ONLINE POLICE TESTS
As part of the police officer selection process you will be required to undertake a number of assessments to assess your suitability for the role of police officer. Prior to May 2020, this took place at a specified location of the force you were applying to.
During this assessment day, you would have to undertake a number of exercises which included 4 role play exercises and an interview, you will also be required to sit a comprehensive written test which involves numerical reasoning, verbal reasoning and two report writing exercises.
Since May 2020, this was replaced by the College of Policing’s Online Assessment Process (OAP). This was introduced to ensure the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic did not impact the governments pledge to recruit 20,000 new police officers. Held online as the title suggests, the OAP consists of a Situational Judgement Test, Competency-Based Interview, Written Assessment and a Briefing Exercise.
Please note it is known that some of the police services still use elements of the pre May 2020 exercises, such as the role plays, Verbal Reasoning and a Behavioural Questionnaire.
HOW TO PASS THE POLICE TESTS
THE POLICE OFFICER ONLINE TESTING SUITE INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING PRACTICE TESTS
Situational Judgement Test
The Situational JUDGEMENT TEST requires the candidate to read a scenario related to a similar situation you may have to deal with as a police officer. Once you have read the scenario, you will then be presented with multiple options. Your task is the to either choose the correct response or rank the answer choices from ‘most effective’ to ‘least effective’. Depending on which force you are applying to will determine which version of SJT you will undertake. If you have any doubt check the forces website for further information.
WRITTEN ASSESSMENT
This test was introduced via the online assessment process in May 2020, due to the social distancing regulations brought into affect to help tackle the COVID-19 pandemic.
During this assessment you will assume the role of a police constable and you will be instructed to complete a task as assigned to you by your Sergeant. You will be presented with a scenario which relates to an issue within the local community. You will be also provided with other pieces of information to assist you.
Your task is to come up with recommendations and solutions to help solve the issues within the community. Please note! This exercise is based around the CVF, so when making your recommendations ensure they relate to the CVF.
BRIEFING EXERCISE
Another exercise first seen in May 2020, again you will assume the role of a Police Constable. You will be presented with a scenario and you will be then asked a number of questions regarding the scenario.
You will then further information in regards to the scenario, and you will then be asked a further number of questions. This process is then repeated one further time. Please remember to use the CVF when answering these questions.
VERBAL REASONING
The Verbal Reasoning test will present you with a passage of text which you will have a certain amount of time to read. Once you have read the scenario, you will then be asked a number of questions about the passage.
Your task is to answer the question whether you believe that the question is either a true or false reflection of the passage, or that you cannot determine by the information given whether the statement is true or false. In that case you would answer Impossible to Say.
REPORT WRITING EXERCISE
During this assessment you will be presented with a scenario from your superior and your task is to write a report or recommendations in reply. During this assessment you will be assessed on your spelling, grammar and punctuation.
