Schroeder, Donald J. (Author). Lombardo, Frank A., (author.).

Summary:

"This updated manual presents information, practice tests, and strategies for the different question types used by police departments throughout the country. It includes: Four full-length practice exams with all questions answered and explained; two official exams given by a large metropolitan police department; streamlining of chapters to more closely reflect the latest question types currently in use; general strategies for dealing with multiple-choice questions and specific strategies for taking computer-based multiple-choice tests, as well as for taking the traditional paper/pencil multiple-choice exam; all-important time management strategies; new reading comprehension question types; plus strategies for answering these questions. An additional diagnostic exam presents questions like those that have appeared on recent entry-level exams used by police departments across the country. Also included are test-taking tips for all question types, suggested rules for effective study, and a detailed description of a police officer's duties. Updated chapters take into account the recent trend by police departments to rely on oral interviews and computerized testing when selecting police officers"--Amazon.com.
