PSR Train multiple-choice practice (not the official PSRAS papers)
PSR Train multiple-choice practice is preparation, not the official PSRAS assessment. The Police Station Register Arrangements 2025 define the Relevant Tests as the portfolio (Part A and B), the written examination, and the Critical Incidents Test. Confirm the live format with your assessment organisation.
Official Relevant Tests vs practice MCQs
The Legal Aid Agency’s Police Station Register Arrangements 2025 define “Relevant Tests” as the portfolio test covering Part A and B cases, the written examination, and the Critical Incidents Test, as prescribed by the authorised Assessment Organisation. They do not list a multiple-choice paper as a Relevant Test. Read the Arrangements at https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/68dcf841ef1c2f72bc1e4c9f/Police_Station_Register_Arrangements_2025.pdf (checked 5 October 2026).
PSR Train timed MCQs are study tools for England and Wales candidates. They are not a substitute for the official written examination. Confirm the live paper format, exemptions and booking rules with Cardiff, Datalaw or whichever Assessment Organisation you use. See /guides/psras-written-exam for written-paper preparation and verify pass standards with the SRA and the assessment body.
What these practice questions cover
Practice items typically probe Code C detention, interview procedure, identification under Code D, and ethical boundaries. The aim is application of PACE 1984 and the Codes, not abstract memorisation alone.
Timing and practice technique
- Work to a steady pace; flag and return to hard questions
- Eliminate obviously wrong distractors
- Watch for Code-specific triggers in the stem
- Review wrong answers by Code C and Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 references
Using PSR Train for MCQs
Timed mock sets build speed before you sit the official written examination and CIT. Track weak topics and revisit Code C guides before the next mock. Spaced repetition beats cramming. Access is free while we are testing; paid plans are planned.
