About the NH POST Exam
New Hampshire has no single state POST certification exam. A recruit is first hired by a law enforcement agency and passes a physical fitness entrance test, then completes the Police Standards and Training Council's 16-week full-time academy within 6 months of hire. The minimum passing grade on each written and practical assessment is 70%, and every subject must be passed; graduates are certified by the Council.
Exam sponsor: New Hampshire Police Standards and Training Council (NH PSTC). The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

In Term Match, six terms appear as colored tiles; swap neighbors to line up three or more of the same term, and each match shows what the term means. In Term Pairs, twelve face-down cards hide six pairs of terms; flip two at a time to find each pair, and every pair you find shows what the term means. In Term Search, five terms hide in a grid of letters, reading across, down or diagonally; drag across a term to circle it, and each term you find shows what it means.
