Reading and Writing Test
Important Update as of 9/30/2024:
The Reading and Writing test is designed to measure writing skills and reading comprehension required both in basic police training and on the job. The cost to take the test is $72.
Tests are offered only at participating training academies which are under Commission supervision. Your test results never expire, if taken after November 1, 1999, but you may retake the test at any time, if you desire. If you tested before May 2024 and do not have a copy of your results, you may request a copy of the results from mcolesteam@talogy.com. If you tested after May 2024, your test results are emailed to the email address you registered with on the Talogy website 24 hours after the test administration is completed. In addition, a hard copy of results will be mailed to all candidates within two weeks of the test administration.
If you need to cancel an exam please send an email to mcolesteam@talogy.com and include your name, the date and time of your exam, and the last 4 digits of your social security number after you have followed the directions for cancelling (found in your confirmation letter). NOTE: Tests cannot be cancelled within 48 hours of the test date, so please cancel more than 48 hours before the scheduled test time.
