Candidates must prove an exceptional 50 Net WPM with at least 98% accuracy. Tests simulate frantic emergency call logs, street name verifications, and suspect description transcriptions.
💡 Pro Exam Advice for Candidates
Do not look at the keyboard during the test. Keep your fingers resting on the home row (ASDF JKL;). Maintain a consistent rhythm rather than bursting speed, as irregular rhythm leads to transposition errors that severely penalize Net WPM under official ESTA (Victoria) / NSW Police / Queensland Police Service scoring rules.
