Sample PF Agente de Polícia Federal Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your PF Agente de Polícia Federal exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1In relational database management systems (RDBMS) utilizing Structured Query Language (SQL), which clause is specifically used to filter records prior to any group aggregation and which keyword sorts the returned query result set?

A.WHERE is used to filter records before grouping, and ORDER BY is used to sort the resulting records.

B.HAVING is used to filter individual rows before grouping, and GROUP BY is used to sort records.

C.WHERE is used exclusively after grouping, and SORT BY is used to order the result set.

D.FILTER is used to filter records before grouping, and ORDER BY is used to arrange column definitions.

Explanation: In standard SQL, the WHERE clause filters rows from the source tables before any GROUP BY aggregation takes place. The ORDER BY clause is executed near the end of the query processing pipeline to sort the output records in ascending (ASC) or descending (DESC) order.

2In the TCP/IP architecture, which layer is responsible for host-to-host process communication, error detection, and flow control, and which protocol provides connection-oriented, reliable byte-stream transmission?

A.Transport Layer, and the protocol is TCP (Transmission Control Protocol).

B.Internet/Network Layer, and the protocol is IP (Internet Protocol).

C.Application Layer, and the protocol is UDP (User Datagram Protocol).

D.Data Link Layer, and the protocol is Ethernet.

Explanation: The Transport Layer in the TCP/IP stack manages end-to-end process-to-process communication, segmentation, flow control, and error recovery. TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is connection-oriented and guarantees reliable, ordered byte-stream delivery using three-way handshakes and sequence/acknowledgment numbers.

3In information security and applied cryptography, what is the primary structural difference between symmetric and asymmetric encryption algorithms regarding key management?

A.Symmetric encryption uses the same secret key for both encryption and decryption, whereas asymmetric encryption uses a mathematically related public-private key pair.

B.Symmetric encryption uses two distinct mathematical keys, whereas asymmetric encryption relies on a single shared secret passphrase.

C.Symmetric algorithms like RSA are exclusively used for bulk data encryption, while asymmetric algorithms like AES are used for key exchange.

D.Symmetric encryption provides non-repudiation natively without certificates, whereas asymmetric encryption cannot verify sender identity.

Explanation: Symmetric cryptography (such as AES) utilizes a single shared key that must be kept secret by both communicating parties for encryption and decryption. In contrast, asymmetric cryptography (such as RSA or ECC) uses a key pair: a public key that can be distributed openly for encryption or signature verification, and a private key kept confidential for decryption or digital signing.

4When creating a standard digital signature for an electronic document under the Brazilian Public Key Infrastructure (ICP-Brasil), which cryptographic operations are performed by the sender?

A.A cryptographic hash of the document is generated and then encrypted using the sender's private key.

B.The entire plaintext document is encrypted using the recipient's public key without computing a hash.

C.A hash of the document is encrypted using the sender's public key so anyone with the private key can read it.

D.A symmetric session key is generated and encrypted using the recipient's private key.

Explanation: To generate a digital signature, the sender computes a cryptographic hash (digest) of the document and encrypts that hash using their own private key. The recipient validates the signature by decrypting the signature with the sender's public key and comparing the resulting hash with a freshly computed hash of the received document, guaranteeing authenticity, integrity, and non-repudiation.

5According to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) cloud computing definitions, which service model provides the consumer with access to virtual machines, storage, and networking, where the consumer manages the operating system and deployed applications?

A.Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).

B.Platform as a Service (PaaS).

C.Software as a Service (SaaS).

D.Function as a Service (FaaS).

Explanation: In Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), the cloud provider delivers raw computing resources such as virtual machines, storage, and networking hardware, while the client maintains full administrative control over the operating systems, runtime environments, middleware, and installed applications.

6In the Apache Hadoop distributed Big Data architecture, which component of the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) acts as the master node responsible for managing file system namespace and metadata?

A.NameNode.

B.DataNode.

C.NodeManager.

D.TaskTracker.

Explanation: In HDFS, the NameNode serves as the master server that manages the file system directory tree, file metadata, permissions, and the mapping of data blocks to DataNodes. DataNodes are worker nodes that store and retrieve actual data blocks on local disks.

7In Python 3 programming, what is the fundamental structural distinction between a list (`list`) and a tuple (`tuple`)?

A.Lists are mutable objects whose elements can be modified, appended, or removed in-place, whereas tuples are immutable sequences whose elements cannot be changed after creation.

B.Tuples allow duplicate elements and mixed data types, while lists strictly enforce unique values and homogenous types.

C.Lists are defined using parentheses `()` and cannot be indexed, while tuples are defined using square brackets `[]`.

D.Tuples cannot be iterated over using a `for` loop, whereas lists support standard iteration.

