1Read the passage: 'Victoria Police officers must complete an incident report within 24 hours of attending a callout. Reports submitted after this period require a supervisor's written approval.' According to the passage, when does a report require a supervisor's written approval?
A.When it is submitted within 24 hours
B.When it is submitted more than 24 hours after the callout
C.When it concerns a serious crime
D.When it is written by a probationary officer
Explanation: The passage states reports must be completed within 24 hours, and any report submitted after that period needs a supervisor's written approval. The trigger is the lateness of the submission.
2Choose the sentence that is grammatically correct.
A.The officer and his partner was patrolling the area.
B.The officer and his partner were patrolling the area.
C.The officer and his partner is patrolling the area.
D.The officer and his partner be patrolling the area.
Explanation: A compound subject joined by 'and' is plural and takes the plural verb 'were'. 'The officer and his partner were patrolling' uses correct subject-verb agreement.
3Which word is spelled correctly?
A.Occurrence
B.Occurence
C.Ocurrence
D.Occurrance
Explanation: 'Occurrence' is the correct spelling, with a double 'c', double 'r', and the ending '-ence'. Report writing accuracy is assessed in the literacy component.
4Read the passage: 'A protective services officer (PSO) is stationed at designated railway stations to deter and respond to anti-social behaviour. PSOs have powers within a defined area around their station.' What is the main purpose of a PSO described in the passage?
A.To investigate major organised crime
B.To deter and respond to anti-social behaviour at railway stations
C.To issue driver licences
D.To manage prison custody
Explanation: The passage explicitly states a PSO is stationed at railway stations to deter and respond to anti-social behaviour. This is the stated main purpose.
5Select the word that best completes the sentence: 'The witness gave a ___ account of the incident, leaving no detail out.'
A.vague
B.thorough
C.brief
D.reluctant
Explanation: 'Thorough' means complete and detailed, which matches 'leaving no detail out'. Vocabulary in context is tested in the literacy component.
6Which sentence uses an apostrophe correctly?
A.The officers radio stopped working.
B.The officer's radio stopped working.
C.The officers' radio stopped working when one officer used it.
D.The officers radio's stopped working.
Explanation: 'The officer's radio' correctly shows singular possession: one officer owns the radio. The apostrophe before the 's' indicates a single owner.
7Read the passage: 'All applicants for Victoria Police must hold a valid Australian driver licence. Learner permits are not accepted, and applicants must have no more than 7 demerit points at the time of application.' Based on the passage, which applicant is eligible?
A.An applicant holding a learner permit with 0 demerit points
B.An applicant with a full licence and 8 demerit points
C.An applicant with a probationary licence and 5 demerit points
D.An applicant with no licence
Explanation: The passage requires a valid driver licence (probationary is a valid licence type, learner permits are not) and no more than 7 demerit points. Five demerit points on a probationary licence satisfies both conditions.
8Choose the correctly punctuated sentence.
A.After securing the scene the officer interviewed the witnesses, took photographs and filed a report.
B.After securing the scene, the officer interviewed the witnesses, took photographs, and filed a report.
C.After securing the scene the officer, interviewed the witnesses took photographs and filed a report.
D.After, securing the scene the officer interviewed the witnesses took photographs and filed a report.
Explanation: A comma follows the introductory phrase 'After securing the scene', and commas separate the items in the list. This produces a clear, correctly punctuated sentence.
9Read the passage: 'The entrance exam is delivered online through remote proctoring, where a webcam supervises the candidate. Candidates who prefer in-person testing may attend a venue in Camberwell, Melbourne.' Which statement is true according to the passage?
A.The exam can only be sat at the Camberwell venue
B.Remote proctoring uses a webcam to supervise candidates
C.The exam is paper-based
D.Candidates may not choose how to sit the exam
Explanation: The passage states the online exam is delivered through remote proctoring using a webcam to supervise. This is directly supported by the text.
10Which word is the antonym (opposite) of 'deter'?
A.prevent
B.discourage
C.encourage
D.delay
Explanation: 'Deter' means to discourage or stop someone from doing something. Its opposite is 'encourage', which means to promote or support an action.

Victoria Police Exam Study Tips from Top Performers

1Drill reading comprehension across varied texts — including ones with graphs, charts, and maps — because the literacy section uses about six different text types.
2Practise grammar, spelling, vocabulary, and concise report-writing conventions; written communication is assessed in both the literacy and report-writing components.
3Master core numeracy skills: money, percentages, rates, ratios, fractions, decimals, area, volume, and reading data from tables and graphs.
4Get comfortable with the onscreen calculator and 24-hour time so you can work quickly within the 35-minute numeracy limit.
5Answer every question — points are not deducted for wrong answers, so educated guessing can only help your score.
6Aim well above the 111 pass mark by working under timed conditions, since literacy allows only 30 minutes and abstract reasoning just 20 minutes.
7Register with Victoria Police recruiting first, then confirm your ACER booking, ID, and remote-proctoring or Camberwell venue logistics before exam day.
