Hello everyone!

I just received an email saying I met all qualifications and requirements to take the written exam in Fremont CA. Do you guys have any advice on what to study and and tips on taking the exam? I am in the military currently and we take many tests, but i have heard many horror stories of Police exams. Anything will help! Thank you!

Also any advice on attire to wear to the exam!

There are a number of police civil service study guides available for purchase. Amazon has them as does Borders or Barnes and Noble.

The public libraries also normally have copies for checkout.

Hi,

NTN Test: No way to study for it. You either already know it or you don't.

Few tips:
- Wear a watch. You are timed yet you don't know how much time you have left.
- If you have the $20, take the practice test. It can be helpful.
