Applying for correctional officer job, what is the "General Knowledge" written test?

Question

Anyone familiar with this general knowledge exam? Its one of the first tests your required to take.

I just want to know what I should expect. It doesn't give any details on their website...

Answer 1

Actually the test just asks questions about policy and procedure. How would you react to a riot?.. What do you do when an inmate comes at you with a shank?.. etc.
Most of them are literally nothing to worry about. If it was that complicated there would be a study guide with the test. You go over different scenarios and situations in class then take the test. Sometimes you have to be exposed to a chemical agent too. Also you will be trained on Unarmed Self-Defense and Interpersonal Communications on how to deal with people in general. The test is not hard but you must answer the way the institution intends for you to.Don't be a lone ranger and answer out of the box. Your job will be to secure and protect not steal..kill..and destroy dude!
