Now is a brilliant time for anyone who wants to join the police force in Scotland. Most of the forces are actively recruiting and Strathclyde Police is currently recruiting a staggering 100 officers each month.

However............

The first stage in the recruitment process is an entrance test know as the Standard Entrance Test. Currently............

40% of people sitting the Test fail!

30% of graduates sitting the Test fail!

62% of ethnic minorities sitting the Test fail!

The Police Practice Papers workbooks have been designed to help you prepare for the test. Since the police force allows you only three attempts at the entrance test, there is a real need to be prepared if you want to make the most of each test opportunity.

The workbooks are written in a clear, concise and to the point style. The introduction to Papers 1-4 contains up-to-the-minute, relevant information about the SET test as well as essential information about exam techniques and how to maximise your results. The Numbers book gives preparation techniques for working with numbers and examples of how to work out each question in the Numbers test.

Each practice paper is designed to be as close to the actual test as possible. The workbooks are a must for anyone seriously thinking about a career in the police force in Scotland. We aim to have all orders in the post (first class mail) by the following day.

'Many thanks for the idea of releasing the Scottish Police Practice Papers to the general public as currently the range of Police Entrance test books are more inclined for English and Welsh forces.

As for someone who relishes the idea of joining Strathclyde Police and having sat the exam twice as a fail with only marginal marks from the overall pass mark. I feel the Scottish PPP has helped me develop a greater understanding of the numeracy section - sadly my downfall. I am using the PPP as well as previous instruction from areas such as the Big Plus and personal tuition to fully prepare me for the exam as it was shocking to see how badly my numeracy had fallen behind.

I am hoping I can finally lay to rest the past years of disappointment where I came close but fell in the final hurdle and I hope that the PPP will finally put me towards the career I have always wanted to do. Thanks, Scott.'

'Can you please post on your website my satisfaction. It's my third and final time sitting the SET. It was only then I discovered Police Practice Papers. I am pleased to say thanks to the practice papers I passed. Very useful and perfect service. Thanks!!' Alice

I asked my mates who are in the 'G' force and they had never come across your papers. GLAD I DID! I would recommend the papers to anyone going for S.E.T! I find the Information Handling paper the hardest. A book with worked examples of those questions would be helpful as you can’t really practice them any other way. Cheers. Alex.
