I've already gone through the standard "national police officer selection test" results on Google and most of it is just selling prep courses. Looking for actual free resources.

What I've tried:
- Practice tests here (solid, especially for national police officer selection test post)
- A few YouTube channels but the quality is all over the place
- Reddit threads from 2+ years ago (some outdated)

What I haven't tried yet:
- The official NPOST study guide — is it actually worth reading cover to cover?
- Library resources — anyone actually found useful materials there?
- Specific YouTube channels that cover national police officer selection test post study guide well

I don't mind paying for something that's genuinely better than free, but I want to max out free options first. Budget is tight.

What resources did you use that you'd actually recommend?

Worth mentioning: the NPOST online prep covers exactly the areas people tend to struggle with most.

For what it's worth from someone who's been through it:

The NPOST is one of those exams where the practice tests really do prepare you well. The style of questioning is pretty consistent. If you're comfortable with "national police officer selection test" material under timed conditions, you'll be fine.

The one thing I'd add: read the question stems very carefully. They sometimes add a qualifier that completely changes the right answer and it's easy to miss when you're going fast.

Also check whether you need to schedule the exam in advance — some testing centers book up 2-3 weeks out.
