APPLICANT PREPARATION GUIDE FOR THE

POST ENTRY-LEVEL LAW ENFORCEMENT TEST BATTERY

PREPARING FOR THE EXAM

The POST Entry-Level Law Enforcement Test Battery (PELLETB) measures skills that are

associated with successful performance as a California peace officer. Because the PELLETB is an

aptitude test, the skills measured are acquired gradually over a long period of time (usually

years). There is no quick or easy way to improve these skills in preparation for the exam. The

only way to predictably improve scores on an aptitude test is through extensive learning and

practice (e.g., coursework, training).

Because the PELLETB is primarily a language aptitude test, one must already possess solid

language skills to perform well on the test. There are a few exercises that can be helpful in

maximizing performance if solid language skills are already in place. This test preparation guide

has been developed to provide helpful information about test format and content. This guide

explains exactly what is tested in the exam and provides sample questions that can be used for

practice. This guide also provides research-based information on the best strategies for

answering test questions.

WHAT THE EXAM MEASURES

The first two components of the PELLETB focus on language ability: one evaluates writing ability

and the other tests reading ability. The writing component of the test measures clarity,

vocabulary, and spelling. The reading component measures reading comprehension. The third

component of the exam focuses on reasoning ability.

Writing Ability

Each of the three writing sub-tests contains 18 items. In the clarity sub-test, sentences are

presented and the test-taker is asked to identify which sentence is most clearly and correctly

written. Only common writing errors (e.g., unclear references, misplaced modifiers, sentence

fragments, and run-on sentences) are included in the clarity portion of the exam.

The spelling sub-test uses a standard multiple-choice format. A sentence is given with one word

omitted. A blank indicates the location of the omitted word. Four alternative spellings of the

same word are given. The test-taker is asked to identify the word that is correctly spelled for

the given context.

The vocabulary sub-test also uses a standard multiple-choice format. One word in a sentence is

underlined and the test-taker is instructed to select the alternative that is the most accurate

synonym or definition. The words included in the spelling and vocabulary tests are common

words that may be encountered in law enforcement work.

2

Reading Ability

Reading ability is measured through the use of two sub-tests. The first is a 28-item reading

comprehension sub-test. This sub-test presents passages which vary in length from a single

paragraph to one page. After reading the passage, test-takers answer multiple-choice questions

about the information contained in the passage. All passages cover common concepts and

contain the information necessary to answer the questions.

The second measure of reading ability is the 40-item CLOZE sub-test. Test-takers are presented

with a passage of text. In each passage, the first and last sentences of the passage are

complete. Between the first and last sentences, every seventh word is systematically deleted

from the text. No word is deleted that cannot be deduced from context. In place of each

deleted word is a dashed line. Each dash represents one letter in the deleted word. The test-

taker must use contextual clues to determine what words would logically complete the

passage. The word must come from the test-taker's vocabulary as no alternative words or lists

of words are presented in the test. A word is considered correct if it is syntactically correct and

semantically appropriate (i.e., words selected by the test-taker must be the right part of speech

and must make sense in the passage). In some instances, there is more than one correct

response; in others, only one word can correctly fill the blank. In instances where more than

one word is correct, the test-taker receives credit as long as he/she selects a word that fits

within the context.
