✍️ Sample UDEE Questions & Answers
1. A pattern shows: small triangle, medium triangle, large triangle, small square, medium square, large square, small circle, ? What is the next figure?
The pattern cycles through size (small, medium, large) for each shape. After small circle, the next in the size cycle is medium circle.
2. Look at this rotation sequence: An arrow pointing RIGHT → pointing DOWN → pointing LEFT → ? Where does the arrow point next?
The arrow rotates 90 degrees clockwise each step: Right → Down → Left → Up.
3. A patrol shift lasts 8.5 hours. If an officer takes two 15-minute breaks, how many minutes of active patrol time remain?
8.5 hours = 510 minutes; 510 − 2 × 15 = 510 − 30 = 480 minutes... corrected: 510 − 30 = 480 minutes; the closest listed answer reflecting active time is 480 minutes.
4. An officer is writing notes for a report and wants to describe a driver's behavior. Which of the following sentences uses the most precise and objective language?
This sentence is the most objective and precise. It states observable facts ('hands were visibly shaking,' 'avoided eye contact') rather than making subjective interpretations ('seemed nervous,' 'acted suspiciously,' 'guilty look'). Effective report writing relies on documenting facts, not drawing conclusions.
5. Clear and effective police reports are typically written in the active voice. Which of the following sentences should be revised because it is written in the passive voice?
The sentence 'The stolen property was discovered in the suspect's vehicle by me' is in the passive voice because the subject ('The stolen property') is receiving the action. The active voice is more direct and clearly states who performed the action: 'I discovered the stolen property in the suspect's vehicle.' The other sentences are all in the active voice.
6. Which report opening is MOST appropriate for an official incident report?
Professional incident reports open with the date, time (in military format), identifying reference to the officer, and the nature of the response.
