MO POST Test

[Bucvrus]

Hey all,

In the last week of the Academy here in Missouri, just doing some Practical Situational finals and such. Our POST examination is next Tuesday and I feel like our "study guide" is totally inadequate. If course, that's something I'll keep to myself until AFTER I graduate and constructive feedback for instructors won't earn me a reprimand.

Any ideas as to where I could find a more comprehensive study guide? Searched the internet and haven't found too much. Any suggestions on taking the test? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Buc

Dude.... the test is multiple choice. If you can't pass it, you've got issues. Even the stupidest 2-3 in my class passed it....

Try this. ..........Study: That means study and review the material which has been presented to you by your instructors. Tip: Many of the correct "answers" to the POST exam are contained in the inadequate study guide you've previously complained about.

Should normal efforts fail, that is to say, diligent study, review, and more diligent study and review, and you still fail the exam,
drop Eric Holder a line. He'll help you deal with failure. He's one himself. That said, get to work, Good luck.

Haha, I like the bit about Holder....
Nevertheless, I have the highest academics in my class. I just want to score highest on the POST exam for the bragging rights, plaque and special handshake from the chief of training at graduation. Being top of the class and having a degree tends to lend itself towards expedited advancement. Just thought someone might have something sage to say instead of berating the poor recruit for asking for some help.

Thanks

Then study hard and earn it yourself without crutches.

Why didn't you post this in the Missouri section? Are you trying to stir things up? 3 posts? Poor recruit....funny.

I'm new to the forum, if this is posted in the wrong section, I'd love the mods to move it.

Like most "rookies" you have much, oh so much to learn. Glad you liked the bit about Holder. Needless to say, that's one individual NO ONE should ever want to emulate. Now get to work and stop acting like that racist WUS. Once more, good luck.

[PhilipCal]

BTW. The "racist" applies to Holder, not you.

I have something sage to say: the day after you hit the street on FTO, no one else will ever remember or care how well you did academically in the academy nor will your plaque impress anyone except for your children. The only thing your partners will actually care about is how well you do your job out there.
