Police exam. - Snookerbro - 02-16-2011 Hey guys and gals Basically, I'm retesting for the Victorian Police Exam (In Australia) I passed every section except Maths and Spelling! All up five sections, so I only retest the two I failed. To make me feel worse I failed by ONE mark on Spelling and Maths. I only have one more chance to pass this, (get two tries then have to wait 6months). All I'm asking is what is a good way to study for spelling and maths? The link for list of spelling words: http://www.vetassess.com.au/take_a_test/vp_download_forms.cfm Maths: Basically, it involves long division, percentages, addition, subtraction, multiplication and 'worded' questions such as buying one type of apple for this much and two of a different type for this much, with this amount of money and how much you have left over, etc! (If you understand me) Cheers for any help RE: Police exam. - Mao - 02-16-2011 Lemme give you some copypasta advice for the math problems Quote:Addition - RE: Police exam. - Snookerbro - 02-17-2011 (02-16-2011, 11:53 PM)Mao Wrote: Lemme give you some copypasta advice for the math problems Wow, thank you. That was actually very informative. Also, do you know any sites which you can continually do math tests...which would be based off the above topics Cheers EDIT: Also, I would like to know if anyone has great tricks for doing percentages quickly and easily. As in the Maths section you have 10 Minutes to do 10 Questions. My last attempt was foiled as I was too slow! Cheers RE: Police exam. - Eve - 02-17-2011 Congratulations on passing the other three sections. I wish you well with re-taking the remaining two tests. From the website you linked to, a sample test and two books are recommended. Try borrowing the books from your local library. If it is not available, the State Library of Victoria stocks copies on reserve, so you can study in the hall. You can also check if the Victoria Police Library has any study material. http://www.vetassess.com.au/take_a_test/vp_preparing_for_the_test.cfm http://www.police.vic.gov.au/content.asp?Document_ID=12485 These online links may be helpful: English Language Tests.
