Promotional examinations give thousands of police officers an opportunity to advance their career. The challenge is especially in preparing for the written and oral tests. Popular questions on how to pass the police promotional exams<\/A> are discussed below by officers who have successfully completed theirs.<\/p>\n

How does one prepare for captain, lieutenant, sergeant and such ranks? Each county or city has a different criterion for administering the exam and promoting their officers. This means that a straight forward answer does not exist for this question. The common feature with tests in most departments is the use of multiple choices in their questions. The departments provide a detailed reading list for officers to prepare. Some have incorporated essay components in their tests.<\/p>\n

The pass mark is subject to personnel rules in each department, contractual language and individuals past practice. Each city or town has specific rules for their promotional examination. In all departments, only officers who pass in the written paper are allowed to proceed to the oral test. While oral tests accounts for forty percent of the overall score, written test contributes sixty percent.<\/p>\n

The material in the reading list must be studied thoroughly. There are books included in the reading list to be used during preparation. Tests for some ranks require knowledge of departmental rules and regulations as well as policies and procedures. It is only by reading the books thoroughly that you can be ready to sit for the test.<\/p>\n

Where should you concentrate in order to pass the oral test after clearing the written exam? Oral tests are designed to evaluate both verbal and non-verbal skills. Preparation for oral tests requires a bit of coaching and a lot of practice for presentation. The assistance of a former officer would help you score highly. It also helps to practice in front of friends, colleague and relatives who will listen to your presentation and provide feedback. In their absence, record your presentation and review it on your own.<\/p>\n

The topics or content vary depending on the rank you wish to be promoted into. With this information, you will understand the areas to lay emphasis on depending on target rank. The test also gives you a case scenario for you to solve. The best approach is to be creative without violating any law.<\/p>\n

How do you tackle the in-basket case and get a good score? The in-basket case provides systematic, job related and real life situations where your response is tested. The test is carried out as managers, administrators and supervisors watch. They will be judging the appropriateness of your action and reaction.<\/p>\n

The issues presented at the in-basket stage are those that administrators, supervisors and managers face on daily basis. You will be required to deal with phone calls, written documents, memorandums, verbal confessions and investigative reports. It is your performance at this level that will be used to judge whether you deserve a promotion or not.<\/p>\n

Thorough preparation is the secret behind passing the promotional exam. There are unique expectations for each rank. Each candidate must meet these expectations through the written exam as well as oral test. The questions are derived from the materials indicated in the reading list. Only an excellent performance will warrant a promotion.<\/p>\n
