The information contained in this guide is intended to only assist you and in no way will guarantee your success on the examination.  \nDISCLAIMER  \nWaiver of Liability  \nThe City of Richmond, Virginia, the Richmond Police Department and its elected officials, officers, agents, servants and employees hereby deny, and therefore disclaim, any and all responsibility or liability to any person or party for any injury, dismemberment, damage, loss, and/or death in any way resulting from the use of this Applicant Preparation Guide or any information contained in this Applicant Preparation Guide.  \nPreparing for the Test  \nTo improve your chances of obtaining the highest possible score on this examination, you must spend a fair amount of time preparing for the exam. In addition to your mental preparation, you must also consider your physical preparation. On your test date, you should arrive early so as to have time to relax and become comfortable in your testing environment. This will also help to relieve any anxiety that you may be experiencing. Be sure to listen carefully to all directions and be sure to follow the directions given. If you do not understand any part of the directions given, ask questions prior to the start of the examination.  \n? Arrive Early  \n? Listen  \n? Relax  \n? Ask Questions  \nTest Format  \nThe exam used by the Richmond Police Department is made up of four separately timed test sections: Math, Reading Comprehension, Grammar and Report Writing. The math, reading comprehension and grammar sections are multiple choice and true false questions. The report writing section will require that you write your answers incomplete sentences, using proper grammar, capitalization and punctuation.  \nYou should read each question carefully and attempt to answer the question prior to looking at the choices. If you know the answer, compare it to the available choices and select the best available answer. You WILL NOT be allowed to write in your examination booklet; however you will be provided with paper where notes can be written during the course of the exam.  \nFailure to answer all questions on the exam could prove to lower your score. You will not be penalized for wrong answers. If you don’t know the answer to a question, first eliminate those choices that are clearly incorrect and make an educated guess as to the answer which seems to be most likely correct. If the testing time is nearing the end, be sure that you have recorded an answer for each question. If you have extra time, you will be allowed to check your work on that section of the test only. DO NOT RETURN TO A PREVIOUS SECTION OR MOVE FORWARD TO THE NEXT SECTION BEFORE YOU ARE INSTRUCTED. THIS WILL DISQUALIFY YOU FROM THE TESTING PROCESS.  \nIf you encounter a word or phrase with which you are not familiar, re-read the sentence to determine its meaning without focusing on the unfamiliar word or phrase. If you understand the general message of the sentence or paragraph, you will likely better understand the meaning of the unfamiliar word or phrase.  \nAvoid choosing an answer because it “looks right”. An incorrect answer may contain an exact phrase from the original question, but is presented in a different way. If you have an answer in mind, before looking at the choices, you are less likely to choose an answer simply because it “looks right”.  \nIt is important to note the amount of time allowed for each section of the test. You should pace yourself so as not to spend too much time on questions causing you difficulty. If you find that you are spending too much time on any one question, take your best guess and move on. You may note the question number and time permitting, you can return to the question for further review.  \nSection I – Mathematics (20 Minutes)  \n1. An arrested woman’s bail was set at $5000.00.
