1In the police-complaints passage reproduced in Politiskolen's published sample reading set, what deadline does the passage state for a complaint about police conduct?

A.Within 6 months after the incident occurred

B.Within 30 days after the incident occurred

C.Within 1 year after the incident occurred

D.There is no deadline for filing conduct complaints

Explanation: The published sample passage says the complaint must be made before half a year has passed after the incident. This item tests retrieval from that historical sample passage; it is not current legal guidance on how to file a police complaint.

2In the fireworks passage reproduced in Politiskolen's published sample reading set, what does the acronym 'NEM' stand for?

A.Netto Eksplosiv Mængde (Net Explosive Quantity)

B.National Eksplosions Model (National Explosion Model)

C.Nominel Energi Måling (Nominal Energy Measurement)

D.Nøje Efterset Materiale (Strictly Inspected Material)

Explanation: A footnote in the published sample passage expands NEM as Netto Eksplosiv Mængde and explains it as the powder content. The item tests close reading of that sample passage rather than independent knowledge of current fireworks rules.

3According to the fireworks passage in Politiskolen's published sample reading set, during which dates may fireworks be sold?

A.From December 15 to December 31

B.From December 1 to January 1

C.From December 27 to January 1

D.Year-round with a police permit

Explanation: The sample passage states that fireworks may be sold from 15 December through 31 December. This is a reading-comprehension item based on a historical sample, not advice about the rules in force today.

4According to the fireworks passage in Politiskolen's published sample reading set, during which dates may fireworks be used?

A.From December 27 to January 1

B.From December 15 to December 31

C.Exclusively on New Year's Eve (December 31) from 18:00 to 06:00

D.From December 24 to January 2

Explanation: The sample passage states that fireworks may be used from 27 December through 1 January. The point is to distinguish the passage's use period from its separate sales period; the historical sample is not current legal advice.

5In the fireworks passage from Politiskolen's published sample reading set, what maximum residential storage amount is stated?

A.Maximum 5 kg NEM (approximately 20 kg gross weight)

B.Maximum 1 kg NEM (approximately 4 kg gross weight)

C.Maximum 15 kg NEM (approximately 60 kg gross weight)

D.No fireworks may be stored in private dwellings overnight

Explanation: The sample passage states a residential maximum of 5 kg NEM and gives 20 kg as the approximate gross amount. This tests extracting a number and unit from the historical sample passage, not applying current storage law.

6In the fireworks passage from Politiskolen's published sample reading set, which limit and location are stated for transport in a private car?

A.Maximum 3 kg NEM stored strictly in the vehicle's trunk, with zero fireworks in the passenger cabin

B.Maximum 3 kg NEM, which may be divided between the trunk and passenger cabin if secured

C.Maximum 5 kg NEM, provided all of it is kept in the trunk

D.No stated weight limit if the fireworks remain in their retail packaging

Explanation: The sample passage states a maximum of 3 kg NEM, approximately 12 kg gross, in a passenger car's luggage compartment and says none may be in the cabin. The item tests two linked details in the historical sample rather than current transport law.

7According to the fireworks passage in Politiskolen's published sample reading set, when may lawful fireworks be taken to a police station?

A.When total station storage will not exceed 5 kg NEM and the station uses the designated storage cabinets

B.When total station storage will not exceed 5 kg NEM, regardless of where it is stored

C.When total station storage will not exceed 20 kg NEM and designated cabinets are used

D.Never; the passage bars station storage of both lawful and unlawful fireworks

Explanation: The sample passage permits transport of lawful fireworks to a station only if total station storage does not exceed 5 kg NEM; it also notes that storage cabinets are installed. It does not describe the cabinets as certified fireproof, and the historical passage is not current operational guidance.

8In the fireworks passage from Politiskolen's published sample reading set, where does the passage direct police to store unlawful fireworks?

A.They must never be brought into or stored at police stations; they must be transported to designated military barracks depots

B.They may be held in the station's designated cabinet up to the 5 kg NEM station limit

C.They may be held at the station if Army EOD first confirms the packaging is stable

D.They should be returned to the owner after officers record their identifying marks

Explanation: The sample passage says unlawful fireworks must not be brought to or stored at police stations and instead must go to the depot at the nearest barracks. This is interpretation of the published historical passage, not current operational instruction.

