This includes any Crossover applicants. The test contains 120 multiple-choice questions and covers written comprehension, written and oral expression, problem sensitivity, inductive and deductive reasoning, information ordering, spatial orientation, visualization, selective attention, and flexibility of closure. The passing score for entrance into the IPS Law Enforcement recruit programs is 80% and the IPS Corrections recruit program is 75% . The time limit for completing the CJBAT is 2.5 hours.

CJBAT results are good for four years after June 30, 2008.  \nOverview During the 2000 session, the Florida Legislature passed House Bill 1481 requiring applicants entering into a criminal justice basic recruit program to successfully pass a Commission-approved basic abilities test. This test is a multiple choice exam which tests the abilities identified as important for the successful performance of the entry-level law enforcement officer or corrections office.  \nThese abilities include:  \nVerbal Comprehension: Understanding the meaning of words or ideas.  \nAssociative Memory: Such as memorizing information from wanted posters that requires later recall and the information does not necessarily have a logical relationship.  \nMemory for Relationships: Such as step by step instructions and operating procedures used in filling out an incident report.  \nMemory for Ideas: Such as reading and understanding the main ideas and themes from police academy training materials.  \nSemantic Ordering: For example, an officer, when arriving at a crime scene, is required to make decisionson what order he/she should set about to accomplish the necessary tasks.  \nIdentifying Themes and Ideas: Reading material and making inferences and inducing certain issues/hypotheses from that information typically required of an officer in attempting to solve a crime.  \nProblem Sensitivity: For example, officers are constantly required to make decisions on what action to take (i.e., choosing between backing up another officer or stopping a traffic violator) .  \nObservational Judgment: Such as when observing an accident scene, an officer is required to “sift”through the information, visually and verbally, in order to determine what is relevant and important.  \nSpatial Orientation: For example, an officer is required to draw sketches of traffic accidents and in doing so must be able to visualize the placement of cars and directions in order to accurately depict the accident.  \nSpatial Scanning: Such as finding one's way through a paper maze, requiring quick scanning of the field for openings, following paths with the eye, and quickly rejecting false leads such as determining the quickest route to take to get to a crime scene.  \nVisualization: For example, an officer may not have a recent picture of a wanted felon but must be able to visualize this felon with possible physical changes.  \nWEBSITE:  [www.publicsafetyrecruitment.com](www.publicsafetyrecruitment.com) (Practice tests available)  \nNo person shall, on the basis or race, color, creed, religion, sex, age, handicap, marital status, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any educational program or activity under the direction of Lake Technical Center Charter Board.
