Situational judgement

Wing scenarios: a cancelled visit, a refusal to lock up, a worrying change in someone's mood. Pick the most and least effective response.

Online Tests

Full SBT practice mock

Situational judgement (16 scenarios, 20 minutes) followed by numeracy (20 questions, 15 minutes): practice in the format reported by applicants and HMPPS's 2019 blog. It is our own practice, not the official test. Each mock serves questions you haven't seen before, so you can sit five different ones.