9In the involuntary-admission passage from Politiskolen's published sample reading set, which condition corresponds to 'yellow papers' (gule papirer)?

A.The patient is psychotic and prospects of cure or major recovery would be significantly impaired without treatment

B.The patient presents an immediate and acute danger to the life of others

C.The patient would benefit from follow-up care but does not have the psychiatric condition stated in the passage

D.The patient's family requests admission, but the stated psychiatric and treatment conditions are absent

Explanation: The sample passage links yellow papers to a person who is psychotic, or in an equivalent condition, when not detaining the person for treatment would substantially impair the prospect of recovery or major improvement. This tests comprehension of a published historical sample, not application of current mental-health law.

10In the involuntary-admission passage from Politiskolen's published sample reading set, which condition corresponds to 'red papers' (røde papirer)?

A.The patient is psychotic and presents an immediate and substantial danger to themselves or others

B.The patient is psychotic and the prospect of substantial recovery would otherwise be impaired

C.The patient previously received psychiatric inpatient care but presents no stated immediate danger

D.A physician considers treatment helpful, but the stated psychiatric and danger conditions are absent

Explanation: The sample passage associates red papers with a person who is psychotic, or in an equivalent condition, and presents an immediate and substantial danger to self or others. The item is limited to reading that historical sample passage.

About the Politiskolens optagelsesprøver Exam

Politiskolens optagelsesprøver are the admission assessments for Denmark's police-officer (politibetjent) and police-cadet (politikadet) education. The process uses Ishihara colour-vision screening, six physical tests, Danish dictation and reading tests, a written case, a collaborative group task, and a personal interview. This bank contains 67 English-language four-option MCQs grounded in Politiskolen's published sample material, written-case criteria, admissions pages, and current physical standards. It is an independent study adaptation, not an official translation, an official-format simulation, or a substitute for practising Danish writing, physical performance, group work, or interview responses.

Assessment

Stage 1: Ishihara color vision test, 6-event physical test, and 3-hour written examination (dictation, reading comprehension, case essay). Stage 2 (approx. 2 weeks later): 2.5-hour group dilemma task and 30-45 minute structured personal interview.

Time Limit

Published component times: physical test about 3 hours; written examination about 3 hours, including a 2-hour case; group task about 2.5 hours; interview about 30–45 minutes.

Exam Fee

Not published by Politiskolen. Applicants must cover requested transport, health-examination, and certificate costs. (Center for Politirekruttering, Rigspolitiet)

3Practice writing structured prose analyses without bullet points or subheadings, strictly adhering to the 3,600 to 4,800 character length requirement (including spaces).

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Danish Police Academy admission examination (Politiets Optagelsesprøve) involve?

The process has two assessment days. Day 1 includes Ishihara colour-vision screening, six physical tests, and Danish dictation, reading, and case tests. Day 2 is normally about two weeks later and includes a roughly 2.5-hour group task and a 30–45 minute interview with a panel of up to four people.

What is the difference in testing requirements for Politibetjent and Politikadet?

Both tracks complete the same physical test, Ishihara vision screening, dictation, reading comprehension test, and Day 2 group task and interview. However, only applicants for the police officer education (Politibetjent) are required to pass the 2-hour gymnasial-level written case report (skriftlig case). Police cadet applicants (Politikadet) write the case test, but their passing requirement is restricted to the dictation and reading comprehension tests.

How much does it cost to take the Politiskolen admission tests?

Politiskolen's public admissions pages do not publish an application or test fee. Current health guidance says applicants must cover requested transport, health-examination, and certificate costs; a synsattest is required with the application when the applicant has reduced vision.

Are these official Politiskolen exam questions?

No. These independent questions are an English-language MCQ study adaptation of published Politiskolen material. They are not an official translation or official-format simulation and cannot replace Danish dictation, reading, case writing, physical training, group work, or interview practice.

What does Politiskolen assess in the written case?

The current assessment guide covers character count, simple and readable language, sentence construction and coherence, punctuation, grammar, spelling, content and argumentation, and logical structure. It also addresses correct fixed expressions and varied, natural vocabulary within the language category.
