Preparation Materials Help Testing Aptitude

Those who fail the police exam in NSW, WA, QLD, VIC and SA regions don’t necessarily fail because they are unable to do the duties of a police officer. Some qualified applicants never make the grade because others with better testing skills routinely outperform them. However, if you can improve in the police aptitude tests, you have a better chance to pass the entrance exams. Police Preparation Australia focuses on police literary testing, writing skills, judgement scenarios and other topics included in entrance exams in order to help you get past the testing hurdle. Some people simply do not do well on tests because of anxiety or other factors. Police Preparation Australia understands that many suitable applicants just need to learn to focus their attention on the test, and our materials guide you toward that goal.

Make a Decision On a Police Career

Before taking a police exam in SA, WA or elsewhere, you might first want to consider all the responsibilities a police officer must undertake after passing the entrance exam and going through police academy. Police Preparation Australia hopes to not only assist those who dream of becoming a police officer to pass the entrance exams, but also to ensure that hopeful officers understand the demands of a police career.

We help you make an educated decision on a job as a police officer so that you don’t pass the exam and then realise that the job requires more than you can give. While some people who would make great police officers cannot pass the test, others who are talented at testing sometimes drop out of becoming a police officer because of the complications of the job.

The Queensland Police is one of the most sought after police services in Australia. There are more people looking for information on how to excel in police selection in Queensland than any other state*. This is an excellent indication that if you are considering a police career in Queensland you will need to make some effort to stand out amongst the other applicants.One of the most common failings for unsuccessful applicants of the Queensland Police selection is the cognitive testing phase. This involves a series of written tests designed to assess the applicants ability in numerical reasoning, abstract reasoning, written comprehension and writing skills. If you fail, you may have to wait another 12 months to re-sit.The duration of the selection process will take some months depending on how many recruit squads are planned and how competitive your application. If you pass each stage of selection you will eventually be ranked and graded amongst the hundreds of other applicants. When the next recruit squad is trained only the top applicants will be selected. So it is critical that you perform at your very best during each stage of testing. QLD Police Preparation Resources

The Northern Territory (NT) Police is one of the toughest police districts in Australia. You will face the usual extreme hazards of police work in the most extreme environments. Pursuing a career in the Territory could mean a significant change in lifestyle – and a rewarding one too.

One of the unique aspects of the NT Police recruitment process is the scored Physical Assessment. Rather than a few simple pass/fail requirements, you are scored over a series of SEVEN physical assessments. This provides a very accurate comparison between applicants. It is therefore critical to perform at an excellent standard physically.

The remaining written testing phase and interview panel are similar to that conducted around the country. These elements of testing are also heavily scrutinised. Plus if you fail to meet the standard you may have to wait another year before being permitted to make another application – so be sure you are prepared on the day!
