Introduction to the Assessment Process I/O Solutions has been retained to develop and validate the promotional processes for the Forest Preserve District of Cook County Police Department. I/O Solutions is a public safety personnel consulting firm located in the suburban Chicago area (Westchester, IL). The firm employs Industrial/Organizational psychologists who work exclusively with public safety clients (police, fire, sheriff’s departments, correctional facilities, etc.) to develop, validate and implement promotional and entry-level selection processes. Our staff members have Master’s & Ph.D. level training in test development, individual and group-level assessment, performance management, psychometrics and validation & legal issues in selection testing. We work exclusively in the public sector to apply our knowledge in aiding agencies with their entry-level selection and promotional needs. I/O Solutions has several goals in developing a promotional process for the Forest Preserve District of Cook County Police Department. First and foremost, the selection procedures must be valid, fair and legally defensible. A valid process is relevant to the department and positions in question, measures the critical skills and abilities necessary for promotion, and aids the department in selecting highly qualified individuals for promotion. Also, the process should conform to appropriate legal guidelines regarding the selection and testing of candidates. In addition, the process should also treat all candidates with dignity and respect, and rules should be fairly and equitably applied. This Promotional Examination Study Guide & Reading List has been prepared to introduce you to the Promotional Process for the Forest Preserve District of Cook County Police Department’s Sergeant rank. This guide will familiarize you with the written examination process and provide you with general information about subsequent selection steps. This guide will also supply information to assist you in performing your best on the upcoming assessment. Following are the sections that this guide will cover:           

I. Process Components and Development The promotional process will consist of several steps. First, a written examination will be developed and administered. The written exam is scheduled for August 16, 2014. The written examination will be a job-knowledge examination with content drawn directly from pre-specified source materials. The source materials were chosen with input from the Forest Preserve District of Cook County Police Department and based on I/O Solutions’ experience in developing promotional examinations for other police departments. The source materials and the knowledge contained in these materials are intended to be related to the primary knowledge, skills and abilities required for the position. It is important that you view the reading list at the end of this study guide to review the materials that will be included in the written examination. There will be a passing score on the written exam, and only candidates passing the test will be allowed to move on to the second step in the promotional process—the assessment center. The exam passing score is determined by the District’s Employment Plan—you must achieve a score of 70% or greater. Military points can be applied to passing scores. Candidates will be given three (3) hours to complete a 100 question job knowledge examination. During this time, candidates will also have the opportunity to submit written test-item appeals. An assessment center will be administered to the candidates who pass the written examination at the determined cutoff score.

Format and Structure of the Job-Knowledge Examination

I/O Solutions employs a promotional testing model that relies on a closed-book job knowledge examination. This model is successfully employed with clients nationwide. Thus, during the administration of the job knowledge exams, candidates will NOT be allowed to use any textbooks, notes, or any other materials to complete the examination (this is not an open-book test). A job-knowledge exam consists of questions/items that are based on pre-specified resource materials and cover material that is deemed important to successful performance on the job. Job-knowledge items are typically constructed in a multiplechoice format. In the case of this exam, this means that there is one correct answer option and three incorrect answer options. Your goal is to select the correct response from among the four (4) possible options. The following is an example of a jobknowledge item that I/O Solutions has developed to aid in your understanding of what the questions will look like in your exam:

1.

Which of the following statements is TRUE regarding a police officer’s Fourth Amendment rights? a. b.

c.

d.

The Fourth Amendment applies to police officers who are on duty just as it would to any other citizen. Police officers enjoy a reasonable expectation of privacy with regard to their assigned lockers and equipment, and these cannot be searched without probable cause. Because police officers sometimes must protect their identities, an officer cannot be ordered to submit to a lineup without an order from the court. Because of the nature of the employment, a police officer can be subjected to investigative procedures that would not be permitted when an ordinary citizen is involved.

