What the real NAPOLCOM PNP Entrance Exam covers

The PNP Entrance Examination is given by the National Police Commission. Passing it gives the eligibility needed for appointment as Patrolman/Patrolwoman in the Philippine National Police. It tests reasoning and general information rather than a course, so steady practice moves the score.

The four areas (3 hours, pen and paper)

AreaWhat it covers
General Information / UprightnessThe Philippine Constitution, PNP laws, the criminal justice system, social awareness, value judgement and values
Verbal ReasoningVocabulary, paragraph organization, reading comprehension and grammar
Quantitative ReasoningPercentages, fractions, number series, problem solving and bar-graph interpretation
Logical ReasoningVerbal and non-verbal reasoning

NAPOLCOM doesn't publish the number of items or how they split across areas.

Passing mark

A rating of at least 70%. Only 9,224 of 38,022 examinees (24.26%) passed in April 2026, so aim well above the mark.

Next exam

18 October 2026 (registration closed 21 August). The first 2027 sitting is expected in April, not yet announced.

A study plan that works

  1. Diagnose first. Take this test and note your weakest areas — the 70% is one overall rating, so one weak area can pull you under.
  2. Drill logical reasoning. Syllogisms, series and deductive patterns get faster with practice.
  3. Bank quantitative points. Percentages, ratio, number series and word problems reward short daily drills.
  4. Don't skip General Information. The Constitution and PNP laws are learnable, high-yield facts.
  5. Practise to the real time limit. The exam runs 3 hours — build the pace before exam day.
