Time management during MPOETC exam — how fast are you supposed to go?
Did a full timed practice test today and ran out of time with 12 questions left. Definitely have a time management problem.
The MPOETC - Municipal Police Officers Education and Training Commission exam has 107 questions and the time limit is 130 minutes by my understanding. That works out to roughly 63 seconds per question — which should be doable except I keep stopping on "mpoetc practice test" type questions.
My bad habit: I over-analyze questions I'm unsure about rather than making a best guess and moving on.
Any strategies that worked for you? Specifically:
- Do you go through once and skip hard questions to come back to?
- How many questions on "mpoetc test" should I expect — is it worth the time investment?
- Is the real exam usually easier to pace than practice tests, or harder?
I'm good enough on the content, I think — it's purely pacing that's failing me.
