APD requires no college credits. Im taking the tests primarily for experience. Whatever happens happens. I attend College and work part time so we will see.

I’m signed up to take both of those test’s as well.

Hopefully my college degree will help me out.

I’ll also be taking Rensselaer PD exam.

FYI The test is not a cakewalk guys… If you look at some of the sample test’s there is a lot to get strung up on.

I’m sure Ray could chime in as well.

The PAT will also follow, I’d assume a couple weeks after the test.

1.5 Mile in 12:29 (20-29 y/o)  
29 Pushups  
39 Situps in under 90 seconds ( i think )

The selection process is insane. But that’s a good thing I guess.

Does anyone know if the Renssalaer County exam is going to be given? It hasn’t been released yet and it’s usually every two years…

yeah thanks… i was number 66 out of 18,000+ who took the test and scored a legit %100 not counting the people who used there 5 veteran points to get a %100… i really wanna get into the state police jc bv of pay and what not… already took the PT tests  
1.5 mile run-12.18min  
40 sit ups-1 min  
33 push ups

I know the Major who is in charge of ALL recruiting in NYSP and he was telling me that because im not finished up with my 60 credits yet ( in January i will) that i would have to wait 2 Acad. Class (every 6 MO) so the soonest i could get into the state would be in a least a year. So i figured that i would go into another PD that i only need 30 credits and then just transfer later on dow the road.  
So im taking on the 15th  
-Cohoes PD  
-Albany County Sheriffs  
-Schenectady PD

But seriously good luck to everyone that is taking the tests, I recomend if you are taking the tests download the online study guides and just review, that what i did on the state test. Also if your not sure whats going to be onthe tests they are all pretty much the same…

Basic Math (±) and you get scrap paper  
Basic Grammer/English Skills  
Situational Questions (what happened?,what was the order of events?..ect)they give you a situation like “robbery” or whatnot  
Personality Questions (ex. " you work better alone." and then theres a scale 1(not at all)-10(all the time) )

I was told their wasn’t personality questions. Also basic math wasn’t on any of the practice test. But I could be wrong.

State police is a good gig. Getting in is very difficult without a college degree, there are a ton of applicants. Also I dont think people realize how hard is. You can get DQd for tons of shit in your past. Can basically have no drug use, MJ like 3 times? Etc.

Good luck to you though, that’s a great score.

yeah idk exaclty whats on these tests… that was what was on the state test…

yeah people dont realize what they can get DQ’d for ( for the state - theres a lot you can get dq’d for)  
im thinking the locals will be a little easier than the state…well hopefully

the thing that sucks about transferring into the state police is that you have to go through their academy
