Inside the cheat sheet
The 8 SJT Cardinal Rules
Situational judgment is where candidates lose the most points — not because the concepts are hard, but because they don't know the principles going in. These 8 rules are tested, directly or indirectly, on virtually every police written exam in the country.
- 1Always follow your supervisor's orders unless clearly illegal
- 2Never use more force than necessary
- 3Always report misconduct — including by fellow officers
- 4Never accept gifts or bribes
- 5Protect the public first
- 6De-escalate before escalating
- 7Document everything accurately
- 8Never lie on a report
The cheat sheet also includes math formulas, top grammar rules, the top 20 misspelled words, and a complete exam day checklist.
