Preparing for the test

To help you prepare for the Victoria Police entrance examination, we have made a sample test available as well as recommending some books to read.

Many examination centres that provide the examination also run preparatory courses. These courses are not compulsory, nor do they guarantee success. You do not have to attend a preparatory class to be eligible to sit the examination.

Sample tests

To familiarise yourself with the format and nature of questions in the test, view:

• list of spelling and comprehension words

Books

You might find it useful to prepare for the examination by using books available through public libraries. Two useful books are:

• Practise Now! How to prepare for recruitment and selection tests. Australian Council for Educational Research (2002).
• Preparing for Career Selection Tests (2nd edn). Nelson Thompson Learning. Joosten, Vera. (2000).