Answer: D

II.(a) Specific Format Items on the final written examination will be in the multiple choice format, with four response options. There will be 100 items in the final written examination. Items on the examination are organized by source. A bolded header introduces each subsection of the examination and the source where the items in that subsection were written from. This may help provide a candidate with appropriate context to better answer an examination question. As a job-knowledge based examination, the item stem (i.e., the question) and the response options (i.e., the correct answer and the incorrect response options) are often drawn directly from the examination source materials. Certainly, it is important to note that the correct answer is always drawn directly from the source materials. Based on the organization of the examination into subsections, as described above, you may have a full understanding of where the content for a particular item is being drawn from. It is possible to have discrepancies between the correct answer of an examination item, as specified by the written source material, and the common department practice used in the field. It is important to note that, in this situation, the correct answer is always drawn from the specific written source material, not the common department practice. Any examination appeals indicating confusion regarding the answer to an exam item, as described by the source material, due to a common department practice may be summarily dismissed upon review. III.

Importance of Reading the Study Material

It is critical for candidates to read all of the study material thoroughly. Our goal in working with the subject matter experts from your department was to identify the relevant job knowledge someone needs upon promotion. Therefore, this study material was chosen by the subject matter experts in conjunction with I/O Solutions to tap into important job-knowledge areas associated with successful performance. Subsequently, I/O Solutions develops all examination questions directly from the identified source material. Thus, becoming familiar with the source material can significantly improve your exam score. Many candidates simply fail to read (or study) the examination material and conduct little or no preparation for the written examination. I/O Solutions has conducted extensive research on the relationship between candidate study habits and test performance. The single greatest factor impacting candidate performance is examination preparation (not test-taking ability or academic intelligence). In particular, simply reading the source material has a substantial impact on test performance. In our research, candidates who simply read the examination sources pass the examination at a rate of 75-80%. In contrast, those candidates who fail to read the source material pass at a rate of 20-25%. While the specifics of your promotional process may vary, simply reading the examination material can aid in putting you in a position for promotion!

That said, please remember that the written examination is a competitive process. A cutoff score will be set for the process to ensure minimally qualified candidates are included in the secondary process. It should be noted that you have significant control over your destiny in the promotional process. Strong, focused preparation and a great deal of effort can greatly help to ensure your success.

Studying for the Exam

As mentioned above, it will be necessary to study for the exam to improve your chances of performing well. There are many proven methods of study that can enhance your performance when applied appropriately. It should be noted that different methods work better for certain individuals. The following provides a few brief suggestions on methods of preparation for the exam. 1. Read the Material: As stated above, it is absolutely critical for candidates to read the study material. There is no substitute for this method of preparation. 2. Highlight important information: When reading the source materials, you may want to highlight information that you think is particularly important with a highlighter/marker. Later, as the exam date approaches, you can review the highlighted material. 3. Take notes/make flashcards: Many individuals find it helpful to take notes on the important material during the course of his/her reading. With this method, you can put the author’s ideas into your own words, which will be easier for you to recall at a later date. Another similar study method involves making “flashcards” on 3” x 5” note cards. The goal of either method is to condense the amount of reading material to the most important and relevant aspects of the source. Also, your goal should be to make this material understandable in your own words. For example, you might read a section of the NFPA standards (for example) and take some time to decipher the meaning of this standard. Then, in your own words, explain the nature and meaning of the standard in your notes or flashcards. With either method, you should be prepared to spend some time studying the notes or flashcards in the weeks prior to the exam. Also, note that such methods significantly increase your preparation time for the examination. 4. Study with a partner/group: Many individuals find it helpful to study with a partner or group of individuals who are also preparing for the exam. This way you can discuss the material with them, determine what the most important material is and analyze difficult concepts. In addition, study groups can divide duties and prepare brief summaries on the reading material to share with other group members. You might try preparing brief summaries or having various group members verbally describe a particular issue or section of the reading material in an informal presentation. Explaining and describing material to others is a great way to learn the material yourself! 5. Answer practice questions: If a practice test is available on a particular subject, you should also take the time to complete the practice exam. Otherwise, there are several other helpful methods of preparation to help you in answering exam