Explanation: In Python, lists (created with square brackets `[]`) are mutable sequence types allowing dynamic insertion, deletion, and item assignment. Tuples (created with parentheses `()`) are immutable, meaning once instantiated, their elements and length cannot be modified.

8Consider two relational tables, `Agents` and `Investigations`, joined on `agent_id`. Which SQL join type returns all records from `Agents` regardless of whether a matching record exists in `Investigations`, filling unmatched columns with `NULL`?

A.LEFT OUTER JOIN.

B.INNER JOIN.

C.CROSS JOIN.

D.RIGHT OUTER JOIN (assuming `Agents` is the left table).

Explanation: A LEFT OUTER JOIN returns all rows from the left table (`Agents`), along with the matched rows from the right table (`Investigations`). If there is no match on the join condition for a left table row, the result set columns corresponding to the right table contain NULL values.

9In relational database normalization theory, a relation is defined to be in Third Normal Form (3NF) if and only if it is already in Second Normal Form (2NF) and satisfies which additional condition?

A.Every non-prime attribute is non-transitively dependent on every candidate key.

B.All multi-valued dependencies are converted into independent functional dependencies.

C.All attributes contain only atomic, indivisible scalar values.

D.Every non-prime attribute is fully functionally dependent on the entire composite primary key without partial dependencies.

Explanation: A table is in 3NF if it is in 2NF and has no transitive functional dependencies, meaning no non-prime attribute depends on another non-prime attribute; all non-prime attributes must depend directly and exclusively on candidate keys.

10Under RFC 1918, which of the following IPv4 address blocks is officially reserved for private network addressing (non-routable on the public global Internet)?

A.10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, and 192.168.0.0/16.

B.11.0.0.0/8, 172.32.0.0/12, and 192.169.0.0/16.

C.127.0.0.0/8, 169.254.0.0/16, and 224.0.0.0/4.

D.100.64.0.0/10, 198.51.100.0/24, and 203.0.113.0/24.

Explanation: RFC 1918 defines three private IPv4 address spaces: 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255 (10.0.0.0/8 - Class A), 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255 (172.16.0.0/12 - Class B), and 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255 (192.168.0.0/16 - Class C). These addresses are intended for local LAN usage and cannot be routed across the public Internet without Network Address Translation (NAT).

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the core duties and responsibilities of an Agente de Polícia Federal?

Under Lei nº 9.266/1996 and official PF regulations, the Agente de Polícia Federal is responsible for executing operational, investigative, and tactical activities to prevent and repress federal crimes. Key duties include gathering intelligence, conducting surveillance, analyzing financial/cyber data, serving search and arrest warrants, managing crime scenes, handling operational weapons, and supporting the Delegado de Polícia Federal during police inquiries (Inquéritos Policiais).

How is the written examination structured and scored by Cebraspe?

The written test comprises 120 objective Certo/Errado items organized into three blocks: Bloco I (60 items on Law, Portuguese, Logic/Statistics), Bloco II (36 items on Information Technology), and Bloco III (24 items on General Accounting), plus 1 Discursive Essay. Cebraspe applies negative marking (+1 for correct, -1 for incorrect, 0 for omitted). Candidates must achieve minimum net thresholds in each block (6.00 in Bloco I, 18.00 in Bloco II, 2.00 in Bloco III) and at least 48.00 overall net points across all blocks, plus 50% on the essay, to qualify for the next phases.

What are the stages of the Physical Aptitude Test (TAF)?

Why do Information Technology and General Accounting carry such high weight on the PF exam?

Modern federal policing focuses heavily on white-collar crimes, political corruption, money laundering, and cybercrime. Mastery of IT (databases, networking, forensics, cryptography, scripting) and General Accounting (bookkeeping, balance sheets, cash flows, auditing) equips Federal Police Agents with the technical competencies required to trace financial transactions, dismantle illicit money-laundering schemes, and analyze digital evidence.

What is the Curso de Formação Profissional (CFP) at the Academia Nacional de Polícia (ANP)?

The CFP is the final eliminatory phase of the concurso, conducted at the Academia Nacional de Polícia (ANP) in Brasília, DF. Lasting approximately 5 months in a full-time residential regimen, it covers tactical shooting, defensive tactics, high-speed vehicle maneuvers, covert surveillance, criminal investigation techniques, federal law, police ethics, and physical conditioning. Candidates receive a 50% base salary stipend along with housing and meals.

What are the educational and driver's license prerequisites for the position?

Candidates must hold a recognized diploma of Higher Education (Nível Superior — Bacharelado, Licenciatura, or Tecnólogo recognized by MEC) in any field of study, and possess a valid Brazilian Driver's License (Carteira Nacional de Habilitação - CNH) in category 'B' or higher at the time of formal appointment and investiture.
