 That's right. I got that one wrong, looked it up after. Picked a different one from everyone else, but still got it wrong. Funny, according to this key not one person picked the correct answer.

it was B 

Why are you discussing what's on this test in detail for others to cheat 

On my Sgt's exam this answer key was only off by a point. On the other hand I personally know 5 cops that had between 65 and 69 and all 5 ended up getting final scores in the mid 70's once the official answer key was released. My advice to those on the fringe of 70 is to be patient and have faith. Good luck !!!

sixty f-ing four

after plugging the letters in it says ill get a 46.   I'm kinda shocked i did that well.  i thought for sure i was gonna get between a 15-20

Common Questions

1. Will there be more updates?

A. I will post another update sometime this evening.   I received another 15 or so and will enter them in a bit later.  If I continue to get more sheets, I will continue to make updates during the week.  Eventually, they will stop really changing the numbers as everything will start to settle and be consistent.

2. What do the "possible doubles" mean?

A. Whenever two or more answers are very close (in this case about 3), the program will treat it as a double.  This means that, if you have one, half the time you will get it, the other half you won't.  Your potential score already factors this in.

3. How accurate is this?

A. Historically, the answer key itself is about 90-95% accurate.  This means that when the final key is released (before changes), I'll have somewhere between 5 and 10 different from what is published.  Since this will affect your wrong answers as much as your correct ones, it doesn't really change your potential score.  The potential score itself is usually +/- 3 or 4 points, most of the time within 1 or 2.

4. How many keys do you need or usually get?

A. It depends on the test.  Sergeants tests will get around 100 keys.  Lieutenants are around 50 or so, and Captains are more like 25 to 30.  The sample I get (from this site) already skews my numbers towards being correct since most people that submit their answers do in fact study.  As such, despite only sampling around 3% of the test takers, I'm getting around 20% of the bigger studiers, which is more than sufficient to make an accurate key.

5. How do I figure this out?

A. Plug in your answers in the sheet and look at your potential score on the right.  It's pretty much that simple. The program does all of the calculations and makes most of the assumptions to arrive at that number.  The potential score is out of 100, just like it should be.  Don't get worked up about the research questions.  It already factors those in.  If your potential score is 70 or above, you're in good shape. 

6. What if I can't make this work?

A. If you are having issues opening or using the file (if you are running Mac OS for example), upload the file to Google Docs and use that instead.  The other alternative is find someone here that will run your answers for you and tell you how you did.
