What Our Candidates Say

"I studied with PolicePrep for 6 weeks before my OACP test. The SSPO practice exams were almost identical to the real thing — especially the English section. Passed on my first attempt and I'm now in the recruitment process with York Regional."

"The math prep was what saved me. I hadn't done algebra since high school, and the 55 practice tests broke everything down step by step. Scored in the top 15% on my SSPO exam."

"My college instructor recommended PolicePrep, and I'm glad I listened. Being able to take the practice tests over and over until I felt confident made all the difference. I passed the Peel Regional test last month."

Yes — wrong answers are penalized, but questions left blank are simply unscored. If you're not confident in an answer, it's better to leave it blank than guess. Our practice tests are designed to help you build the speed and accuracy needed to confidently answer as many questions as possible within the 35-minute limit.
Part C is the PRF-R (Personal Response Form — Revised), a 307-question personality assessment completed in the same proctored session immediately after the SSPO. It uses a 5-point scale (Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree) and is not pass/fail — your results are simply provided to the police service you’re applying to. There are no right or wrong answers. Our program focuses on preparing you for Part B (the SSPO), but knowing what to expect from Part C means no surprises on test day.
