Q & A

What is the recommended study schedule for preparing for the police academy exam?

The suggested study schedule involves taking one practice exam each day. Every 4th day should be dedicated exclusively to studying statistics, a subject that the individual struggles with. This helps balance the practice of exam-taking with focused study on weaker areas.

Why is it important not to skip statistics questions during practice exams?

Statistics questions, particularly from recent years (2020–2024), have a high probability of appearing in future exams. Skipping these questions can lead to a lack of preparation for them, making it harder to perform well on the actual exam.

How should you adjust your study plan as you improve in other subjects?

As you get better in the subjects you're more comfortable with, you should reduce the time spent on practice exams and increase the time dedicated to studying statistics. This adjustment ensures that you're focusing on the areas where you need the most improvement.

What is the rationale behind focusing more on difficult subjects like statistics?

Focusing more on difficult subjects like statistics is important because these are the areas that can most improve your overall score. By mastering your weak points, you increase your chances of performing better across all subjects in the exam.

How can the study plan evolve over time?

Over time, the study plan can evolve by alternating between exam practice and subject-focused study. For example, you could switch between 2 days of exams and 2 days of statistics, or mix 1 day of exams with 2 days of statistics. The key is to adjust the plan as you improve.

What is the suggested approach if statistics continues to be a major hurdle?

If statistics continues to be a major challenge, it's recommended to set aside an extended period, such as a full week or more, to focus solely on studying the subject. This intensive study approach helps to break through the difficulties and build fluency.

Why is it important to study statistics every time, even if it’s a weak area?

Statistics is a vital subject for the police academy exam, and regular practice is necessary to overcome initial difficulties. By consistently working on it, you increase familiarity with the material, improving your chances of success in the exam.

What does the person giving advice believe will happen if the study plan is followed?

The advisor believes that by following this study plan, the individual will gradually improve in statistics and other subjects, ultimately mastering the material and being well-prepared for the police academy exam.

How can you measure your progress in the study plan?

Progress can be measured by the increase in fluency and confidence in solving exam questions, especially in statistics. Once you're able to solve statistics problems without difficulty, it's an indicator that you've made significant progress.

What is the role of feedback in this study process?

Feedback plays an important role as it helps track your progress and make necessary adjustments to the study plan. The advisor encourages constant updates, ensuring the individual remains on track and adapts the plan based on their needs.
