Done testing

Hey guys just thought that i would let you all know that i did my stage 1 of the ATS testing this past weekend so i thought that i would share a few things for those who are preparing to write....

First thing..For the PATI i found that I was really pressed for time which was werid b/c doing the practice tests on PolicePrep i always had about 20 mins to review...I found that i spent too much time on the math and problem solving sections...The other three sections were very similar too the practice tests on this website. I had enough time to finish the test and i reviewed for about 5 mins.
The WCT was alot longer than the ones on here but i found that it did prepare you alright for the actual test. Make sure you read the situation carefully b/c it is easy to miss the little important details. Again you have to WATCH YOUR TIME!!! They allowed us about 3-5 mins in between the PATI and WCT so you can just imagine how mentally draning the first half is.
And than the physical....this was the easiest stage throughout the day!! they give you a chance to warm up with the equipment and than they run you threw the test 1 at a time with everyone watching, (little weird if your not used to being on display) give you your time and than you head to the beep test...which if you can run for like 6 mins you'll be fine!!!
So far all i know is that i passed my physical soim now waiting for the results from the writting tests. I just thought that i would give those who are going to write a little heads up about the whole process!!!

Any questions just ask and i'll do my best to answer them!!!

What was the difference in the math portion that you felt slowed you down. And if you can what would you say to focus on other than whats on the Policeprep site?

Thanks,

Hey Guest,

I am taking my test this weekend comming up, and i just had a few questions for you if you dont mind. When you were doing the prep did anyone fail? And How do they decide who goes first and the order you go in? Also after your done the course, do you waite for everyone to finish the course before you move on to the shuddle run? just wondering how that works cause if you did the course first wouldnt you have more time to rest?
Did you find you had enough rest and energy to finish the beep test?

Thanks in advance.

Im not sure what else to focus on other than just this wedsite thats all that i studied from and it helped for the most part. The math was easier than on this website and with that i mean you didn;t have to deal as much with larger number or decimals. Same with the word problems not as indepth as on here but the wording is where it can get difficult. I just focused on those too sections i think for soo long because they are my srtong points so i wanted to make sure I didn't make any mistakes..You just have to make sure you dont spend too much time cause before you know it its pens down

Thanks.

That is the one section I myself have to study the most. I feel I am on the right track. Thanks for the info.
