About

The maths test consists of 59 questions and its time limit is 40 minutes. Because you have less than a minute per question, you have to work quickly through the questions in order to complete the test within the time limit. Whilst this may seem intimidating, with practice your speed will increase and hopefully you will get to a point where you will have plenty of time at the end to go over your answers. The prison officer selection tests are taken online.

As well as this, once you have got through the original POST maths test you have to retake a shorter version of this test in the assessment centre or RAD.

The Prison Officer numeracy test allows you to use your calculator, so make sure you know how you can use it for the best results. There are up to 11 different answer options for each question. You select the correct option by clicking on it.
