    How hard is the written?

    What is the written test like and how hard is it? Is it a basic standarized test?

    It's a monster. A veritable brain-buster. I walked out of it in tears, convinced that the test had actually knocked points off my IQ.

    We are talking about the LSATs, right?

    Seriously, there are hundreds upon hundreds of different written tests for the hundreds upon hundreds of law enforcement agencies in the US. Some are arduous; some are effortless.

    It was easy enough for me to score a 100, but hard enough that no one else scored a 100.

    I think you should first tell us which department so that someone who has taken it could give you an idea. Honestly, its most likely gonna have portions on memory, reading comprehension, and possibly questions like "What would you do in this situation?" Most are multiple choice so study for the exam seriously!
