About the Victoria Police Entrance Exam
Victoria Police recruitment includes the Victoria Police Entrance Exam, administered by ACER (via the official vpol.acer.org candidate portal). The assessment covers Literacy (30 questions, 35 minutes), Summary Writing, Extended Writing, Verbal Reasoning (34 questions, 15 minutes), Numeracy (30 questions, 35 minutes), Abstract Reasoning (45 questions, 20 minutes), an Oral Assessment and a Digital Literacy component.
Victoria Police runs the most sections of the three states, eight in total, including Numeracy and Digital Literacy components that NSW and QLD do not use in the same form.
Important: Most Australian police forces enforce a stand-down period, typically 6 to 12 months, if you fail or score below the required benchmark before you can reapply. Victoria Police's exact current policy should be checked on the official recruitment site before you apply.
