I got the Practice Police Exam from the library. The first 3 chapters I got the practice questons and then they get harder. Sometimes I get so frustrated with the police exam and I question if i am struggling with the police exam how the how am I going to make it into law enforcement.
Does anybody else go through this before applying for law enforcement?

Some of the police exams are tricky. Stick with it!

Some police tests are more difficult than others, but most aren't that difficult. Keep practicing. Find out the right answers, but also find out, and understand, why the answers are correct. Then, do it again and again.

I used Norman Hall's Police Exam Preparation Book. It helped me a lot and I passed!

My question is, when does this police exam take place in the whole application process? Or is this exam taken after the academy?

I'm assuming PinkCop was referring to the written test you often have to take as part of the selection process. If you have to take a written test, it is usually the next step after submitting an application. You have to pass it to continue on with the selection process. Sometimes only those that get top scores get invited to the next step.

Wow, that's very good to know. I just order Norman Hall's book. Looking forward to studying it and applying in a few months.
