BC Police Math Workbook: No-Calculator Practice and Job-Specific Word Problems for Canadian Police Applicants
Stop stressing over high school math.
If you are trying to get onto a police force in British Columbia, you know the math test does not let you use a calculator. Big Prep companies give you generic practice books filled with bake sale word problems. We don't do that.
Here at our Victoria desk, we build books that do Test Prep + Job Prep. You will practice with real scenarios-like calculating fuel burn on patrol or adjusting speeds for winter highway convoys. We help you beat the clock, conquer percentage errors, and walk into your exam with total confidence.
What's Inside:
- A clear 6-week study plan made for busy working adults.
- No-calculator mental math boot camps to sharpen your pencil skills.
- 3-minute power drills to beat speed anxiety.
- Police-context word problems that mirror actual job duties.
- Full-length practice tests with plain-English answer breakdowns.
The big corporate publishers want to sell you massive, dry manuals filled with generic math problems about black pencils and blue pencils.. That doesn't help you when you're trying to figure out how to pace yourself on a strict 25-minute test window.
We do things differently here in Victoria. We believe in Test Prep + Job Prep. That means every single page in this workbook is designed around the actual numbers you'll deal with on the job as a police officer in B.C.
Big Prep Generic Question
1. The manager of a weaving factory estimates that if 10 machines run at 100% efficiency for 8 hours, they will produce 1450 meters of cloth. Due to some technical problems, 4 machines run of 95% efficiency and the remaining 6 at 90% efficiency. How many meters of cloth can these machines will produce in 8 hours?
2. A box contains 7 black pencils and 28 blue ones. What is the ratio between the black and blue pens?
