Mozambique ACIPOL Police Academy Entrance Exam · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Portuguese Language and Reading Comprehension & Mathematics and Quantitative Reasoning

  • Diagnose current Portuguese and Mathematics level by completing one timed 20-question mini-test per domain and recording raw scores and error types

  • Identify the five Portuguese grammar areas where errors concentrate (e.g., concordância, regência, crase, pontuação, ortografia) and list them in a personal error log

  • Review arithmetic fundamentals (fractions, percentages, ratio and proportion) by solving 30 graded exercises without a calculator

  • Set up a weekly study calendar of 6 hours split across four fixed sessions and commit it in writing

Your checkpoint

A one-page diagnostic sheet with both baseline scores, a ranked list of the five weakest Portuguese grammar areas, and the fixed weekly study calendar

Week 2

Portuguese Language and Reading Comprehension & Mathematics and Quantitative Reasoning

  • Practise reading comprehension on three 400-word expository texts, answering inference, main-idea and vocabulary-in-context questions under a 12-minute limit per text

  • Apply subject-verb and noun-adjective agreement rules by correcting 40 faulty sentences and explaining each correction in one line

  • Solve 25 word problems involving percentages, discounts and simple interest, showing the algebraic setup before calculating

  • Memorise and use 40 high-frequency formal-register connectives and prepositions in original sentences

Your checkpoint

A corrected exercise portfolio of at least 90 items with written justifications for every correction

Week 3

Portuguese Language and Reading Comprehension & Mathematics and Quantitative Reasoning

  • Write two 250-word argumentative texts on civic themes within 40 minutes each, applying a clear introduction-development-conclusion structure

Your checkpoint

Two edited essays with a before-and-after error count table plus 30 solved proportion and data-interpretation problems

Week 4

Portuguese Language and Reading Comprehension & Mathematics and Quantitative Reasoning & Logical Reasoning and Problem Solving

  • Complete a full timed mock of Domains 1 and 2 (45 minutes each) under exam conditions and score it against an answer key

  • Analyse every wrong answer from the mock and classify it as knowledge gap, misreading or time pressure

  • Solve 20 logical sequence, analogy and syllogism items, writing the reasoning step for each

  • Re-teach the three weakest Portuguese topics to yourself in writing as short explanatory notes

Your checkpoint

A mock-exam report with scores, an error classification table and a prioritised remediation list for weeks 5-8

Week 5

Civic Education, History and Geography of Mozambique & Basic Law and Constitutional Principles

  • Build a dated timeline of Mozambican history from pre-colonial societies through the liberation struggle to independence and the 1990 Constitution, with at least 15 key events and dates

  • Solve 30 mixed logical-reasoning sets (deduction, ordering, truth-tellers, pattern completion) under a strict 1.5-minute-per-item limit

  • Draft five written answers to integrity dilemmas in public service, applying impartiality, confidentiality and refusal-of-bribery principles with justification

  • Summarise the ethical duties of a police officer toward citizens, colleagues and the law in a personal code of conduct
