I assume being from California that you will apply to a local agency. California uses a standard POST test standard that most agencies incorporate in their tests. If you want to get a good idea of what you'll be tested on, go to a Barnes & Noble and purchase something like, Police Officer Exam California (Learning Express Law Enforcement Series California) or Police Officer Exam (Barron's How to Prepare for the Police Officer Examination) - This book is a more all in one, but it still has good info on the testing process in general.
Also, some agencies have an example of tests on their websites.

You'd have to be stupid to fail
At least most of them. It's all very basic grammar, spelling, punctuation etc. I don't recall any math on any I've taken (4 so far) but it'd be easy enough.
Many departments use the EXACT same test. I did one recently and a week later another department gave me the exact same test verbatim. I did very well the first time, even better the second time!
At my last test, we had 69 people at the written and they scored it immediately. While we were waiting a guy asked "so are you going to tell the entire group which retards failed the test?" He failed. Another girl in a mini skirt, tank top and those annoying 4 inch thick flip-flops said at the end of the test "OMG, that was hard" said in valley-girl speak.
Regardless of how easy it was, nearly half failed the written. I left with my jaw on the floor.Last edited by Hewson; 05-17-2005, 01:38 PM."Do what thou will shall be the whole of the laws until violate the rights of another. Respect the space of your sister and your brother."
