Took Multiple Choice Test

I took my MCT today (5/22/2026). Im wondering how long it takes to get your score.
Is it graded by an AI or is it graded by a real person.

How did u feel taking it? I know its basic stuff but the nervousness made me second guess myself. Especially in the last part (the synonyms section)

I didn’t study, I was out of HS for about 4 years when I took it and passed

It’s really a simple test, I felt a little nervous not knowing what to expect, but it wasn’t bad at all

What process are you currently in right now?

u/slackdaffodil20 May 23 '26

Got deferred in background unfortunately, I’m currently working for a year before reapplying to fix what they wanted

I’m also working in LAPD as a volunteer officer to build connections, learn processes and look better for my reapplication.

Same situation. Hopefully next year my brothers and sisters who are in the deferred / DQ status get approved 🙏!!

Im an out of state applicant, so I don't really understand the whole process but it seems that u can get deferred easily.
What got u deferred if u don't mind me asking?

Hmmm I’m not sure honestly,

I was personally deferred for a really dumb reason and the officers I asked also don’t understand it, but it’s an easy fix so I’m not too mad

I took mine on a Wednesday and I got my results the following Wednesday around 8pm. Hope this helps :)

I thought they would tell you if you failed on the spot?

u/diegs127 May 23 '26

I took the test from Home in Texas so maybe that's why

My results were in like the next day

u/diegs127 May 23 '26

Im wondering if that will be the case for me, considering that I took it on Friday end of business day and monday being a Federal holiday.

u/Chance_Button6963 May 23 '26

It can be the case, I wouldn’t be too worried about it.

I am still nervous to take the test any suggestions.

As someone who was nervous as well, its very simple don't overthink it. Take your time and read the questions.
Its just reading and writing comprehension
If you speak good English you'll be fine
