    Polygraph

    I have just taken the Civil Service Exam for the local PD and the physical portion and currently ranked second on the list. Afterwards we get the background investigation packet and a pre-polygraph packets with about 200 yes or no questions. I seem to have answered yes to about 15 of them but they were all when I was younger (like 12-13) such as switching price tags on items, or making prank phone calls. My main question is when I turn that in with the application is the polygrapher going to focus on the questions I answered yes to, or just a variety. I have taken a polygraph before for dispatch (but there was no packet involved) and was not passed and was accussed of being an alcoholic drug dealer (which I drink very infrequently and have never touched drugs in my life). Just trying to get an idea. I know all the secrets can't be revealed, but any help would be appreciated.

    just tell the truth. they may not beat you up to much on the yes answers, because why would you falsley admit to something? you'll probably have to explain the yes answers, but that may be it. but, like the old saying goes, the truth shall set you free.
