NYPD entrance test questions.

[neowings]

Do any of you guys practice the test before you take it?? If so, can you recommend me some practice test books.

Also, how much time do they give to complete the test?

By the way, I applied for the October 18 exam and I am wondering if its possible to get into the academy in January 2009?? I heard that the process is slow.

thanks

No need to study for that joke of a test. It's all common sense.

Yes, i know but you still need to get familiar with the questions. I don't like the math part. In the actual test is the math section really hard.

You can take the test in the city as a walk in almost every day. Check out nypdrecruit.com

There is also a sample test on there, the test is simple.

Also, can you use pencils during the test? And will it be possible to get into the academy in Jan 2009?

I looked through the NYPD's online tutorial and it does not let you go back to look at the fact pattern when answering a question. I understand that you are not able to look back at the picture for the memory portion of the test, since this would defeat the purpose of that section, but are you able to go back to the fact pattern on the other portions of the test on the computerized exam, or do you have a paper version of the test and simply answer the questions on the computer? Thanks for the help.

I will have to agree, I took it last feb. It was very easy, I scored a 97 or something around there. Dont stress.

there were a few parts i didn't understand when i first took the practice test.

1) you arrive at a crime scene where the victim is unconcious. 4 people give accounts as to who the suspect is and where they travelled. you have to pick which is the most accurate statement.

after i looked in the answer portion, it's process of elimination. very simple.

the directional questions were pretty simple. the only hard part was when the map was on one side of the paper, and the question was on the back. flipping back and forth became a pain in the ***.

the memory portion at the beginning isn't tough, but i'd recommend doing the practice test first. it'll give you an idea of what to look for and what to remember (e.g. sales, street addresses, people carrying things).

the toughest part is waiting to get inside. i took the test on oct 26 and something like 400 extra people showed up to get in, so we all had to wait for an hour after we sat down to actually start the test.

Since when was there a math section?
