What to think about before taking the MCT...

The Multiple Choice Test (MCT) is an 80-item test that evaluates your ability to read and write. There are four sections on the test: Clarity, Spelling, Reading Comprehension, and Vocabulary.

Prior to your MCT, you may want to spend some time reviewing the many events and incidents that make up your personal history and that have helped make you who you are today. Which of these many experiences have prepared you for the position of Police Officer?

Read the Multiple Choice questions and make sure that you choose the response that best answers the questions that are asked. Double check your answers before submitting your exam.

Preparation:

  • high school English books
  • reading and writing sections of test preparation books
  • community college courses in reading and writing

Save time to review your answers. Don't be overconfident - check your work.
