I was invited to take my local depts police exam on December 5th. I'm not worried about the push ups, sit ups, or running, as i'm training everyday to make it seem more routine.

I am a little nervous about the written test however. Do any officers (or maybe non-officers?) on here have any pieces of advice? I took a few sample tests online and they seemed tough. I have a bachelors in Business and a high school diploma so I'm definitely smarter than I like to think I am. Some of the questions are just downright bizarre..

does every dept. ask different questions? Or are they all along the same tree of questioning?

EDITED 12/5/15

Well... Finally took the test this morning. Woke up around 410am, got ready and pumped and got there nice and early. Long story short, I passed the physical part with flying colors, and for that I'm pretty proud of myself. But unfortunately I failed the written test with a 59 (needed a 70 to pass). I'm really bummed obviously, the written test was really hard. We had 25 minutes to basically memorize a 6 page book and learn a bunch of statistics, as well as memorize 4 different people, their information and a bunch of other stuff. Than the actual test came and the questions were about the littlest details possible. I took it, failed, and went home pretty unhappy. Sigh, guess I'll try again later. In 6 months.
