Learn about the recruitment exam that you'll face with the law enforcement.
I want to talk to you about the law enforcement
recruitment exam. There are a lot of people that have a dream of being
in the police force, but really don't understand what they have to go
through if they want to be in it. There have been a lot of shattered
dreams because of this exam, so I think it is best that you know what
you're getting into. This exam isn't designed to be fair or objective.
It's hard because they want the best of the best. On average, more than
70% of people will end up failing this test, so it should help wake you
up to what you're really going to face. That's why I'm going to talk to
you about the law enforcement recruitment exam.
The first thing
you need to know is that the exam is designed to be test on your
knowledge of the job. A lot of people assume the exam will ask
questions that they can simply memorize. They're really not interested
in seeing if you can memorize. They want to test the very things you'll
need on the job and the questions will be exactly like that. The
wording of questions will be along the lines of 'what would you do
if...', 'how would you handle...', etc.
The law enforcement
recruitment exam will measure things you probably never thought was
needed; like writing skills. You need to be able to write because you
have to write a lot of reports as an officer of the law. Your reports
will end up in courts, so you'll have to make sure you do it right.
