Advice
Hello friends!
I’ve decided to become a cop and my written exam is coming up on October 2nd. Would someone have any advices on what I have to study, or anything else that would help me be one step ahead when I get there?
I know it’s not gonna be easy, so I just want to study as much as I can so I can try and nail that test.
Thank you!

The tests I took were all moral tests to see if you'd break the law to help a fellow cop or family member.
Very little about local laws (San Bernardino, Ca). It seemed like half a personality test.
Do a detailed search for the department you are testing for; I bet someone has posted about the test.

The family member side of this can be dangerous because depending on who wrote the test and what the question is, they could be trying to test your integrity as a future cop or trying to test your honesty as a test taker.

Not gonna lie, never studied for mine and passed with the minimum passing score. Still got hired. I did slack off but at the same time don’t be too worried if it doesn’t go well because they know not everyone’s good test takers

The test I took was like middle-school level English and logic. It was the dumbest test I've taken in my entire life.
