PDF Nypd - Test Preparation Kit

INTRODUCTION

This Test Preparation Kit has been distributed by the NYPD to assist you in preparing for the upcoming New York City Police Officer's Entrance Exam.

This booklet is provided as a review of standard test-taking techniques and questions commonly used in law enforcement civil service examinations. The written examination is multiple choice test and may include questions that require the use of several "ability areas". This booklet contains definitions and sample questions of these "ability areas".

Included in the instructions are certain time restraints. Be sure and take this practice exam in a test-like setting using only the allotted amount of time.

To get ready for the exam, it is suggested that you Take Initiative and Prepare for Success (T.I.P.S.):

Mental preparedness is an important quality for any successful police officer, so the next step toward doing well on the exam is to be mentally prepared while you're taking it. Here are a few tips to help defend yourself against test anxiety and raise your confidence level.

? Take the exam one question at a time. ? Focus all of your attention on the one question you've already read or

concerns about what is coming next. ? Develop a positive attitude. ? Keep reminding yourself that you are prepared. ? If you lose concentration, take a few deep breaths and listen to the sound

of your breathing. Take 10 seconds or so and picture yourself doing something you enjoy. This is all you should need to relax your brain and be ready to focus again. Practice this technique several times before the day of the exam. ? If you freeze and a question stumps you, don't worry. Mark it and go on to the next question. You can always go back to it. ? If you freeze before the exam begins, take some time to look the test over. Read a few questions. Decide which are the easiest and start there.
