Police and gendarmerie recruitment exams
The police and gendarmerie exams recruit peace officers, officers and non-commissioned officers. Lumi helps you retain the written knowledge on the syllabus.
In short
The national police and the national gendarmerie recruit through separate exams, depending on the corps, for example peace officer, police officer, gendarmerie officer or non-commissioned officer. Tests vary with the grade. They generally include written papers, psychotechnical tests, physical tests, a medical check and an interview. The required level of study depends on the exam.
What goes on your cards
For these exams, make cards for criminal law and criminal procedure, how the State is organised, grammar and spelling rules, history-geography landmarks, maths basics and general culture. Lumi has you recall them.
A study rhythm
Split your week between sport, timed tests and cards, with a short Lumi session each day (Rawson and Dunlosky, 2011). Written papers are better prepared with regular reviews than with a final block (Kornell, 2009). Fix the date of the first test, then plan your countdown. See How to make a study schedule before an exam.
