Victoria Police Exam study plan

Sit a timed 30-question verbal and 25-question numerical diagnostic and record raw score, accuracy by question type, and minutes per question

Build a single error log with columns for question type, chosen answer, correct answer, and a cause code (misread, knowledge gap, arithmetic slip, time pressure)

Work through six short reading passages per session and underline the exact sentence in the text that justifies each answer before selecting an option

Drill percentage, ratio, average and rate conversions until 40 items are completed accurately without a calculator

Read each numerical question stem twice and rewrite it as a one-line arithmetic instruction before solving

Interpret eight data sets presented as tables, bar graphs and line graphs, extracting two figures from each under a 90-second limit

Complete three 20-minute mental arithmetic sprints covering fractions, decimals, and unit conversions, tracking accuracy trend

Solve 30 number-series and letter-series items, writing the underlying rule in words before choosing the next term

Solve 25 matrix and odd-one-out items and name the transformation (rotation, reflection, count increase) that produces the answer

Review every error-log entry from week 1 and re-solve each missed item cold

Distinguish stated fact from inference across 20 verbal items by labelling each candidate answer as stated, implied, or unsupported

Complete 15 syllogism and logical-deduction sets, diagramming the premises before selecting a conclusion

Solve 12 ordering and seating-arrangement puzzles using a written grid rather than mental tracking

Identify the conclusion, assumption, and weakening evidence in 10 short argument passages

Timebox each verbal item to 55 seconds and abandon any item exceeding 90 seconds, recording abandoned items separately

Complete a 60-question mixed reasoning mock under full time pressure with no breaks

Recalculate the pacing plan per section from the mock's timing data and set a target seconds-per-question for each domain

Re-teach the two weakest question types from the mock by writing a short method note for each

Repeat 30 previously missed items and confirm at least 80% are now answered correctly

Apply a four-step decision framework (safety first, follow policy, act within role, escalate appropriately) to 25 situational scenarios and justify each ranking in one sentence

Rank five-response scenario sets by writing the order and the single reason the top choice beats the second

Draft a 250-word incident report using the structure: what happened, when and where, who was involved, what action was taken, what remains outstanding

Edit three draft reports to remove speculation, opinion, and passive hedging while keeping the factual sequence intact

Identify and rewrite five examples of ambiguous or emotive wording in official-style prose

Answer 30 situational items under a 45-second-per-item limit to build judgement speed without losing justification quality

Write two report variants from the same fact set: a short summary and a full statement, matching tone and structure to audience

Proofread four of your own reports for grammar, tense consistency, and chronology errors and log each error type

Maintain verbal accuracy with two 15-item reading comprehension sets per week

Role-play three conflict or complaint scenarios aloud, stating your response and the policy reason behind it

Sit two full-length mocks covering all five domains on separate days, replicating exam timing and conditions

Audit each mock section-by-section and tag every lost mark as content, pacing, or careless error

Rewrite your weakest report from the mocks and re-rank your weakest scenario set from memory

Reduce abandoned verbal and numerical items to under three per section in the second mock

Confirm arithmetic and pattern-rule method notes are memorised by reciting them from blank paper

Re-solve the 40 highest-value error-log entries and confirm each method note is correct

Complete three short 15-minute mixed drills to hold pacing without fatigue

Finalise one clean incident report as a portfolio piece and read it aloud to check flow

Draft a one-page exam-day plan covering timing checkpoints, question-abandon rules, and rest breaks

Taper to light review only in the final 48 hours and stop new material
