Victoria Police Entrance Exam: the literacy component

The Victoria Police Entrance Exam (VPOL, formerly the Employment Suitability Test) isn't only numeracy. Its Literacy Skills section is a 30-question reading test: about six texts of varying difficulty, some with tables or figures, mostly multiple choice with some yes/no statements. It is sat by Police Officer, PSO and Police Custody Officer applicants alike. Four full practice papers are live: Paper 1 free with a free account, Papers 2 to 4 with Pro.

What our Vic Police literacy practice covers

  • Four full 30-question reading papers in the section's format, each with six texts: first-person accounts, council notices, rosters and forms, newsletter articles with figures, workplace procedures and opinion pieces.
  • Every question mapped to the Australian Core Skills Framework at Levels 2 to 4, with a worked explanation, the sentence in the text that proves the answer, and Sage AI coaching.
  • The exam also has Summary Writing and Extended Writing tasks (typed, marked out of 20 each) and a Verbal Reasoning section. Those are separate components and are not part of this paper.
  • Pass marks are published by Victoria Police for each component; a stronger literacy result strengthens your application in the same way as the numeracy component.
