What the free test covers
The practice set is split evenly across reading comprehension of post orders and policy, basic math word problems tied to scheduling and counts, logical reasoning with conditional rules, and situational judgment scenarios covering visitor screening, unattended items, confrontation, and integrity.
Each question includes the correct answer and a short explanation of the reasoning, so a missed question becomes a learning moment rather than a dead end.
How to use it effectively
Take it once untimed to build familiarity with the format, reviewing every answer explanation regardless of whether you got the question right. Then take it again in timed mode to check your pacing under realistic conditions.
If a particular category (say, logic) is consistently weaker, spend extra time specifically on that category before moving to a full timed run — a scattered study approach across all categories equally is usually less efficient than targeting your actual weak point.
