I didn’t take this test, but years ago I completed successfully the real test for the Highway Patrol and was then signed up for the physical test. Then I broke my collar bone just a couple weeks before the date. I took the test anyway, and passed every aspect of it required except the push-ups. Didn’t make the academy. 
Looking back, I should have tried again.
Got two wrong, 90%. Avg. Reader score is 69%. What’s the average cadet score? 
I love the one about the brick and one of the answers was “hand out umbrellas to bystanders for safety.” WTF?
So the only appropriate situation in which you should shout is “chasing a burglar out of a house”? What, like you’d chase a raccoon out with a broom? “Get out of here! Go on! Shoo!” I missed the question because I dunno, I thought maybe the police officer should, you know, arrest the burglar.
I blew through it without thinking too deeply on any of the questions. My score reflected that. Thankfully I did better on the real one. I don’t agree with the license plate question either.
Perhaps they are winnowing out those with a sense of humor.
I don’t like the way question 2 is worded. It asks how many groups of businesses Officer Milton visits in a year. If he visits three businesses a week for 48 weeks, then he’s visited 48 groups of businesses. The test wants you to answer that he’s made 144 visits because 48x3=144.
85%. I evacuated the building with the bomb threat, radioed in the description of the rapist, and called for backup when responding to the burglary alone.
I really don’t understand about the bomb threat. If you take it seriously, you evacuate the building. Responding inconspicuously seems to assume it’s bullshit, and nothing bad is gonna happen in 15 minutes.
90%. I wanted to wait for backup for investigating an ongoing burglary instead of turning off sirens and lights, and I wanted to evacuate the building with the bomb threat.
I’m sure that the police would have felt very guilty had my friends and I been blown up with the Library. 
80%. I missed the math questions, and the bomb one.
Yea, the burglary one is stupid. You don’t respond lights and siren to a simple burglary. Don’t these people watch Adam-12? Code 2 response is appropriate. So there’s nothing to turn off, because they were never on!
I said I’d wait for backup. I would think you shouldn’t go into a building alone. That’s how Mark Harmon almost got shot on Adam 12.
Hmm… maybe cops should watch Adam-12 rather than go to whatever police academy has the questions in that quiz! They’d probably be better cops.
That is wrong. If you are on the other side of town you use your lights and sirens to get close then you turn them off when you get to the area. Then you park away from the house and keep it in view as best you can until back up arrives. That is for an in progress call. Just an alarm I would not respond at all with lights and sirens.
Loach, what about the bomb one? Do you know why they don’t want evacuation to come first?
I thought this one a bit ambiguous:
Does “groups” mean “local businesses” or “groups of three local businesses to be visited in a given week?” I assumed the latter and got it wrong.
There are various procedures but just a threat does not mean an automatic evacuation. Whoever is in charge of the building can do whatever they want without police input.
Yeah I thought that was worded very poorly too. I figured the use of the word groups was the trick part. Instead it was just a bad choice of word.
