Correctional Officer Entrance Exam Prep by Sgt. Godoy

To become a Correctional Officer, applicants must pass a written exam known as the Correctional Officer Entrance Exam. This is in addition to other assessments, like the Physical Abilities Test, Background Investigation and Panel Interview.

There is NO standard for the Correctional Officer Entrance Exam in the U.S. Each state decides what content will be included on their respective exams (see chart below.) There are, however, common hiring standards that all states are trying to achieve. They want their correctional officers to have: the ability to read and follow procedures, the ability to write clearly and fill out forms accurately, good judgement, basic math skills, the ability to observe and recall details, and the ability to keep track of people while they are moving around.
