police
department; streamlining of chapters to more closely reflect the latest question types currently in use; general strategies for dealing with multiple-choice questions and specific strategies for taking computer-based multiple-choice tests, as well as for taking the traditional paper/pencil multiple-choice exam; all-important time management strategies; new reading comprehension question types; plus strategies for answering these questions. An additional diagnostic exam presents questions like those that have appeared on recent entry-level exams used by
police
departments across the country. Also included are test-taking tips for all question types, suggested rules for effective study, and a detailed description of a
police
officer's duties. Updated chapters take into account the recent trend by
police
departments to rely on oral interviews and computerized testing when selecting
police
officers"--Amazon.com.
