How many situational judgment questions are on the Police entry exam?

National Testing Network publishes no question count at all — not for this type and not for the test as a whole, only that the whole sitting runs about 2 hours and 15 minutes in total. Any site that gives you an exact count has made it up. The 30-question run on this site is this site's own practice length, and it deals the types evenly.

Is this section timed?

Not on this page. These sets are for learning the type — each answer comes with an explanation straight away. When you want the clock, the full-length test runs at 50 seconds a question.

Are these real questions from the test?

No. Every question here is original, written to the published format. The real item banks are confidential and nobody outside the publisher has them.

You arrive first at a two-car collision. One driver is bleeding heavily; the other is arguing loudly with a bystander about who is at fault. What do you do first?

What this type asks

NTN says the situational judgment test measures judgment in the stressors and situations the job produces, and that candidates should answer from the information given and common sense rather than from policy. That is the standard these items are written to: no department procedure is reproduced or invented, and every answer is defended from something general and checkable — life safety before evidence, facts before conclusions, the least force that solves the problem, and never spoiling the independence of a witness or a record.

Now do it with the clock running.

30 questions in 25 minutes — 50 seconds each. That clock is this site's, not the publisher's: National Testing Network does not print a length per question. Working under one is still the part untimed practice cannot teach.
