    Hello,

    Need the practice, losts of it.
    I have the 'How to pass the police..' and the data sheet questions aren't on it, so is there any other book out there?????

    The "How to Pass.." book underestimates the test by a long shot. The test was more difficult, and there was alot more table information to disseminate on the day, so time management is something to certainly work on. I tried alot of iq type tests on the internet beforehand which seemed to help abit.

    Last year I used the How to pass book and went into the exam. When I turned over the data sheet Iwasn't one bit ready for it at all. I've look at some stuff on the net but I cant find anything on Data Sheet questions,or even what the proper title for that section is.

    believe it or not 11+ papers help. if you time yourself doin them and do them without usin a calculator they will inevitably increase your mental ability. i did a few last year and i tell ya at 26 years old i still couldnt et 100 percent. i think there kinda like the brain trainin game on the nintendo ds.

    u can get them at easons for a few quid. im not sayin they will have you prepared but they help quite a bit!

    It's never far from my mind!! I wake up each morning and one of the first thoughts that hit me (after "holy *%@&, it's *%@*ing freezing!!) is " will this be THE BIG DAY??" Then i spend the day with my phone on vibrate and tucked in my bra so I don't miss THE CALL when I'm in work.

    Is this normal?? LOLOL

    Things that vibrate.

    :D:D:D:D

    There's a method to my madness. If my phone starts to vibrate, I pretend I'm off to the ladies so I can answer it. If i leave it beside my computer then there's a risk I might miss a call when I'm skiving.... I mean... with a client....

    This is one of those conversations that has potential to go somewhere it shouldn't... ;)

    So I'll just mention I don't have a bra to tuck my phone into and leave it at that :D
