AS YOU CAN SEE THESE TESTS ARE DESIGNED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE 1 STAR PROCEDURES ARE STUDIED JUST AS HARD AS THE 5 STAR PROCEDURES. EXAM WRITERS KNOW THAT WE ALL KNOW THE 5 STAR PROCEDURES FOR A GIVEN RANK INSIDE AND OUT SO THEY THROW YOU THE GROUND BALL. OF COURSE YOU KNOW THE LT. DUTY FOR THE MISSING PERSON PREOCDURE COLD AND THE BRIBERY PROCEDURE INSIDE AND OUT BACKWARDS AND FORWARDS. WHY WOUDL THEY TEST YOU ON THIS..THEY KNOW YOU KNOW IT...ITS THE MINISCULE STUFF THAT THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW. THIS IS WHY EVERYTHING IS TESTABLE AND YOU SHOULD KNOW 212-79 SUBPOENA FEES AND ACCOUNTING PROCEDURES JUST AS GOOD AS YOU KNOW WHO TO SALUTE AND WHEN TO SALUTE THEM..FOR ME THAT WAS MY APPROACH. THE GOOD NEWS IS JUST LIKE A CAPTAIN EXAM THEY WILL ROLL AROUND ALOT SOONER. THE BAD NEWS IS YOU HAVE TO DEDICATE YOUR LIFE AGAIN AND TREAT EVERY PROCEDURE AS IF IT WERE A 5 STAR...IF YOU DO THAT. YOU WILL WALK OUT OF THERE LAUGHING AT THE EXAM WRITERS...
SORRY FOR THE CAPS..SOMEHOW GRAPE JELLY GOT ON MY KEYBOARD AND THE CAPS WONT COME OFF..
I read all the procedures and trust me, the only reason I was laughing at the exam writers is because the obscurity of the questions was ridiculous. There is simply no time to study the 1 star procedures as much as the 5 star and operations orders, and crime complaint reference guide, and legal bureau bulletins, and penal law, etc.. and I started 8 months out, I can only imagine if this was a six month test.
What's stopping them from asking about the PAA Guide or anything else? They could ask anything in the world, doesn't have to be on the Notice of Exam from what we saw.
Next exam they'll test the PAA guide or School Safety guide...unless the classes teach it.
go to rising star next exam, and whatever they don't go over, study that because it will be on the test

Agree 100%
That could be said about any class. My next step after I move on from this disaster is to print out my own patrol and administrative guide from the lan terminal as well as operations orders.
