POST test

I took the police officer state exam today. It was pretty easy, but there was an entire half of the exam that I'm concerned about, and it's for a reason that one probably wouldn't suspect. The second half of the exam consists of paragraphs about a topic, and you have to fill in the blank spots with words that fit the conversation. There are not hints. You just fill in what makes sense from your own vocabulary. Then you take the first letter of that word and bubble it out on the scantron. Why this bothers me is that if you're someone with a very rich vocabulary, you're probably going to be getting a lot of these wrong because where someone might think a simple word, I found myself running through a whole bunch of different words in my head that ALL fit the context, but only one of them was going to be right. It was very frustrating, and personally, I think that part of the exam is designed badly. But I took it, and now I wait for the results. I have no idea on the turn around time.

Stumble It!
