Tips on Passing the NYPD Oral Exam
Be Honest: Always answer every question honestly and consistently, ensuring that your oral responses are the same as those on your written exam, because any discrepancies will be reviewed closely. Never try to conceal information being asked of you. It is imperative that you be upfront and honest with all of answers even if you think that part of your background and/or experience will not be received well. It is also important to always being honest and maintain a positive and professional attitude at all times.
Be Confident and Well-Prepared: Review your personal history beforehand so you are properly prepared. Utilize practice questions and mock interviews so you are confident and comfortable with whatever questions and topics are presented to you, and be sure to clearly articulate your responses. Avoid rambling or going off topic when responding; remember to remain focused on the question presented to you.
Be Professional: Dress professionally, arrive on time, be respectful to your interview, make and maintain proper eye contact, and always answer questions directly and clearly, avoiding responses that are vague or evasive. Listen closely, paying attention to the questions being asked, allowing yourself the time to formulate a concise and thoughtful response.
Be Positive: Make sure to highlight all of your strengths and any relevant experience you may have in an effort to show your suitability for the job.
When presented with a “tricky” question, remain calm and be sure to offer a thoughtful response, providing a detailed explanation of your decision-making process which brought you to that conclusion. Remember to remain calm and avoid displaying any signs of frustration or anxiety. Equally important, if you unsure about something, acknowledge that you do not have the answer and ask for clarification. You must be able to show empathy, handle stress and demonstrate your ability to handle various situations and people.
