Although I didn't really study for this test, after taking exams so many times before I would expect to be familiar with most questions. I have never before seen any of the information contained in over half the questions. It seems unfair for the people that put much study time into it! |

I can picture the exam writing session with the head guy stating, "Let's just screw these little test takers this time, and to hell with everyday police work!" |
