Frequently Asked Questions
How similar are the practice tests to the real NPOST exam?
We take pride in building practice exams that closely mirror the exact format and question style of real entry exams. Our NPOST practice tests are built to reflect the National Police Officer Selection Test (NPOST) which includes skills assessments in math, reading comprehension, grammar, and incident report writing. This is not just generic police test prep, you're getting carefully crafted questions that will help prepare you for the NPOST exam.
Is the real NPOST exam hard?
The NPOST can be challenging if you are not prepared, especially since it tests a wide range of skills under strict time limits. With practice, most candidates improve their speed and accuracy, which boosts their confidence on test day. Our practice tests include a varying degree of difficulty to help fully prepare you. In fact, you may find some of our questions are more challenging than the ones you will find on the real exam. Practicing with challenging questions helps candidates feel confident and improve results when they face the real exam.
How should I study for the NPOST test?
The best way to prepare is by reviewing the study guide material for key concepts then practicing under timed conditions with realistic NPOST practice exams. Focus on improving your weak areas, such as math word problems, grammar rules, or reading comprehension speed, so you are ready for the real exam. Most candidates start by taking a full practice test, then revisit the individual sections or skills they want to improve.
Can I retake the NPOST if I fail?
Yes, but retake policies vary by agency. Some allow retesting within a few weeks, while others may make you wait several months. Failing the NPOST can delay your police application, so practicing ahead of time is the best strategy.
What is included in your NPOST prep?
Everything you need to be fully prepared for the National POST exam. Our NPOST study guide includes tips and refreshers for all four sections: Math, Reading, Grammar, and Report Writing. The practice tests are designed with the same number of questions and time limits as the real test. You will also get instant scoring, section feedback, and the ability to retake as many times as you need.
Is the NPOST Study Guide digital or print?
The study guide is a quality downloadable PDF file that you can download after purchase. This means you'll have instant access to your prep material and can start studying today.
Why should I use an online NPOST practice exam?
Online NPOST practice tests give you realistic exam conditions, immediate feedback, and the flexibility to study anytime. Practicing online helps you build confidence, track your progress, and be fully prepared for test day.