questions. First, if a book chapter has “questions for review” at the end of the chapter, you should try to answer these questions immediately after reading the material. In addition, once you have completed a section of material, you can review the material and try to determine what questions might be asked of you on an examination. You should be able to answer these questions once you have read the material. 6. Study the material: This may seem rather evident, but there are two steps to studying. First, you must read the material. Then, you must review the material at a later time. This may involve reviewing notes, highlighted portions of the material, flashcards, group study sessions or completely re-reading the source. Regardless, there should be at least one other review of the material to gain understanding and help with recall when the actual test occurs. It may go without saying, but if you spend time taking notes, making flashcards or highlighting during your initial reading/study phase, you should then spend time reviewing this material before the exam. For example, if you choose to highlight important material from the text, you should spend some time the week before the exam in reviewing the highlighted passages. This may involve reading the highlighted sections several times. 7. Memorize: There is certain material that must be memorized for an exam. While, for example, we can advocate reading and taking notes in your own words, it is important to understand that some material must be memorized directly from the source. I/O Solutions writes exam questions directly from the source material and often uses the wording as it appears from the source material. Thus, recalling the specific information from the passage can be critical in determining your success on the exam. 8. SQ3R Study Method: The acronym SQ3R stands for the five sequential techniques that have been used as a strategy to enhance the understanding and retention of reading material. This strategy includes the following steps:  Survey. Start by gathering the information necessary to focus your understanding of the chapter. Read the chapter title, chapter introduction, section summaries, and conclusion, scan through the contents of the chapter (e.g., section headings, diagrams, and pictures). Aim to gain an overall understanding of the structure of the chapter and how the main concepts are related.  Question. Go through each section of the chapter and turn the headings into questions that you think will be answered in that section. Write your questions down on a piece of paper. In the next step when you begin reading the sections, you will write down your answers that go along with each question. The purpose of this step is to help you in become actively engaged in the reading by having you seek the answers to the questions that you have formed.  Read. Read through each section, keeping the questions you have formed in mind. Also, read the section, seeking information to answer the questions that you have written down. Pay attention to determine if there are any other questions that need to be included.

Recall. When you have completed reading through a section, stop and try to answer the questions you have composed without looking back at the reading material. If you can not come up with the answers, go back to the section as many times as you need to until you can answer your questions from memory. Review. After you have completed reading through all of the sections using the aforementioned steps, you should continue going over the questions you have created and trying to answer them from memory. If you cannot answer them, you can look back to the material to refresh your memory and then continue to review. Review the material often in the weeks and days leading up to the exam.

Developing a Study Plan

Studying for future promotions and promotional processes typically begins on the first day of the start of your career; however, as an impending exam process approaches, one rule of thumb is to begin a condensed or accelerated process of study approximately 45 to 50 days out from the date of the examination. It is in the best interests of the candidate to use the entire study period to prepare for the examination. Typically, the candidate will use the initial study period to read the material and highlight, take notes or make flashcards. Thus, for a 50-day study period, the candidate may spend the first six (6) weeks reading all of the source material. The final week might be spent reviewing notes or other study material and re-reading important sections of the source material. Typically, an individual can read 15-30 pages of textbook material or department policy in an hour. In contrast, candidates can usually read approximately 10-20 pages of other highly technical material in an hour. Highlighting usually doesn’t add any significant time to the reading period although taking notes and/or developing flashcards can add a significant amount of time. Taking detailed notes will probably slow an individual to approximately 10-20 pages per hour (textbook material). While this process may slow your progress through the material, good notes can be invaluable to the study process. Given the guidelines above, you should estimate the overall time it will take to read all the source materials for the exam. For example, you may determine that you have approximately 1,000 pages of text/department policy to read and 200 pages of highly technical material. You estimate that you can read 20 pages of text per hour and approximately 15 pages of the technical material per hour. Thus, you estimate that you will need to spend approximately 63 hours to read the source material. In addition, you have decided you will highlight relevant material and take notes on critical information. Thus, you estimate that the time to progress through all the source material will increase by approximately 50 percent. Therefore, you determine it will take approximately 90 hours to read, highlight and take notes on all the source material. If you spend the first six weeks on reading the source material, you will have to spend approximately 15 hours a week on your studies. You might decide to spend two hours each night (or day, depending on your shift) after work on reading. Then you will spend

8

five hours on your off day to finish up your weekly readings. Finally, you should spend some time studying the material before the exam. It is a good idea to use the last week or two before the exam to thoroughly review the material, study and memorize critical facts. Please understand that the information provided above is simply an example. Your reading list may contain more or less source material and you should estimate the amount of reading and create a unique study plan/timeline based on the specific circumstances associated with your examination. The example study plan outlined above represents the minimum of what might be required of you to obtain a “reasonable” score assuming the example circumstances. In a competitive process, such a study plan for an “average test-taker” may not result in a score sufficient enough to move forward in the promotional process.

