The purpose of the literacy examination is to evaluate job applicants' reading comprehension and report writing skills to determine suitability for employment as a police officer. The physical skills test battery measures those physically demanding aspects of police officer job performance which are deemed essential. The report addresses the purpose of readability analysis, linkage analysis, examination development, and the report writing survey form. The physical skills test battery evaluation focuses on normative testing considerations, evidence of validity, and comparison of incumbent officers by sex. It is recommended that the reading comprehension and writing skills tests be combined into a single examination consisting of 100 multiple-choice questions. A time limit of 90 minutes is suggested. Users are encouraged to employ the examination only for purposes of initial screening.
