Why CCS Test Prep®?

CCS Test Prep® is the #1 exam preparation company in New Jersey and is focused on preparing police, sheriffs, and corrections candidates for the New Jersey Civil Service Commission (NJCSC) Law Enforcement Examination (LEE). The company founder, Chief David A. Paprota, Ed.D., has over 30 years experience in successfully preparing candidates to achieve the highest scores in the state on the entry-level Law Enforcement Exam (LEE). Prepare to achieve a perfect score with CCS Test Prep®. 

The NJ Civil Service Commission (NJCSC) changed the NJ LEE administration as an annual cycle for those titles/jurisdictions that choose to test more frequently. The NJDOC requested another test in 2024, so the NJCSC included the NJDOC Correctional Police Officer title on the 2024 NJ LEE announcement. The current NJ LEE application period opened on March 1, 2024, with an application closing date of April 1, 2024.

CCS Test Prep®  offers a highly effective online prep program to meet everyone’s busy schedule. The CCS Test Prep® Online Learning Platform has proven to be a far more effective than in-class instruction. Students will have the ability to study and practice with 24/7 access up to the day of the test.

Candidates who registered for the CCS Test Prep® program will be provided every advantage possible. That drive for exceptional performance will continue to be the focus. CCS Test Prep® utilizes the most effective training methods and timelines to give every student the optimal training experience for the greatest outcomes.

With regard to the administration of the actual written exam, the NJCSC is expected to facilitate the administration of the NJ LEE during the month of July 2024. The NJCSC uses an online scheduling portal for candidates to choose their test location, date, and time. Last year, on Friday, May 5, 2023, the NJCSC sent out an online scheduling link from the SignUpGenius™ platform to candidates with the available test dates all being in July. Those candidates who did not select a test date were later assigned a date by the NJCSC.

The EXTRA Touch Toward Perfection

Students have the opportunity to work through very focused online lessons with instructional videos, printable PDFs, and most importantly, dozens of automated short quizzes online which are instantly scored with answer guides for immediate feedback. These online quizzes and the focused reinforcement provided have proven invaluable to students performance.

Perfection is not only possible but is expected with the CCS Test Prep® program.

New Jersey Civil Service LEE

The Civil Service Application Period

The New Jersey Civil Service Commission (NJCSC) opened the 2024 NJ LEE application period on March 1, 2024 and with a closing date listed as April 1, 2024. Candidates are required to submit applications for each title and jurisdiction for which he or she would like to be eligible. 

The NJCSC is expected to administer the NJ LEE exam in July of 2024.  Last year, on May 5, 2023, the NJCSC sent applicants a link to SignUpGenius™ for candidates to select their test date, location, and time. Candidates can expect the NJCSC to follow a similar schedule as in 2023.

The NJCSC commonly uses community college sites around the state for testing. The NJCSC most commonly uses county college facilities in Bergen County, Passaic County, Hudson County, Essex County, Union County, Middlesex County, Ocean County, Mercer County, Camden County, and Atlantic County. Candidates usually have the ability to choose any of the locations and were not limited to their home county. 

When to Complete the Online Prep Course?

Every candidate is different, but history has proven that the most consistently high scores come from those who prepare diligently during the three weeks of the actual exam. Since candidates are able to choose their test date from a long list of options over a six week period, the individual student’s online access will be set for the weeks leading up to the student’s actual test date. The CCS Test Prep® Online Program has an established timeline of phasing in learning components during the weeks immediately leading up to the day of the student’s exam. The timeline is based on analyzing and identifying the most successful methods of training for students to achieve the highest outcomes. Students who prepare during the month (weeks and days) leading directly up to the actual exam date consistently score higher than students who attend courses too far from the exam administration. The CCS Test Prep® Online Program utilizes the ideal timelines for the greatest student success.

The NJ LEE

The NJ LEE is a very important exam, as it includes varied law enforcement titles and has only been administered once every three years since 2010. The titles covered by the exam include: Municipal Police Officer, Campus Police Officer Recruit, County Police Officer, Park Police Officer, Police Officer Recruit Human Services, Police Officer Palisades Interstate Park, Sheriff’s Officer, State Park Police Officer, County Correctional Police Officer, State Correctional Police Officer (NJDOC), State Correctional Police Officer Juvenile Justice, Parole Officer Recruit Juvenile Justice Commission and Parole Officer Recruit. Well over 20,000 candidates sit for the LEE. Candidates must achieve exceptional test scores in order to be among the top candidates eligible to be considered for openings. Proper preparation is critical when taking this very competitive exam!

The State of New Jersey chose the PSI/Talogy testing company as the vendor to write and administer the LEE exam. The specific exam utilized is a multi-factor psychometric test that has proven to be the most comprehensive, valid, and reliable entry-level law enforcement exam available nationally. This is the exact type of exam which served as the basis of much of Chief Paprota’s doctoral research.
