How this list was compiled: Our own word problems. Every number, log, budget and count is made up for the drill and none is a real statistic. The answer to each is arithmetic on the numbers in the question, worked out twice (2026-10-04). The skills are of the kind the New York City notice of examination for Correction Officer, Exam No. 7302, calls Number Facility and Mathematical Reasoning (https://www.nyc.gov/assets/dcas/downloads/pdf/noes/20277302000.pdf, read 2026-10-04); no police exam notice read for this page lists a math part. Licence: Questions, choices and explanations are original work of this site.
How it works
These police test math questions are 84 word problems of our own, set in made-up logs, shifts and patrols. Every answer is worked out step by step. They are general practice: no exam is said to contain them.

What the notices say
New York City's police officer notice for Exam No. 7311 to 7322 lists nine abilities and no math part, though its Information Ordering ability can include putting mathematical operations in order. New York State's entry-level law enforcement test guide lists no math subject. The city's Correction Officer notice for Exam No. 7302, open September 2 to October 27, 2026, lists Mathematical Reasoning and Number Facility.
Seven topics
The Start from menu under the question sets one: adding and subtracting, averages, elapsed time, speed and distance, percentages, unit rates or fractions, 12 questions each. Every log, budget and count is made up; none is a real statistic.
Paper test
A paper test prints with its answer key. Exam mode draws 20, our number.
For elapsed time, count up to the next full hour first, then add the rest.
For speed questions, turn the minutes into a part of 60 before you multiply.
The Missed pile, under More options, keeps what you got wrong. Clear my progress, under More options, erases what this browser keeps.
Questions and answers
Is there math on the police test?
It depends on the agency. The New York City police officer notice read for this page lists no math part, while the same city's Correction Officer notice lists Mathematical Reasoning and Number Facility. The notice or announcement for your own exam says what it tests.
What is on a police math test?
Where an agency tests math, its notice describes it. New York City's Correction Officer notice describes doing the four operations (add, subtract, multiply, divide) quickly and correctly, and choosing a method to solve a problem. This page drills those skills as word problems.
Is this a real police math practice test?
No. It is unofficial police exam math practice written for this site. No question comes from a real exam, a test publisher or a prep book, and no exam length or pass mark is implied.
Does this work as police numerical test practice?
As general practice, yes. An employer's own numerical test is not copied here; its format, timing and content are set by that employer. The seven topics cover whole numbers, time, speed, percentages, rates and fractions.
