers. For that very reason it is much
different than what you would have had in high school. At least in high
school your teacher was being objective.
The LAPD recruitment
exam is going to be a very application oriented question, which means
that the questions will revolve around what you'll actually do. For
example, on the job you'll have to be able to identify people from a
simple mug shot. Guess what? There is a question that has you do that.
Anything you do on the job, you will probably have to demonstrate on
the exam.
