No. Did they say which number of questions they will be? No. I think legally all DCAS is required to do is to notify you, the t...

I am using Fast Track to study but I want to supplement with more practice questions. Is there something for sale that only has practice questions, maybe listed by PG sections? Will the Police Academy have their own sgt exam classes for this exam? I remember their questions were good.
