Let’s be honest for a second. Staring down a police math test when you haven’t touched a high school textbook in ten years—and being told you can’t use a calculator—is enough to make anyone’s palms sweat.
The big corporate publishers want to sell you massive, dry manuals filled with generic math problems about watermelons and imaginary triangles. 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.

| 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? | 1. You are dispatched to a priority call 25 kilometres away. You begin driving at 90 km/h. After 10 minutes of driving, you encounter a blocked train crossing that delays you for exactly 5 minutes. What average speed must you maintain for the remainder of the trip if your total travel time from dispatch to arrival must not exceed 20 minutes? |
| 2. A box contains 7 black pencils and 28 blue ones. What is the ratio between the black and blue pens? | 2. During a 12-hour shift, an officer spends 1/3 of the time on foot patrol, 1/4 of the time completing reports, and the remaining time on vehicle patrol. How many hours are spent on vehicle patrol? |
We’ll show you how to handle percentage word problems without mixing up your bases, we’ll walk you through our favorite mental math shortcuts, and we’ll help you beat the speed anxiety that trips up so many good candidates.