General Preparation Guidelines

Diligently studying for this exam will be the best method for ensuring your success; however, there are other considerations that can affect your performance on the day of the exam. Your attitude on the day of the exam, the test-taking strategies you utilize and your ability to avoid common test-taking errors will all affect the outcome of the exam. These issues are discussed in detail below. 

Preparation for the exam. You will increase your chances of obtaining your best score if you spend a lot of time preparing for the exam. This includes carefully reading and studying the materials listed on the Examination Reading List as well as this Promotional Examination Study Guide. It is also important that you avoid becoming overly anxious about the exam and implement good test-taking strategies.



Your physical well-being. Get a good night’s sleep before the exam. Try to ensure that you are in the best possible condition both physically and mentally on the day of the exam.



Arrive early. Make all necessary arrangements to ensure that you arrive early at the test site. It would be wise to anticipate traffic delays in traveling to the test site and to allocate extra travel time to ensure an early arrival even with delays. Give yourself ample time to settle in at the test site to avoid being overly nervous.



Confidence. The more confident you are in your abilities, the more likely you are to do well on the exam. Try to stay focused so that you don’t end up reading sentences and answer choices over and over again. You want to take control of the exam by feeling confident in your skills. Try to relax but concentrate on the exam you are about to take.



Attitude. This exam is an opportunity for you to demonstrate that you have a grasp of the job knowledge necessary to successfully perform at the next level, and a positive attitude can have an impact on increasing your test score. There are a few ways to fine-tune your attitude about taking this exam: Look at this exam as a challenge but try not to get "stressed out" by thinking about it too much. Remember that passing this exam is the first step in the selection process for the promotion, but it is not the only piece of information used to make that decision. By using this Promotional Examination Study Guide and practicing your strategies, you can be more prepared for the exam.

Basic Rules Governing the Testing Process

1. Promptness is mandatory for admittance to the test. Please ensure that you arrive at the site well before the examination to avoid being late. No candidate will be admitted after the start time. 2. Photo identification will be needed for admittance to the test. 3. You may bring the following supplies to the test: #2 pencils, calculator, erasers and a watch. A small pencil sharpener is also allowed. No other supplies will be permitted at the test site. Pencils will be supplied during the administration of the exam. 4. Beepers/portable phones and any other electronic or communication devices are prohibited within the testing room. If you bring such items they must be turned in prior to testing. We strongly suggest that you leave electronic devices in your vehicle for the duration of testing. If you choose to use an unauthorized communication device, in violation of testing guidelines, your test will be collected and considered invalid. 5. You will not be allowed to take any other materials with you into the examination room—this includes paperwork of any kind, backpacks, portfolios, etc. 6. Once you are seated in the classroom, you will have access to restroom facilities only if escorted by a proctor. Once testing begins, any time taken for this purpose will be counted as test time. 7. You will undergo the same standardized process as all other candidates with respect to the testing process (e.g., notification, instructions, etc.). 8. Due to the security measures that will be in place, only authorized candidates will be admitted to the test site. 9. All questions or concerns that arise during the testing process should be directed to the appropriate designated test administration staff person(s).

General Strategies for Taking the Promotional Examination

Listen Carefully. The exam administrator will provide you with complete instructions for taking the exam. Be sure that you pay close attention to all test instructions. It is extremely important that you completely understand the directions before the exam begins.

Copyright © 2014. I/O Solutions, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

11



Ask questions. If there are instructions that you do not understand or if something is not clear, please feel free to ask the exam administrator any questions that you may have before the exam begins.



Note start and end times. Just before the test administrator begins the test, make a note of the time the test will actually begin and the time that the test will end.



Keep track of time. It is important that you keep track of your time so that you are able to pace yourself throughout the exam. You do not want to run out of time and have unanswered questions. Try to pace yourself throughout the exam. It is also important that you keep track of time so that you are able to allot a few minutes of time to guess on unanswered questions at the end of the exam.



Remain calm. It is important that you remain calm throughout this exam so that you are able to work most effectively. You can’t allow yourself to become nervous or confused by a few difficult or challenging questions. There are going to be times when you are not going to know the answer and neither will other individuals taking the exam.



