Taking the Medicine Hat Police Recruiting Tests - APCAT and ACT are Only a Small Part of the Entire Process

The APCAT

The first part of this test measured your ability to absorb and retain information. You were given a study guide for 30 minutes, then it was taken away. There were three versions of the study guide, A, B, and C. No students at the same table received the same version so there was no way to copy from your neighbour.

The Study Guide included fictionalized reports of

  • missing persons

  • wanted persons

  • missing items

  • seized items

  • missing persons report
