I understandAdd-on and Re-test policy
- New Law Enforcement & Corrections Exam:
- Effective March 1, 2025, PST will administer a new written examination, the Guardian Selection Inventory (GSI), for all law enforcement and corrections positions. The GSI will replace the current written exam which will no longer be administered after February 28, 2025.
- If you schedule a written exam BEFORE February 28, 2025, you will be scheduled to take the old exam.
- If you schedule a written exam AFTER March 1, 2025, you will be scheduled to take the new exam.
- If you take the old exam before March 1st, you will be eligible to take the new exam when it launches. PST is waiving the 90 day reschedule policy for candidates who meet these conditions only.
- Regardless of whether you pass or fail your written exam, you must wait at least 90 days before you test again.
- PRIOR to the written exam, you must register for any/all agencies that are available to you at the time of your written exam.
- You will not be able to add agencies after your written exam, EXCEPT for the following conditions:
- 4.1 You may add an agency following your written exam if that agency is a new PST subscribing agency that was not available on the day of your written exam, OR,
- 4.2 You may add an agency following your written exam if that agency posts a new position opening in that agency’s profile on the PST website.
Law Enforcement and Corrections take the same exam, do you want to see both Law Enforcement agencies and Corrections agencies?
COVID-19 UPDATES
5/6/2020 Update:
TESTING IN WASHINGTON STATE CANCELED THROUGH MAY 31, 2020
All pre-employment tests in Washington State have been canceled until May 31, 2020 unless government restrictions are eased. With recent updates, facility closures, and government guidelines, this step is necessary and could be modified at any time. The health and safety of our customers, our staff, and their families is of the highest priority.
We will continue to evaluate developments and make changes to this policy as necessary. When we do resume testing, there will be plenty of events for everyone to test. We are in regular communication with our public safety agency partners, assessing alternatives to the traditional testing model and our testing policies. Any future updates will be posted on the PST website and our Facebook page.
4/1/2020 Update:
If you have tested with PST in the past 12 months, there may be additional positions you are now eligible to add. Several departments have temporarily changed their testing policies due to the suspension in testing that COVID-19 has caused. Please login to your PST account and navigate to the ‘New Positions’ page to see what departments you can add! We will regularly update that page in your account as departments send updates.
FUTURE TEST REGISTRATION
We know that there will be testing in the future - we just don’t know when! We want you to be prepared for when testing begins again so we have created test events on our calendar that you can register for that will place you in a queue to be first notified. These tests are not “real” test events, they are essentially a holding area. You will be able to “reschedule” out of that event to any other event date/location at no cost. Registering now will also give you time to work on your Personal History Statement (PHS) so that your data will be ready and up-to-date to send to your departments once testing resumes.
To sign up for this placeholder event, select the June 15, 2020 test date in your category (police, fire, 911 dispatch, corrections, etc.).
