I just finished my WCT Test but didn't past? My conclusion wasn't right? Any suggestions on what I should be doing?

Douglas,
I would say, look over the example tests on www.policeprep.com and get some practice that way.
They look at grammar and spelling as well; looking at your post that might be something to focus on.

Example:
\"I just finished my WCT Test but didn't past?\" First thing it?s not really a question you're making a statement so lose the ?. Second is the spelling of pass you have \"past\".

Hope this helps

I received no complaints about my grammar or spelling. I was told that my conclusion was not accurate? I was told to look at the order of the vehicles. I was wondering how you would determine the cause of an accident? Is there a formula used by the Police?

Thanks

No police knowledge is required for these tests.
There is only one possible conclusion to the WCT. I can?t get into much more detail since we all sign confidentiality sheets when taking the test.
I still say work on grammar and spelling and sign up and study the practice WCT tests on this site.

I just did the WCT a couple days ago and I found that if you do the fact sheet correctly and in chronological order then the conclusion will jump right out at you! you cant miss it. Since im more of a visual person I made lots of drawings on the scrap map and imagined the 'occurance' as it was unfolding, kind of like I was hovering overhead watching it happen. Once it was umscrambled in my head, I wrote it down, making sure it was true with the facts.
I nailed the conclusion as I knew everything that happened in order from start to finish.

yeah what craig did is what I did......I also learned from doing ride alongs and seeing accidents, the different causes of accidents and scenarios. I have also looked at the way officers do their synopsis and things and took what I learned form them and put it to use......and I passed with no problems. In fact I was not worried about that part at all......AI was more worried about the PATI.........

Good Luck.....maybe take a writing course or something at a local college to get you in practice of writing things.