Read each question carefully. Be sure that you understand what the question requires of you.



Try to correctly answer the question before you look at the answers given. If you know the answer, compare it to the available choices and pick the choice closest in meaning to the answer you have in mind.



Answer easy questions first. It is important that you answer the easy questions first on this exam. By doing so, you will afford yourself more time to spend on the difficult questions if necessary. Seek out questions you can answer. If there are particular kinds of questions with which you feel most comfortable, answer those questions first. For example, if you are particularly good at reading comprehension, then find those items first and complete them.



Don’t waste time on questions you can’t answer. If you believe that you are not able to answer a question, then skip it. It is better to skip a difficult question than to spend a lot of time on it and not be able to complete other exam questions.



Mark your exam booklet. Mark in your exam booklet those questions that you have skipped so that you are able to come back to them later in the exam. Marking questions that you have skipped in your test booklet will help to ensure that you have answered all of the questions by the time the examination period has ended.



Use a process of elimination. If a situation presents itself in which you are unable to answer a question, use a process of elimination to narrow your options. First, eliminate any answers that are clearly wrong. Then determine how you feel

Copyright © 2014. I/O Solutions, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

12

about the remaining choices. If you believe that some answers are more correct than others, indicate that on your exam booklet. Later in the exam, you may have an opportunity to come back to these questions and answer them without having to read the entire question again. 

Guessing. It is important that you try to get as many points as possible on the examination. Points are given for correct answers only. Because there is no penalty (i.e., points deducted) for guessing or incorrect answers on this exam, you should try to answer every question. By leaving yourself enough time at the end of the test to fill in unanswered questions using your "best guess," you will increase the possibility of getting a few of them correct.



Extra time. If you finish the exam before the time period is over, review your answers and make any changes that are necessary. Also make sure that you have marked your answers on the answer sheet correctly.

IX.

Using the Test Answer Sheet

This section describes the procedures used to fill in the answer sheet during the actual exam. All of the questions on the examination will be multiple choice. You will mark your answers on a separate answer sheet that you will be given at the examination, and detailed instructions on how to use it will be outlined for you at that time. Things to consider when marking the answer sheet: 

Make heavy black marks that fill the circles completely.



Erase any answers you wish to change completely.



Do not make any other marks on the answer sheet.



Use a #2 pencil ONLY. Pencil is required to complete the answer sheet because a computer will be reading these marks. Do not use ink or ballpoint pens.



Place all of your answers on the answer sheet. Only answers on the answer sheet will be scored. You may use your exam booklet as scratch paper but be certain to record your answers on the answer sheet.



Use your exam booklet for scratch paper. You will also be provided an extra sheet of blank paper to be utilized as scratch paper.



Be sure that the number of the question you are working on corresponds with the number that you fill in on the answer sheet. For example, if you are working on question 37, make sure that you fill in your answer on line 37 of the answer sheet.

Copyright © 2014. I/O Solutions, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

13

Periodically check yourself to make sure that your answers are in the correct spaces. 

There are four alternatives (a, b, c and d) listed on the answer sheet for each question. Please be sure that you mark your answer in the appropriate column. You may want to go back and check your answers periodically to be sure that you have placed your answer in the correct column.

The reason that we ask you to take such care in marking your answer sheet is because the computer is not able to recognize other marks such as checks (), X’s, partially filled-in circles, etc. If the computer encounters poorly erased responses, incomplete or stray marks on your answer sheet, you may not receive credit for a correct answer.

X.

The Appeal Process

Candidates’ one and only opportunity to appeal items on the test will occur during the time allotted to complete the exam. Note that appeals must be supported by some line of reasoning to warrant a response; simply stating that a question is invalid or incorrect with no reasonable supporting argument will not warrant consideration. Candidates must submit all materials and sign out before leaving the testing site. Completed appeals will then be reviewed by subject matter experts from the Forest Preserve District of Cook County Police Department. Any appeals that are granted will be rescored for all candidates. It is the policy of I/O Solutions, when possible, to give credit to all candidates for acceptable examination appeals. Thus, items are rarely removed from the test. One exception to this policy is a circumstance where source material was included in the examination that was not contained in the examination announcement and specified as source material.
