What is the RCMP Assessment?
The RCMP aptitude test is an important part of the application procedure. Passing this pre-employment exam will place you on an “Eligible” list, moving you forward along the selection process to become an RCMP Officer. Your ranking on that list is wholly dependent upon your score: The better the score, the higher the rank. By contrast, in the event that the RPAB is not passed, the hiring process ends.
The assessment's time duration is 55-70 minutes. some of the portions are timed, and candidates are advised to finish the exam in one sitting.
Research has proven a substantial correlation between aptitude tests and job performance regardless of the field. The RCMP strongly recommends that every applicant take the time and make the effort to prepare for this entrance exam by working through an RCMP practice test.
The RCMP test consists of six sections:
1. Workstyle Preference:
This section, similar to a personality test, is meant to check if you are a good match to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police work environment. There are no wrong answers, theoretically, but if you read our explanation of a sample question bellow you will see why practicing for this section is important.
- You will be given statements requiring an answer between strongly agree, agree, neutral, disagree, and strongly disagree.
- Candidates are recommended to answer for a work perspective.
Tip: It is wise to adapt your answers to the job you are applying for during a personality test. The Personality Tests Guide found in this pack includes everything you need to know about how personality tests work and how you should go about answering each question.
A workstyle preference question might look like this:
"I prefer to handle tasks alone rather than work in a group"
Strongly Agree | Agree | Neutral | Disagree | Strongly Disagree
Questions on workstyle preference tests are tricky, since a very high score in one trait flags as a “risk” behavior.
Answering "agree"/"strongly agree" here indicates you are likely to be less of a team player. For certain organizations that believe in personal responsibility and reliability this might not be an issue. However, this tendency may hold you back since police forces like the RCMP requires police officers to be able to work in a team.
2. Language Comprehension
This part is comprised of two subtests- Word Relationships and Word Meanings.
- Word Relationships- you will be provided with two words with a certain relationship to each other, and another word. you must find the answer which completes the same relationship with the third word as the first two have. Remember that the word's position in the pair (first/second) matters!
- Word Meanings – You will be shown a word, and must choose the word that has the closest meaning to it.
- You will have 5 minutes for each of the two subtests.
Word Meanings Sample Question 1
Rile most nearly means:
Word Meanings Sample Question 2
Surmount most nearly means:
Word Relationships Sample Question 1
RING is to TRUNK as SEDIMENT is to ________.
Word Relationships Sample Question 2
________ is to JUICE as WHEAT is to BREAD
The preparation pack offers extensive practice in both subtests of the Language Comprehension section. Start practicing and become a police officer!
3. Numerical Skills
This part will have you calculating and doing arithmetic. It comprises of level 1 calculations (addition & multiplication), and level 2 calculations (addition, substraction, multiplication and division).
- You will have 3 minutes for each of the two subtests
- Word Meanings – You will be shown a word, and must choose the word that has the closest meaning to it.
Level 1 Calculations Sample Question 1
0.75 X 1/3 = ?
Level 1 Calculations Sample Question 2
2/3 X 3/2 = ?
Level 2 Calculations Sample Question 1

- You are instructed to complete as many questions as you can.
- You may skip questions you are having difficulty with, in order to complete more questions within the time limit.
- Remember- if you feel you won't be able to solve a question, it is strategically correct to skip it in order to achieve the best score possible.
